How quickly the Christmas holidays seem so far away. We have all settled back into our routines. The next couple of weeks will be jam packed as we approach the first term report cards.
In math, students are focusing on measurement expectations. Students are developing skills on how to solve problems relating to area. We can now solve for the area of rectangles, parallelograms, and triangles. Our measurement text is next Monday, January 20.
In religion our focus has been on the Epiphany. You are welcome to join us for our Epiphany mass this Wednesday, January 15 at 1:00pm in our gym.
In language, students began today presenting their Christmas recount media presentations. I am very impressed with both the quality and preparedness that students showed during class today. These presentations will continue tomorrow. I look forward to learning all about everyone's Christmas holidays.
In Science, we continue to look at both forms of energy (grade 5) and planets (grade 6). Students did a wonderful job last week presenting their group inquiry task (researching a particular energy form/planet). They learnt key information from each other!
In Visual Arts/Physical Education, we are beginning this week our mixed media print artwork. Thank you to everyone who brought in media print so that we could complete our masterpieces. The subject of their artwork is active lifestyles. Stay tuned to see how they turn out. Also, our gym focus is currently badminton.
Please remember to regularly check your child's agenda for upcoming assignments/test or requested materials.
