More Curling

Day 2

The Grade 6s class attended music with Mr. Andrei first thing this morning.

Once in our class we had UOI time. Students in their groups presented their student-led seminars on The Commonwealth, Doctors without Borders, The United Nations, Organization of American States, and La Francophonie. The class was an enthusiastic audience and participant in quizzes that followed the presentations. Well done on completing this project in a very short amount of time, Grade 6s! You did a fantastic job on developing a conceptual understanding of how Canada is connected to the world.

We had lunch and then headed out to Acton Curling Club for some fun on the ice. The Grade 6s have been working very hard and the deserved the time to relax for a change.

Once back at school we had our final novel study group meetings while we finished off our lunches.

We discussed the expectations for science fair tomorrow:

·       Wear full uniform

·       Make sure you have your engineering design portfolio and car with you

·       Go over what you will say to the judges – describe how you built and tested the car as well as any challenges you had to overcome

·       Demonstrate how the car moves and show how the switch works

·       Our class will be judged at about 12 noon tomorrow in our classroom

·       Families are invited to come see all our (and the rest of the school’s) work at 2:45 – 3:20. We will be in our classroom (room 16)

We reflected on our UOI on Canada in the World. Students described their favourite part of the unit, how they demonstrated inquiry, and how they demonstrated an IB attribute and attitude.

We spent the last few minutes of the day watching a few videos produced by students on Canada’s exports.

I am still waiting for some brochures. Please hand these in first thing tomorrow morning. I am still waiting on some groups to send me their Canada’s exports video. Students that have uploaded their video to YouTube should email me the link at mhaag@stjudesacademy.com.
