Grade 5 Term 2 Week 2

Good morning SIS families! This week in grade 5, we had an
amazing time! 


This week in math, we learned about properties of shapes.
We looked at different shapes and different angles that are
important, like right angles. We also learned about
parallelograms and quadrilaterals.



For inquiry (how we express ourselves) we have been
working on poems called haiku. We also looked at different

types of them. We drew pictures and reflected on the way
they looked included and many more. We looked up many
songs we liked and made a list of them. 
 


This week in Japanese, both Kanji Group and Kokugo Group
saw a movie called 平成狸合戦ぽんぽこ. It was about some
Tanuki, or Japanese racoons worried and angered about
buildings being placed and their forests being cut. It was a very
interesting story, with Tanuki being a shape-shifting animal.
Though, we only saw half of it, so we’re so excited for the next
time!


For P.E, we’ve been doing a unit about soccer, or football. We’ve
been learning and have been cooperating with each  other, and
mostly, we all love it! We practiced some skills and found some
of it hard! 

For ICT,  we’ve been learning syntax codes, and javascript
codes. We’ve been practicing in a website called code
combat, a very fun code game including a little of fighting,
avoiding, running, and building. It was a replacement of
grasshopper, another java code website, which we
figured out was pretty boring. When Mr.Vamiq
showed us Codecombat, we instantly had so much fun!


For Music, We’ve been practicing Aruko, From Totoro.
We first practiced with bells, and saw it was hard to
match the rhythm and going in the right timing with
others. Aruko was a memorable song which everyone
knew, so it was very easy knowing how to play, but
very hard actually playing it. Though, we had a blast!
Thank you for looking at our 2nd weeks blog! We
hope you all have a wonderful week, and we’ll see
you in the next blog!
