We continued with our measurement unit in math this morning.
We took the first part of our math lesson time to complete yesterday's practice
questions. We then began today's lesson on estimating time. Students sat for a
minute to appreciate how long a minute was. Most said that a minute felt longer
than they thought it would. Students came up with 5 activities we could
complete in class. They estimated how long the activities would take to the
nearest minute. They then completed the activities and compared the actual
times taken to the estimates that were made.
In arithmetic, students worked on general review pages.
In language, we continued working on how to use
encyclopaedias to gather information. Students worked from a sample to locate information
such as: guide words, when or where a
person was born, cross references, and other information.
In our inquiry unit on forces, we reviewed the 4 types of
forces we learned about in class yesterday. We then explored the forces that
cause movement in our school. Students used a chart to record the movement that
they observed and the forces that caused the movement. Students are getting
more comfortable at identifying when there is more than one force acting on an
object. We ended our lesson by reading What is a Force? by Jacqui Baily.
