Formulas


As part of our fundraising games, students from JK to Grade 10 formed teams and competed against other houses to draw the best ice-cream sundae. Well done to Zeta for winning this game. Fundraising continues all next week.

In math we continued with learning about perimeter and how to use formulas to calculate perimeter and area. Students examined the effect of doubling one side of a rectangle and both sides of a rectangle on the total area. Students are asked to complete practice questions on page 348 & 349 of the MMS textbook. Look out for math tests coming home today. Please take time to review, sign, and return the test.

During inquiry time, students continued working on conducting their surveys, composing their interview questions, creating a slideshow, planning their display boards, editing their French component, and working on their art piece. Students who did not complete the minimum amount of work had to stay in during recesses and gym to get caught up.

14 School Days Till Exhibition 

All groups must bring in their art supplies and display boards on Monday. Grade 6s will be surveying parents in the morning and afternoons from Monday to Wednesday next week.

Grade 6s had French and Gym class today.
