In math this week students continued to work on geometry skills. Students wrote a quiz on Tuesday that went home to be signed. We also watched a video on symmetry in Islamic art at this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg1NpMmPv48. Students then created their own designs using a compass and a ruler. Grade 6's also learned how to create triangles, given side lengths, using a compass.
In science the grade fives learned about the brain, while the grade sixes learned about biodiversity. In art students created watercolour paintings of birch trees in winter. In drama the grade 5's practised and presented the play version of "Gifts of the Magi," while the grade 6's presented, "A Christmas Carol."
