 Math

I can evaluate expressions using the order of operations (Gr. 6 Math)

This week, students worked on a really tricky problem called the 54321 Challenge! We used our knowledge of the order of operations (BEDMAS) to help us work through it. We had to use the digits 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 (without changing the order) and could use brackets and any of the 4 operations. We worked so hard on this and a few of us are really close to completing the challenge!

I can implement movement patterns in response to a variety of physical, verbal, visual, and musical stimuli (Gr. 6 PE and Wellness)

Thanks to a few grade 3 students who did some research and wrote persuasive letters to Mrs. Scarrow, Mr. Newman, and School Council, Andrew Sibbald now has 2 Omniken balls to use during PE! In grade 6 we invented some of our own games and tested out the large ball. We were also visited by the grade 3 students who shared some additional game ideas with us; we look forward to giving them a whirl in the weeks to come!
