French Class in Room 12 and 14

French Class

In French we are currently doing objects and rooms around the school and recently doing French conversations. In our current unit we are playing games doing word searches, written work and reading and translating books. Our current project is to interview a teacher and take a picture of them and their room. After every one is done we will put it into a book. For this task we were put in partners. In our conversation unit we had to create a conversation and have a conversation with Miss. Pattie to complete the unit. Most of us used the French English dictionary and occasionally asked for help. I think most of us found the conversation unit difficult at the start and found it easier at the end.

Multiplication

Multiplication

In math we are doing long division and recently two and three digit multiplication. Miss. Pattie started us off easy in multiplication with arrays, then expanded, then almost the way our parents learned, just a little bit easier. But we were still adding right to left we just wrote it out. Now that we are into long division it is easier than most of us thought. Miss. Pattie broke it into steps so now it is just subtraction. She also taught us that multiplication could help us with our division. I think most of us found multiplication easier. We hope Miss. Pattie makes our other math this easy to understand.

Theme Studies in Room 12 - First Peoples of Canada

Theme Studies in Room 12 - First Peoples of Canada

In theme this term we have been learning all about the first peoples of Canada. We mixed our smarts and knowledge together. A lot of our smarts were art or kinesthetic so we made a diorama about what we know. This was difficult for some of us and easier for others. At the start of term we were working in our table groups doing aboriginal games making murals and doing role-plays of legends. For the second part of the term we had six individual projects that could be done any way we wanted whether it was on the computer or loose leaf or anything of the above. I think the we enjoyed the second part more because it was easier than group work. I think most of us enjoyed this term and would like to do something similar next term.
