Battleships

Friday began with a House Game hosted by Zeta. Houses were challenged to arrange themselves in height order. This took cooperation and patience. Well done to Kappa for winning this event.

Back in class, students wrote their first spelling test of the year. Look out for spelling test books coming home today.

Grade 4s met Mme. Blanco today and enjoyed a fun French lesson with her.

In math, we used calculators to explore number patterns. Students described the patterns in the ones and tens digits. Then they had fun playing games in gym with Mr. Browning.

We continued working on writing good sentences in language and began working in our arithmetic workbook. We reviewed place value for large numbers up to 100 million.

At the end of the day we began working on our inquiry unit on urban and rural communities. Students rated their current knowledge of this topic on our Consensogram, and they are looking forward to moving their names up the number line. Students shared what they already know about this topic as well as questions they have. We will be doing some map work during this unit, and we practised using coordinates in a fun game of Battleships. What a great way to begin the weekend.
