Hello, again grade five families, we are back with yet another grade five blog,
this is what we have been doing currently...
On Tuesday 18th of february we celebrated Japanese Culture Day all
afternoon. We watched ninja's perform dances, battles and more with interesting
props. We had a wonderful time experiencing how ninjas perform and battle in
their everyday life.
Wednesday and Thursday, the 19th and 20th, we collaborated with grade three
to do some cool experiments. Wednesday, we did rock candy, coke and mentos
in a cup, erosions of wind and sand, explosions and more. We created a packet
to keep track of which experiments we were doing, our predictions and if it was
a physical or chemical reaction, which is what we have been learning about in
inquiry. Thursday we went outside to do the coke and mentos in a bottle this time.
As most expected, it fizzed up and exploded, sending Miss Lauren inside with
sticky coke hands.
After coming back from the last experiments, we did math about volume. We
learnt that volume isn't just how loud or quiet something is, it's also about how
much space something takes up in an area. Like if I had four units squared,
and then something took up three of those units in the square, it would take up
three units of volume in the area.
In guided reading, we have been working with grade six to make presentations
about what elements are in a nonfiction text. Some of the elements are; Title,
chart, infographics and subtitles.
Thank you for reading this blog.
Made by the students of grade five!
