Camp tip:3

Children should practise packing and unpacking their school bag independently.

Congratulations to Kwan Ho of 3K! He came 55th out of all the Year 3’s in the WORLD in the World Education Day maths competition.

Well done to all the children in Year 3 who remember to bring fruit and vegetables to school for snack on ‘Fruity Friday’.

Children are now borrowing books from the Learning Centre. Please ensure your child returns any books borrowed after two weeks.

Please remember that we have a no nut policy at BHS due to some children having severe allergies. This includes peanut butter sandwiches and nuts in cookies or cakes.

Please ensure that ALL uniform (including shoes) is clearly labelled with your child’s name.

Procedure

Instructions tell us how to make or do something.

The features include:

Title – What is being explained

Goal – What is the aim of the procedure

Needs – what is needed to complete the procedure

Steps – Step by step instructions

Check – How to check it works.

The children will use their knowledge of procedural writing to write a set of instructions about what to do when they hear the fire alarm. They will work on selecting the appropriate imperative (bossy) verb when explaining each step. The children will continue to explore different types of procedural texts.
