 Blog by Mia  :)       In music class, we started recorders!      We went to the Saddledome for pink shirt day. We watched the Hitman vs the Ice.     In math we started BEDMAS, otherwise known as Order of Operations. We finished division and multiplication.  Miss Adamson has posted optional homework on the google classroom for those who want to do some extra practice over the weekend.     In social studies, we did a map challenge to answer questions. Grade 5 did the Canada map and the Grade 6 did the Athens, or more known as ancient Greece.           We started writing biographies. The Grade 5 wrote about famous Canadian people. The Grade 6 wrote about the black Canadians. That's all for this week! :) -Mia

 We have been preparing our presentations this week to share about our learning around our inquiry: Old Enough to Make a Change. Thank you so much for all the support from home in helping your child to share their learning. They did an amazing job presenting to all of the students today, sharing all their learning and taking ownership of the work that they were presenting. Thank you so much to those parents who were also able to make it out. Here are just a few pictures of our presentations today.
