This week in literacy we've been looking at writing friendly and persuasive letters. We wrote a friendly letter to our student teacher, Miss Donnelly who had her last day with us yesterday. Our persuasive letter was to Mr. Williams where we wrote to him trying to persuade him to build a hockey rink, a cafeteria or allow animals in school. We're still working on crafting these letters.
Math
This week in math, we've examined properties of different polygons, specifically the triangle, rectangle and square. We went on a shape hunt and did a "shape drawing" on the computer using Smart Notebook.
Science
This week in science we've looked at how the shape of an object can impact its buoyancy. We looked a ball of plasticine and experimented with how chaining its shape can make it buoyant.
Social Studies
Using our rubrics we created last week, we've examined how Rosemont School (as a public space). We've looked features of safety, beauty and accessibility in our school.
Opera
We've had many opera practices this week. The children have been working very hard!
