Week 16 - Dec 16 - 20

We all deserve a little break, and its coming your way at the end of the week. Term 1 is in the books; your reports are in and Term 2 has begun! Here's what to expect over the next few days:

Writing: We'll learn a bit about using quality adjectives to add colour and spice to our writing. We'll complete the "Whatyamacallit" Writing task by adding a pair of dual quality adjectives to the piece you wrote last week. 

Math: We've been exploring the idea of using prime factors to help find Greatest Common Factors. Expect more practice, a little in-class crime scene investigation, and a brief check-in quizzy thingy (Fun!).

Social Studies: Your projects should be nearing the end of the research phase. Try to move on to the planning and developing stage, where your project ideas start to come together. You'll have some time to work on these projects in class this week. 

Reading: This week, we'll talk about an upcoming book review project. I'd like you to select a book before you head off on break. With a couple of weeks ahead of you, now is a perfect time to launch into your holiday read. More to come...

Most Magnficent Thing: This little project will continue this week. Be sure to arrive prepared with your needed building materials.

Term 1 reports will be available to view on Friday.

Drama performance on Monday pm.

Music performance on Tuesday pm (and evening concert!)

I'd like to go for a walk with the class on Friday morning. Parents, if you'd like to join us, I could use the help of one or two of you. Let me know if you are willing and able to spend an hour with us after 10:00 Friday.

Enjoy your week; and then enjoy your break! Next blog post in January 2025.
