Creating a mindmap to organise your thoughts is a great way to plan for writing. This plan was created by 3AC to help them prepare for writing a recount about their excursion to Centrepoint Tower. Keep checking this post as we intend to add other media to our mind map.
Despite the rain and cold weather, everyone had a great day visiting one of the most significant sites in Sydney. We would love to hear what you enjoyed about the excursion. What did you learn? What did you find most interesting? Do some research and find out as many facts as you can about this site and share them with us.
Also check out the videos that have been added to our blog. These may be helpful for your assignment.
The Premier’s Reading Challenge has come around again. Year 3 students are required to read 20 books, 15 of these books need to be from the premier’s reading challenge list and 5 books can be your own personal choice. This week tell us about one of the books that you have read for the premier’s reading challenge. In your response I would like you to answer three questions. 1. What was story about? 2. What was your favourite part and Who would you recommend this book to?
I am looking forward to reading your responses.
Welcome back to school everyone. We hope you had a fun and happy holiday. Last term we had a great time reading books by Paul Jennings. This term we are going to be learning about a different author, her name is Margaret Wild. Margaret Wild is an Australian author. She has won many awards for her books. My favourite book written by Margaret Wild is called ‘Fox’. I would love to hear what you think of this story. After you have read one of her books tells us what you think. Did you like this story? Why/Why not? How did it make you feel? What do you think the author was trying to teach us?
Year 3 have been enjoying some wonderful stories written by the author Paul Jennings but who is Paul Jennings? What can you find out about him? Where does he live? Where was he born? How many books has he published? What are his likes and dislikes? See if you can investigate and find out a little bit about him.
Please remember not to copy text from any website. You need to read it and make some notes then write about the information you have found in your own words.
Students have written and published some wonderful narratives over the last few weeks. If you have published a piece of your writing and would like to share it with everyone, email your work to your teacher and we will put it up on our blog to share.

Congratulations Year 3 on finishing the wonderful story of ‘James and the Giant Peach’ by Roald Dahl. We are pleased to hear that so many of you loved reading the book. Your final activity is to write a recommendation for other children. Your recommendation will need to suggest whether you think that other children should or should not read the story ‘James and the Giant Peach.’ Your response will also highlight parts of the story that you either liked a lot or didn’t enjoy very much. Remember to give reasons for whatever you suggest.
