Pitch, Roll, and Yaw

Our time together began with language time. I finished up conferences with students regarding their OWA pre-assessment task. We discussed their areas of strength and areas that need improvement. The post-assessment will be written tomorrow, Thursday, November 14^th.  Students used language time to write ‘Kindness Messages’ for Kindness Day. We have sent these to Oakwood Academy and look forward to seeing them displayed in the school. Students also worked on their Polar Expressions short story.

Incomplete science fair projects were worked on during both recesses. Students are reminded to come to school in full uniform for both science fair days – Thursday, November 14^th and Friday, November 15^th. Our judging begins at 9 am tomorrow. Don’t be late.

We continued learning about how airplanes move. Today’s focus was on the control surfaces of a plane and how these produce movements called pitch, roll, and yaw. Ask your child to explain these movements to you and to tell you which parts of a plane are responsible for causing these movements.  Students will be writing a short test on Monday, November 18^th, which will cover the four forces of flight, the parts of a plane, and the movement of planes.

 

Students had French class with Mme. Stella. They also had music and gym class today. They reviewed their geometry math unit test during math time with Ms. Joseph. Students should correct the questions and get the test signed by parents. They began working on a new unit - Fractions. They discussed comparing fractions using fraction strips and equivalent fractions. Students are expected to complete Q 1 a-d.
