3A what day is it today?

Hi 3A!

Are you enjoying learning comparatives and superlatives?
All the exercise you do are to ensure you get the hang of it by continuously working on them. So don't complain about a lot of homwork ok :) It is for your benefit!
This week we were introduced to a different rule about comparatives and superlatives using the word more and most instead of adding er and est. This rule applies when you are using an adjective (a word that describes a noun) that is more than two syllables. For eg beautiful. The flower is more beautiful than the plant. The rose is the most beautiful flower. Remember:
More than is used for comaparatives and
The most is used for superlatives...

1.5 readers have been reading the story Lost! about a bear that gets lost in the city and a young boy helps him find his home. 2.1 students have been reading Duck, about the growing stages of a duck. Next week both groups will use 1.5 to read a story called The bravest cat. It is a great story about a brave mother cat who rescues her kittens from a building that's on fire.

See you all tomorrow...

4A and field trips

Last week we had late notice on a field trip that would take place on a Thursday 11th March, and so students were told on Tuesday that their weekly spelling test would take place on Wednesday. Some students were not prepared, and so the test was retaken on Sunday by those who wished to. 4A, the spelling words are not be memorised the night before so you have 20/20 on your test, but to be able to use those words in everyday speech and writing. I hope you can make an effort to start using them.

We have been focusing a lot on synonyms and antonyms these past few days, as they are vital to speaking and communicating effectively. Use these words, and your language skills will improve dramatically.

Superfudge readers have completed their book and soon Tales of a fourth grade nothing students will complete their books too. We are in the process of receiving more Judy Blume books, that I am sure you will love! In the meantime we will start some short stories, focusing on international culture and general knowledge.

Take care
Miss Fatimah.
