Track & Field Day


Today was Track & Field Day! Grade 6s were active at the park participating in shot put, triple jump, and the 100 m dash. We then headed back to school for lunch.






 

We were very productive and used the time after lunch to have a discussion about chapter 5 of Number the Stars, read chapter 6, and then have a discussion about chapter 6.

We even got started on our next and final math unit – Probability. Students used words such as certain, likely, impossible, unlikely, possible, etc. to describe events. We discussed experimental and theoretical probabilities. We conducted an experiment using 3 paper bags with different, unknown proportions of blue and yellow counters. We repeated the experiment 10 times for each bag, recorded the results, and wrote experimental probabilities for the outcomes. We used a graph to do the same with theoretical probabilities. We did not do the practice questions today – we will use class time to do this tomorrow.

We then headed back to the park where Grade 6s completed the running long jump, 400 m, 800 m, and 200 m events.

 

Back at school, we heard that Jasleen, Temi, and Zachary have been selected to participate in a Track & Field Day at The Maples Academy tomorrow. Well done to all Grade 6s for their participation and for a productive day!
