Weekly Update

It was a busy week as we spent time at Spark, met our Grade 4 buddies, and ran in the Terry Fox Run.

In Math we explored the relationships between the sides of right angled triangles, and started to look for patterns through a visual problem.

In Science we are exploring the 'Impact of Machines'.  We're going to explore the direct, predictable, and intended impacts of machines by looking at how we can calculate mechanical advantage of simple machines.  We're also going to explore the interaction between societies and machines by looking at how the same job might be done in different ways with different impacts.

Today we spent a half hour reflecting on our trip to Spark yesterday.  Students needs to make sure they finish up their visual journal pages.  These pages should show what you learned, discovered, and questioned on our study yesterday.  The page should take between 30 -45 minutes, so if you used your time properly in class you may be almost done.
