Frozen Friday

During our Media Literacy class in the Library, we learned more about primary and secondary sources for our Social Studies research projects. We continued our Novel Study, with a comic strip assignment, and had our unit 10 spelling tests.

In Math, we continued our new units on Addition and Subtraction, and are practising our Mental Math skills by estimating answers to questions in our heads using various strategies. At home, parents/guardians can support this learning by asking addition and subtraction questions, and making the children answer them without pencils, paper or calculators. Grade 5 students should be drilled using numbers from 0 to 1 000, while grade 6 students should practice with numbers from 0 to 100 000.

In Gym we continued developing our basketball skills. We have a number of skilled players in room 201. We ended our day with a finish-up period, working on any outstanding assignments from this week.
