It is December already! I know, because it is dark for far too much of the day. Luckily, we are out in the portable and get to take advantage of the daylight throughout the day.
Our spelling this past week focused on contractions. We will be continuing to build on this base of knowledge over the next couple of weeks.
We also took the opportunity to add up our team spelling points as it was the end of the month. Most teams came out ahead.
We will see what happens this month with our new teams.
In science we focused on photosynthesis, learning about how plants make their own food. We also completed an experiment that showed us the chlorophyl that gives leaves their colour.
We had continued our work with patterning in math.
We can now complete, create and describe growing and shrinking number and shape patterns.
We have also worked on solving Mashup Math challenges. Can you solve these two latest ones?
In reading and writing we have been deconstructing narratives; learning about the components of the beginning, middle and end and retelling them effectively.
It was a busy week for the school as well, with Anthony Mclean in to present about anti-bullying and the Winter concert rehearsal.
I hope that you will all be able to attend on Thursday evening! Remember, students need to arrive at 6:00pm for the 6:30pm performance.
We are looking forward to another amazing week!
Ms. Sparling
