Science

Second Great Lesson has started in room 10 and 11. We learned that gases, specifically oxygen, formed in the atmosphere allowing living things to develop on Earth. We explored the five earliest life forms; bacteria, sponges, seaweed, sea worms and jellyfish.  We captured these 5 different living things in our visual journals. 

Math

Friday, November 19th marked our 50th day of school.  The students played Race to 50.  By rolling a dice and using ones and tens students raced to get to the number 50!

Social Studies

In social studies, students have been identifying what groups they belong to,  and ways we belong to more than one group at the same time. Groups brainstormed and discussed in class were family, school, our city (Calgary), sports groups like hockey, swimming, dance, and gymnastics, as well, a few students identified Canada and Earth as a group we belong to. Our focus next will be how do these groups benefit us, what can help us identify different groups and communities and what our rights and responsibilities are at home, at school, and in groups and communities.
