A week of learning.

Our recent learning

UOI

This week we worked on our summative assessment for this unit. We were assigned to present 5 slides in 3 minutes about our chosen scientist and also about a scientific principle the scientist discovered. We weren’t allowed to write much in our slides. The majority of the information was memorized. We worked on it for two days, Wednesday and Thursday and we presented it on friday. We needed to explain a scientific principle and how it works. We also needed to show what can be concluded from this and how it challenged people’s beliefs .

Math

In math we started to do some PARENTHESES equations and we are also doing decimal division. Most of us are on our second math book now. We started liters, kilometers and kilograms and we converted them to deciliter, milliliter meters, centimeters, millimeters and grams, etc. And we got equations to solve. Some of the questions were easy and some were hard.

Writing

In writing we wrote about a scientist. Some people researched on scientists like Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking, Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton (etc). We learned how to write very interesting. introduction that makes the reader want to read further. We learned that asking question in the story is a way to make the reader think more about the We shared them with Ms.Lou’s class and we got comments and compliments.

Library in Class

Because some people from our class don’t borrow books as much, Ms.Rachel the librarian brought us plenty of books from the library so that we could chose a library book to borrow. She got books that were funny, long and she even got grade 5 picture books. All the book looked interesting. Some people borrowed many books.

P.e (Football!!)

In pe we played football at the field to practice for yapp football.For warm up we played a game where we would have to dribble the ball to the other side without the person that is it takes your ball. . After the warm up, we were ready to play and we played a fun game. Some people were practicing dribbling and shooting when the other team is playing a game.

This Week’s Learning

Writing with Ms. Lynn

This week we had to choose a scientist to research about, like Galileo Galilei with Ms. Lynn. Ms. Lynn gave us a planning sheet so we can have a better understanding on what we are going to do in UOI that is slightly similar. We needed to watch some videos related to the scientist and write the crucial facts that we think are important on the sheet that she gave us. We could also just read facts about the scientist we chose on different websites.

                                                            UOI

This week in UOI grade 5 students mainly focused on experiments and famous scientists.

We mainly studied on those things because we will have an experiment day on Thursday and we will also have a summative assessment on Friday afternoon this week. We also had chose a famous scientist and research about him/her. We then needed to connect what they did to our lines of inquiry like what did that scientist create and how it affected others. On Wednesday, we prepared our science experiments for Science Thursday. We also did a google slide about a scientist we chose.

Reading

This week Grade 5 started  DRA. For DRA we needed to summarize about the book the teacher chose for us by our reading level. We also had to talk about a book we chose. We also did an Imovie talking about our favorite book and why it is good.

Our goal for this week is to complete our Literacy Circles book. We also did a Flip Grid talking about our literacy circles book and why it is good and why recommend it.

                                                        

                                                           

Maths

The Maths this week was about parenthesis and brackets. We also did a word problem using parenthesis to solve the problem. We also worked on the plastic problem cards and after that we did a problem solving sheet that had 4 equations and if we finish that there is an exit ticket. After we finish the exit ticket, We can play some math games like Decimal Dynamo and get to the finish line.

Grade 5 Science day

On thursday, all of grade 5 gathered and got into groups of 6. We took turns to show each other science experiments.The groups were sorted by class and what color paper we had. For example, white indicates 1 and yellow represents 2 experiments. We did at least 6 experiments. After we got sorted in our groups we got ready for fun. We saw loads of different kinds of experiments that had a variety of ways to express different scientific principles. We saw coke bottles exploding, fire tricks and much more. Each science experiment showed at least 1 scientific principle

G5 ATLS- Approaches to learning

In Grade 5 we have activities each week on Friday that is called G5 ATLS ( Approaches to learning). The purpose of doing this is to boost our understanding so it can help us prepare for the Grade 5 Exhibition. We have loads of activities like drama and how to spot fake news. We go to different places and classrooms to practise different activities until we start the Grade 5 exhibition.
