Maths class this week focused on finding the perimeter of various shapes that have strait lines. Children learned how to use a ruler and yard stick to measure these shapes using centimetres as the unit of measure. We also explored finding the area of various rectangular shapes with the formula LxW=Area

Next week, students will be going further with perimeter by examining more complex rectangular shapes that incorporate addition and subtraction.

In English class this week, students learned all about using inverted commas to indicate direct speech in their writing. We also got the opportunity to to make our own comic strips that included direct speech.
Next week, students will be planning and writing their own opening paragraph to a personal narrative. Students will also learn what a personal narrative is and how proper paragraphs are structured. 

For OUI, students worked to finish their end of unit assessment regarding how the world changes. Students created a Google Slide show or media poster to showcase what they learned about how the atmosphere changes due to human influence and how these changes impact human life.
Next week is the start of our new unit regarding signs and symbols. Students will learn all about how people use various signs and symbols to communicate with each other.

Student homework over the weekend includes spelling practice and reading. Please make sure your child gets at least 10 minutes of reading in each and every day. Please remember to sign their reading journal. Let's rack up that reading milage and watch our learners find a life long pleasure in reading!
