We had a long assembly this morning. Students were
recognised for being knowledgeable. Congratulations to Braeden for being
selected by his class mates as being a knowledgeable student and to Maria for
being selected for being knowledgeable in French. Congratulations Maria and
Braeden. Kappa hosted this morning's house game. Each house was represented
by a team of students. This team had to
participate in a relay race that included hopping, scoring a soccer goal, and
crab walking. It was very exciting to watch this race and houses cheered their
team on exuberantly. We heard that Zeta remains in the lead for the house game
despite Kappa winning 200 000 Kappa points - thanks to Mr. Monaghan's excellent
crab walking this morning.
Instead of heading
back to class, we visited Ms. Chin's grade 6 class, who were presenting their
summative projects for their inquiry unit on government. Grade 4 students
visited group displays and asked questions of the grade 6s. The grade 6s then
presented their persuasive speeches accompanied by slide shows. We all enjoyed
their presentations. Grade 4s then completed a secret ballot to vote for the
group they was most persuasive.
Back in class it was time for French.
In language, we wrote our list 15 spelling test. Tests are
coming home today. We continued working on using our senses to be descriptive
in our writing. Today we spent time generating synonyms for given words like walk (trot, skip, trudge, etc.) and
appreciated the different imagery the words caused in our minds.
In math, students worked on reviewing data management
concepts. They are bringing home the package we worked on in class today.
In arithmetic, students wrote a test.
We ended the day reading to our SK Reading Buddies. Each
grade 4 student is bringing home a copy of the a book we made with the final
story everyone wrote for their inquiry unit. We took our books to our reading
buddy time, and grade 4s read their own and their friends' stories to their
reading buddies. Look out for this book coming home today.
