Reading: Fact or Opinion
We have been learning about fact and opinion.
We listened to video a video clip and created a list together of all the facts and all the opinions in the clip.
We read different sentences on the board then ran to the fact or opinion sign.

George’s Marvellous Medicine
Primary 3 are enjoying listening to George’s Marvellous Medicine by Rohal Dahal. Today the boys and girls explored the character description of Grandma. They reread an extract form chapter 1: Grandma in their groups. Then highlighted all the adjectives in the passage, pink. All the connectives yellow. And all the punctuation green. The boys and girls discovered speech marks and are excited to learn how to use speech marks tomorrow.
The boys and girls used what they had learned to write fabulous sentences including interesting adjectives to describe Grandma. 
Alan also enjoyed our fine motor skills activities earlier this week and completed them all so fast!
