Reminders
Thank you to the parents that have already done so. Please return the
registration package for the next academic year.
Math
The grade 6’s took up their homework from the previous lesson. They also
had a period to complete problems from the Jump Math exercise book page 131, Continuous
Line Graphs. Following this exercise, they worked on mean, median and mode. No
homework this evening, there will be another work period tomorrow.
The grade 7’s completed the second part of their 9.2 investigation. They
conducted a school wide survey. Their inquiry question was, is a quarter of the
population’s favourite colour blue? They calculated that 25% of The Maples community
likes blue. Excellent inquiry skills!
See unit syllabus for suggested homework problems 9.5 and section 9.6.
An Inquiry
into Physical and Health Education

usual please check out Miss. Cranfield’s blog.
An Inquiry
into Language
The
grade 6’s continued reading chapter 16. We had a deep discussion about the
factors that contribute high school graduation rates.
Unit 25
spelling pre-test was administered. No grammar skills this week.
UOI
The students explored commands to an
arcade style maze game. For homework, students are encouraged to look for
videos on YouTube, web forums, or the Scratch Library for ideas. The lesson
will resume tomorrow. At the end of the lesson they had an opportunity to share
their work with the class.
Unit Reflection’s
The grade 6’s had an
opportunity to reflect on the previous unit. They collected samples of their
best work, something they worked hard on, something to improve on and a piece
that demonstrated an IB attribute.
