We continued with our measurement unit in math this morning.
We reviewed all the time measures we discussed yesterday and finished off
practice questions we did not get to in class. Today's lesson was about telling
time. We reviewed the hands on an analog clock, and how long it takes them to
move from one point to another on the clock face. We practiced telling time in
different ways, example, 10:15 and quarter past 10.
In arithmetic, students continued with review work around
linear metric measures.
In language, we continued learning about using
encyclopaedias as a source of information. In today's lesson, we learned that
headings help us to skim through text to find the information we need. Students
practiced naming the appropriate heading for the information they needed. They
also worked on list 16 spelling words.
In our inquiry unit on forces, we reviewed the definitions
for a force and movement. We then read about 4 different types of force:
gravity, muscular, buoyancy, and friction. We discussed these forces in further
detail and students shared what they know about these forces. Students learned
that there is more than one type of force acting on an object at one time. We
read a book called Forces Make Things Move which helped us understand
forces further. Students answered questions to show their understanding of the
types of forces.
