Tuesday April 3rd 2018

Hello,

Here is what we did today.

Math: We did our quiz today. Once everyone has completed the test I will hand them back.
Music: Please see Mr. Oliver's blog for more information. 
Language: We finished off our math quiz then did easter shape poems! We talked about the differences between how we write sentences in a poem vs a story. Poetry sentences are shorter and involve less words and more description. They did really well! I am so impressed with how far their descriptive writing has improved! They are out in the hallway now so take a look!

Lunch/Recess

Gym: Please see Mr. B's blog for more information.
Language: We finished off our poems.
UOI: We talked about increasing and decreasing friction. We watched a video

Next we  answered some questions in rotation on chart papers! Here is what we figured out:


What things are done at our school to make travelling safer in the winter?
·            Put salt down to increase friction
·            Snow plows take the snow away to increase friction
·            Boots with more grip to increase friction

What types of weather causes friction to increase and decrease?
·            Increase
o   Hail
o   Sun makes the snow melt and makes the tarmac bumpy
·            Decrease
o   Rain
o   Snow
o   Ice

Why might cars skid on icy roads?
·            Less friction on the road so they slid

Why do skiers and skateboarders put wax on their skis and skateboards?
·            To decrease friction and cause them to slid better



Lunch/Recess

French: Please see Mme. Stella's blog for more information.

Have a good night!
