Grade 3 Ss have been learning about building, structures and bridges. Ss worked in small groups to build a bridge and test it for stability and strength. What kind of a bridge is it? Who much weight could it hold? @DHSPaterson @DHarkness_CBE

We are learning about imagery in grade 3. With yesterday being the first day of spring, students used loose parts to create something they hear, smell, see, feel or taste in spring. @DHSPaterson @DHarkness_CBE @PlayPerspectiv1

Grade 3 students have been learning figurative language. They were challenged to write a haiku poem that contained a simile. It was hard work but students met the challenge. @DHSPaterson @DHarkness_CBE #wearecbe

@DHSPurdy @DHS_MsSara @DHarkness_CBE Maybe some grade 1/2’s could teach us what they learned. We were discussing how to give compliments yesterday in grade 3.

It was Winter Walk Day and Grade 3’s got outside to participate! Although it was a bit chilly, it is always nice to get out of the classroom and move our bodies. @DHSPaterson @DHarkness_CBE #wearecbe

For “World Read Aloud Day” students tuned in to hear David A Robertson read his book “On the Trapline” and answer questions. As always, the presentation was great and @DaveAlexRoberts was engaging and informative! @DHSPaterson @DHarkness_CBE

Which pillar will hold the most mass? Why did the cylindrical pillar hold more mass than the triangular and rectangular pillars? Students worked with partners to build and test pillars to see which one was the strongest. @DHSPaterson @DHarkness_CBE #WeAreCBE

Grade 3’s continue to explore hearing and sound. Today our student teacher Ms. Hainstock set up a variety of music instruments to test. Is the pitch high, medium or low? What about the volume? @DHarkness_CBE #wearecbe

We have been reading the novel “The Wild Robot” in grade 3. This week, students constructed the main character Roz and tried to camouflage her to the various settings in the book? @DHSPaterson @DHarkness_CBE #wearecbe
