It was a foggy Monday morning at The Maples so we had an
indoor gym lesson. Thank you
to Abbie who led the stretches.
Our fitness circuit was intense. At the last station Oliver
almost ran out of gas but managed to dig deep and finish all of his exercises.
Excellent effort!
In this edition of European handball green was victorious over
yellow. The green team played with spectacular chemistry. The passing was
incredible and it showed in the score. Morgan, Ben, Cole, Ella, Abbie and
Karlynn were a team.
Play of the match goes to Ben with a miraculous 10 touch
save.
After recess we had show and share. Ben presented his photo
book/photo album from his trip to India. There were some stunning pictures of
the Taj Mahal.
This weekend Karlynn went to the Girls Hockey-fest in
Toronto. Which is a charity event put on by Scotia bank and the Toronto Furies
where she met players from both the Women’s national team, and the Toronto Furies. She also showed us the autographed jersey she received.
Grade 5’s – learnt about relating fractions to decimals
Grade 6’s learnt about
addition of fractions. Building on previous concepts students add the
numerators of like fractions and made equivalent fractions from unlike
fractions before adding them together.
In English
the students were introduced to the new literature for the next unit. The students
will be reading 3 novels selected for the students to challenge them. The novels
are; Treasure Island by Robert Louis
Stevenson, the Teacher’s Funeral by
Richard Peck, and Up the Road slowly by
Irene Hunt.
The students took up language skills 14 and submitted
written expressions for grading. The students took the last 15 minutes to organize
their surveys for the Exhibition.
During Unit of
inquiry students worked on their presentations and movies. They also
created graphs and tabulated the results of their surveys.
Tonight all efforts in homework should be towards the
exhibition.
