Today we skyped with the author, Max Brallier the author of Galactic Hot Dogs.  It was so much fun!  We asked lots of questions and Max answered them.  He told us there would be a book two and three for Galactic Hot Dogs.  The characters are Cosmoe, the earth boy, Humphree, Cosmoe's best buddy, Princess Dagger, Evil Queen Dagger and General Krax von Grumble.

We spoke to Max Brallier because we wanted to know more about him.   He lives in New York and he is a really big fan of comic books.  We asked him where he got his ideas from and Max told us that when he was our age he would get his ideas from movies.

Maths in Year 3

Learning Intention: to model and show commonly used fractions.

On the 27th of May, Year 3 have been using fractions to our pizzas equally. We have a pizza shop where we have been visualising how to cut our pieces of pizza so everyone gets an equal share. We have been using fractions such as halves, quarters, thirds, eighths, thirty seconds and sixty fourths. 3W made a number line from 0-1 using the fractions of pizza. We found the bigger the denominator the closer the fraction is to 0.

Footy Knock Out

On Friday the 29th of May 2015, Lewis W and Darragh M went to the Footy Knock Out with a number of other Year 3 students. We got to school at 7:45am and left on the bus at 8am.

According to Lewis and Darragh the day was great because Liam scored a try in his 3rd game ever and we had a draw against the hardest team in the competition. The boys agreed that Darragh having a head clash with a friend from baseball and losing three games were not a good parts of the day.
