The Last Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday!

As part of our study of Bernoulli's Principle, we worked in teams of two to create mini water sprayers using a small paper cup, water, two straws and our own powerful breath!

It took a bit of practice, but soon enough there was water spraying everywhere! Fun!

The Last Monday!

Happy Monday!
Happy last week of school!

We started our day with the last of our Reader's Theatre presentation,
Pourquoi les moustiques bourdonnent les oreilles.

The group did a great job on their word wall and presented their plays with expression and confidence.  Félicitations! :)

Next, in Science, we spent some time learning about a Bernoulli's Principle.

We learned that a curved edge/side, such as we see on an airplane or a bird's wing, will force air to flow faster over top than underneath an object, thus creating two different zones of pressure.
This difference of pressure is what creates LIFT!

We then spent some time outside, further exploring Bernoulli's Principle. We started by comparing the shape and size of different frisbees and discussed how that might affect the flight of the disc.

We then threw the disc both right-side up and upside down to see if we could notice a difference.

We ended the morning with an action group shot!
(Mme Careen only got hit with one frisbee in the taking of these pictures!)

Have a great afternoon!

Les chansons and Q-Bitz!

Hello learning families!
We had a busy morning of learning in Room 208!

In Français, we had the chance to increase our exposure to francophone music.
Using the iPads, we scanned different QR codes posted around the classroom which brought us to different vidéoclips of well known francophone artists.
After watching the vidéoclips, we wrote down the name of the artist and song, and the subject of the video. We also shared our opinion about whether or not we liked the song and the vidéoclip. We listened to wide range of genres; everything from country to heavy metal to pop.
Please ask me about my favourite song of the day!

In Math, we took on a team QBitz challenge! Working in randomized groups of 2 or 3, we raced against other teams to be the first to recreate the pattern using our set of QBitz dice. The first 3 teams to finish earned points for their team; 10 points for first place, 5 for second place and 3 for third place. While some teams missed the score board completely (no worries, friends!) the battle for first place ended up being quite close. Félicitations to Équipe 8 who won the day with 41 points! :)

Great work today, everyone!

Bataille de l'aire

Happy Tuesday!

Today in Math, we played "Bataille de l'aire."

How to play?

1. Find graph paper, 2 dice and 2 different coloured markers and a partner.

2. Roll the dice, which will give you the dimensions of a rectangle.

3. Draw out your rectangle on the graph paper and write the area of the rectangle inside.

4. Play continues back and forth until you can no longer add rectangles.

5. Add up the total area of all your rectangles to see who wins!

(*We played this game with an 8-sided die and a 6-sided die, but it can be played with any 

combination of dice you might have).

Happy Math-ing! :)
