Day 4
We had a
relaxing Friday.
Grade 6s
began their day attending music. We had a bit of extra music time where we showed
Mr. Oliver our Christmas song. He gave us some advice to improve our
performance. Students are bringing their words home with them. They are asked
to practice the song with proper and clear enunciation. The link below will
help them with the melody.
We did not
have math today and there is no math homework assigned for the weekend.
Students will be writing the Data Measurement test on Tuesday, December 20 or
on Wednesday, December 21, depending on how long it takes us to complete the
review work.
In our first
session of UOI time, we related flying machines to art. Our papier mache balloons
have dried. To turn them into hot air balloons, we needed a clear canvas to
begin with. Students painted their balloons white. They then looked up hot air
balloons on the internet for design ideas.
They then
attended French class with Mme. Stella.
After French
students sketched their design onto their canvas and began painting. It was a
messy activity but not as messy as yesterday.
Students
attended gym class today.
Students are
asked to complete their Air Mind Map for homework using the criteria they
generated yesterday. The mind map is due on Monday.
-use curved
lines (apparently our brains prefer this)
-pictures
(they represent a 1000 words to our brains)
-neatness
-bright
colours (our brains are stimulated by this)
-include the
experiments we did that demonstrate the properties of air
-information
must be accurate
-use key
words
-summarise
your notes
-use bold
titles
Students
will then use the mind map to study for a test on the properties of air. This
test will be written on Thursday, December 15.
Remember to
return reregistration packages.
