Home Learning Update

Posted: November 3, 2021

Hello all 5/6M families. I hope everyone is doing well during these most unusual of times. I continue to do Teams calls regularly each day for math and science class, and I would encourage all students to attend as often as possible to keep up with new learning material.

Also, I have been posting content that we have discussed during our virtual classes and some work and activities on the math and science Teams. So even students who have not been joining our class calls can still engage with current work and activities along with continuing to work on the home learning packets. To clarify, I am still expecting work that I am posting to be completed while at home. 

Here are some things I have posted on our Teams sites that all students can be working on:

 

Math - 

1. Textbook questions *grade 5* (pg. 74-75 #1,6,8 and pg. 78 #1,2,3). Pictures of the textbook are attached below. 

2. Textbook questions *grade 6* (pg. 8-9 #1,2,4,5). Pictures of the textbook are attached below. 

3. Halloween math challenge. Picture is attached below. 

4. Estimate and then measure the total length (in centimetres) of all your Halloween treats put together to form a chain. 

5. Outdoor "rock and roll numeracy" activity. Picture is attached below. I would love to see pictures of your rock mandala designs!

 

Science -

1. Questions about the heart. Word document is attached below. The document can be submitted on Teams under the 'assignments' section. 

2. Invent, draw, and describe your own device to help with a heart that is not functioning properly. A picture of your device can be submitted on Teams under the 'assignments' section.
