We continued our focus on decimals last week in Math, relating them toreal life situations. We will carry onour work with decimals linking the place value to the value of money.
In Health last week we continued our journey through the digestive system, watching a video which showed the process of digestion in a silly way! The students really enjoyed the story! Next up, we will be looking at the urinary track, its organs and functions.
Last week in French we practiced our animal vocab with some listening exercises and this week we will continue to work towards creating the ultimate class logo!
In Religion last week we learned about forgiveness and taking responsibility for our decisions in "Joseph and his Brothers".
Next in Social Studies we will be looking at how human interaction shapes the earth. Following this will be a study of Canada’s regions, populations, government and symbols.
Last week in Science we had ‘good vibrations’ when we completed an experiment to find out where sound really comes from. This week we will look at pitch and compare animal’s hearing to that of human’s.
This week in art we will be creating Irish Flag decorations for the Spring Concert.
