Our Week in Review

Thanks for all the donations to our Lenten Project this week-the Shepherd's of Good Hope.  

We continue to work on perimeter in math and will be working on area next week.

Andrew tried out the Ozobots this week after creating a triangle with a perimeter of 34 cm.

In Language this week, we listened to the story 'The Giving Tree' by Shel Silverstein.  Students were asked to infer what the tree represented in the story.

Here are their responses:

In writing, we are learning about how to do procedural writing.  The teacher wrote a procedural text about how to get ready for a winter recess (yes...it's March but it is still COLD!).

Thanks to Sierra and Vincent for demonstrating how to properly get ready for recess!

Vincent remembers how cold it can be!

In Religion, we have been learning about mortal and venial sin and in Family Life (Fully Alive) we discussed our positions in our family.  We discussed what was the best thing about their position (oldest, middle or youngest) and what were some of the drawbacks to the position.
On Friday, during the Holy Redeemer Earth Hour, we created freestanding structures using straws and tape (scissors as well!).  Warren, Ben and Tomek were able to create a structure that was over 1 metre tall.

We also created Earth Hour ads to promote the one hour of lights off around the world!

During our Gym time, we were asked to create paper airplanes.  After creating and practicing, we competed to see who could throw their plane the furthest.  Arda managed to throw his over 8 metres. In fact, the wall of the gym stopped his airplane from going further!  Woo hoo! What a busy week!
