Math:
This week in Room 11 & 12 we started our Fractions unit. We have started by defining some of the important words like: Fraction, Numerator, Denominator, Equivalent, and Whole. We have also started look at equivalent fractions by using our knowledge of multiples to connect fractions together.
Science:
We have also been looking at Water Cycle this week. We learned how the water cycle starts with Evaporation (Water turning into water vapour), Transpiration (Plants "sweating" water), Condensation, (Water in the air turning into little droplets, creating clouds), Precipitation (Water falling from clouds) and Accumulation (Water collecting in lakes, rivers, underground and more.) We used this information to create these spin charts to help us remember!
Language Arts:
In Language Arts we have begun to do a deep dive on Newspaper Articles. We have learned all about the Headline, Dateline and Bylines of the articles. We have also been examining articles to find the 5 W's (who, what, where, when and why).
As we move forward in Social Studies we will be starting to examine the regions of Canada and geography associated with each region.
Physical Education:
We have also started our Volleyball unit in Physical Education, practicing our serves ensuring the correct body position, hand position, and arm movement.
