It has been wonderful to see all the students again and hear about their various adventures from over the break!
In science, we have started an exciting new unit about extreme environments. Throughout the term, students will learn about the challenges of exploring locations including space, deserts, volcanoes, caves, the arctic, and the deep ocean. They will research different inventions that explorers use to allow them to travel in these challenging places. Finally, students will design their own new technological device that could help make exploring easier or safer.
We will be visiting the HR MacMillan Space Centre as part of this unit. Your son or daughter will bring home an information sheet about the field trip today.
In math, we are wrapping up our unit on transformations. Students are completing their transformation designs this week, and there will be a unit test next week. All of the information for this topic can be found in Chapter 5 of the math textbook. I will also give students a review package to work on in class and at home.
Check out some of the completed transformation designs below:
