Day of Play!

 Room 18 had a fun day of play!

Fraction Fun!

 This morning students took a look at the flags of the world to find those divided into halves, thirds or quarters.

From the French Department...

 In Français, we are starting C.F.O.O. 

(Le Club Fabuleux des Orateurs et Oratrices)! 

This is a public speaking "club" that will help students improve their oral French skills through short presentations.
There are nine different presentations, separated into three categories: Research, Opinion and Creativity.

For the first presentation, students must choose one of the three Opinion options. They will then prepare their short oral presentation, fulfilling all of the criteria listed on the page they have in their binder.

For Je préfère, students name and explain five of their favorite things.

For Je déteste, students name and explain five things they dislike.

For J'aimerais, students choose a Would you Rather type of question and explain what their choice would be.

Students should also keep in mind eye contact, volume and expression during their speech. They should be sure to speak only in French and try to add a piece of themselves into their presentation.

The first CFOO presentation will take place on 

Wednesday, December 5th.

En français...

 Students wrote poems about peace by creatively using their five senses.

What beautiful work!

 

In Flanders Fields

 Students created a mosaic artwork inspired by the poem In Flanders Fields.

What beautiful representations!

Science Projects!

 Students had the chance to share their Science Design Process Projects this afternoon.

What terrific work!

Remembrance Day

 Students presented at the Remembrance Day Ceremony this morning. They sang two songs and recited the poem In Flanders Fields. 

In addition, they had the chance to hear from our guest speaker Captain Reid.

Room 18 learned more about Indigenous Remembrance Day and the artwork created to recognize Chief Joseph Dreaver. They'll be sharing what they learned with you at home.

Students,

How will you observe Remembrance Day this year?

You could wear a poppy.

You could thank a veteran.

You could observe a moment of silence.

You could attend a ceremony.

You could learn more about the war.

You could remember.

From the Science Department...

 It’s time for the first science design process of the year! 

Students must create a food web poster. 

This project should not cost anything and should be completed by the student at home.

 Here are the criteria for the project:

The poster must have:

*a background showing the habitat

*all the animals given on the habitat information sheet (with their image and their name)

*arrows showing the transfer of energy within the food web

(for example: mouse -> owl)       

*the table showing the category of each component

 

The poster should be organized in a way that makes sense and should be pleasing to the eye.

Students may colour, draw, paint, or glue on pictures.

This project is due November 13th.

 

Happy Pajama Day!
