Ruth King Division 2

Hello!

Our school year has ended, and I hope everyone had a lot of fun this year.

Monday we cleaned out our class, wrote a letter to our grade 12s selves, and had our class auction!

Tuesday was beach day, everyone had a blast, and only I burnt my nose.

Wednesday was camp thunderbird, and it was a fantastic time! Students were all able to canoe, do some orienteering, and either got to participate in archery or rock climing. It was a great experience.

Thursday was our year end assembly, grade 5 grad, and afternoon water fight! It was cold, but still a lot of fun. Report cards were also handed out.

Have a good summer, and best of luck next year in middle school!

Hello!

Our class started this week off with a fun trip to Langford Lanes bowling! We also played a quick suprise game of minigolf before.

In math, we finished off our work on transformations, showing the school what a translation, reflection, and rotation looks like.

In language arts, we reviewed the activities our class has participated in this year, and wrote up our self assessment with the core competencies.

In science, we shared and presented our rock and mineral PowerPoint to the class. They were all well informed and the presentations were great! We also looked at trajectory and force by shooting projectiles through the air, trying to hit a target.

In social studies, we continues working on our country projects. So far there are a lot of unique ideas on how to run a country.

In art, we worked on our fathers/grandfathers/older brothers day presents. I hope you enjoy them!

2 weeks left to go! Monday we will be swimming at the YMCA. I will email out a reminder about swimsuits. We are also going to be building our own rockets, so we need 2l bottles, cardboard, and got glue guns!

A few students still need to return their camp thunderbird forms, and the trip is coming up soon. Fun day will be friday, and beach day forms will be going home soon.

Have a good weekend, and protect yourself from the sun, as it’s gonna be hot!

Hello!

A busy week with the Fun Fair and track day as we start June off with a bang!

We have up using toondoo, and started exploring Picton to make our comic books. The website seemed a lot easier, too bad there is only a 15 day trial… So we will see how far that gets us.

We looked into probability this week for math, discussing possible vs impossible events, and how likely a situation may be. We played a few probability games to go with it, the students did not win though, so we had to complete more work. We also made surveys and created double bar graphs to represent our data.

We finished off our government unit in social studies, with a game of jeopardy and a final quiz. I feel that the students are ready for create their own governments for next week’s lessons.

In science, we continued working on our rock PowerPoint. We also praticed putting together the rock cycle. There will be a quiz next week on it!

We started working on zentangle cityscapes in art, so far they are looking pretty cool!

The fun fair was a great time, especially for those who volunteered to go into the dunk tank! I heard the water was very cold, and it’s too bad about those delayed reactions on the target… Also, it seems a lot of students had fun at the track meet, go Ruth King!

Next week we have our camp thunderbird info night on the 5th at 330. Our maturity talks with the health nurse on the 7th. We will start out country projects in social studies, and continue working on in our other subjects.

Have a good weekend!
