I have posted some extra math help for those who need/wish to use the extra
practice. I found a math quizzes and games site where you can test your knowledge and gain extra
practice in different areas of math. I would like everyone to try to complete
at least one quiz in Geometry and any other quizzes you wish to try.
I have also found extra practice in Geometry for you. Since we have been working on it for a few weeks now, I think this site will be useful for you to brush up on your geometry skills. There are many games for you to choose from, so choose a game and enjoy!
Since
we just finished nets in Math, I found a quiz that will test your knowledge on what you have
learned these past few weeks. I am confident you all will do great!
As
we continue our unit on Geometry, I would like all of you to complete this translations page.
It is very similar to
the work we started in class two days ago, so it shouldn’t be too hard for you. Try your
best!
As
we are in our final weeks of our Human Body unit, I wanted to introduce you to
our next unit: Earth and Space Systems. I have provided some information to get
you thinking about this new unit by finding some interesting facts (some
fiction) about the moon . You may make a list of the facts you think are
fiction if you wish.
Also, here are images showing the phases of the moon. You can click on a day to see the shape of the moon and which
phase it is in. You can also click to rotate the moon. Enjoy!
As promised
in class today, I posted a neat video on the Respiratory System that I think you will find quite interesting. Hopefully
after watching this video you will have a better understanding of how the Respiratory
System works!
I
have also found some fun quizzes on the Circulatory System. Click on the grades 5th-8th section
and test your knowledge. You may also scroll down and watch some videos on the
Circulatory system and the anatomy of the heart if you wish!
Our school-wide science fair is just over a month away! This year, our grade 7 and 8 students will be displaying their science fair projects for the school to see. We as a class will have the opportunity to walk around and observe the various display boards and experiments. The schedule will go as follows:
Kindergarten and Grade 1 & 2 classes - Monday May 28 at 9:30
Grade 3 & 4 classes - Monday May 28 at 1:30

Feel free to browse some science fair ideas to prepare yourself for what you're going to see at the Science Fair :)
Parents are welcome to the Science Fair! Please sign in at the office prior.
