Week 6 - Oct 10-13

Welcome to Week six - Oct 10 -13 

We have a fortnight (vocab for those grade sixers!) of short weeks followed by Halloween week.

Friday's Math Quiz on Subtraction was challenging! Retesting and reteaching will be happening this week as we begin a new unit on Prime, Composite Numbers and Factors. A brief Math quiz is planned for Friday

In English Students should be well into their work on their independent book projects. We are continuing our class study of Wonder and will be focusing on Characterization this week and Narration and Perspective next week in a responsive journal

Science - The Peripheral Nervous System, Sensory Nerves, Inter-neurons and the Spinal Cord lead to the Brain, which is our focus this week. We will continue to look at the role of the cerebrum, Cerebella and the brain stem in regulating our actions and reactions to stimulus. How can we control our reactions? 

As a Friday the 13th special, we investigate the power of Positive and Negative thinking. 

Socials - Headlines around the world and our global connections shape our IDENTITY. 

PE - BRING PE STRIP or extra clothes and shoes. We are OUTSIDE, rain or shine!! We are wrapping up our soccer unit and the competitive/divisions have been playing well. We will be missing our class on Friday the 20th but will be playing Capture the Flag with other classes as well as continue our soccer games. We are continuing our run around the world. 

Google Classroom. I have set up a Google calendar which can be accessed through the Google Classroom. All student will join the classroom by the end of this week.
