Hello!
An exciting week with a trip to see the Victoria Symphony on Thursday, and our class dance routing for the Friday shuffle.
In language arts, we started looking into comic books, discussing the attributes and unique features that can captivate our attention.
In math, we continued working with place value for the thousandth decimal place. We worked on subracting decimals, with all students doing well with the quiz.
In social studies, we learned about the different political parties of BC and Canada. We took this a step further by creating political campaign posters for the Canadian Federal election.
In science, we experimented with making different types of rocks out of crayons. We started with carving and cutting crayons to make sediment. By applying some pressure, our sediment combined to form a sedimentary rock (with mixed results). We then placed our sedimentary into some hot water, and used our hands and text books to apply heat and pressure. We pressurised the rocks overnight, creating metamorphic rocks. Finally, we took pieces of each crayon rock, and added it into a heat source, melting it, creating crayon magma. After our magma cooled, it formed an igneous crayon rock.
Next week we will finish off our fraction and decimal unit in math, start working on creating our own comics in language arts, host an election to vote for our federal party candidate in social studies, participate in a science venture rock and roll activity for science, and look into food for French.
Our basket for the Fun Fair auction is looking a little slim… We have been given the task to collect spa, bath bombs, romance novels, and chocolate for our basket. Being those items in!
Have a good long weekend, and see you Tueaday!
