The Air Show

We spent most of our time together working on our flight summative task today. In the morning, students who had not finished up graphing their results worked on this. Once graphing was done, it was time to analyze the results. Based on their analysis, students made their conclusions either accepting or rejecting their hypothesis. They reflected on the experiment, discussing how the results are useful, how the investigation could be improved, and any further questions they had. They used their learning to help them decide which paper plane they would like to use in the Air Show. They prepared for the Air Show by folding the plane of their choosing.

 

Later in the day, we went outside for the Air Show. Again, we had wonderful weather and very little wind to affect the results. Students tested their planes and their throwing. They decided which direction to throw in so that their planes flew with the wind instead of against it. It was then Show Time! Well done to Divyansh, Emana, and Jaiden taking 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place respectively. Back in class, students finalised their flight reports and handed them in for marking.

 

At the end of the day we visited the book fair. Students may be coming home with wish lists today. When we returned to class, we had a very atypical day – students relaxed and read a book of their choosing.

Students attended French and math class today. In math, Ms. Joseph discussed the mid-unit review with the class. They practiced addition, subtraction and repeated addition of fractions. Students are reminded to show all the steps leading to the final answer. They are also reminded to find the LCM and to write the equivalent fraction before proceeding with the mathematical operation. For multiplication of a fraction with a whole number, they will multiply the numerators and keep the denominator the same as that of the fraction. Reminder – Mid-Unit Quiz on Wednesday.

Look out for Pick A Time letters coming home today. This letter provides families with the link, student ID, and Security Value to schedule appointments with teachers on our conference day, next week Thursday, December 5^th, 2019. The system will go live on Thursday, November 28^th at 10 am
