We had a
great day at the soccer tournament today. The SJA team’s playing was
spectacular. We were sorry we had to leave and go back to school. The whole
class wanted to stay and watch the final game.
Back at
school we had lunch then got straight to work. There was a lot to do. Students
had to start the testing of their planes from scratch again. We did this in the
auditorium. Once they recorded the data, they calculated the average distance
traveled and graphed this information. They looked for patterns and concluded
by rejecting or accepting their hypothesis. Students then reflected on how they
can apply this learning to other situations. Once this was done students were
free to head to the house game which took place at the end of the day. A number
of students did not get to attend the house game as they needed extra time to
finish up their flight report.
Our Air Show
takes place tomorrow. Students are asked to apply their learning through this
unit and the final investigation and build a paper plane that flies far to
enter in the Air Show tomorrow.
Students are
asked to work on the paper basket for their hot air balloon. They are asked to
get as far as they can independently at home and to return their baskets to
school tomorrow.
This week is
Spirit Week. Students are asked to come dressed in sports t-shirts and/or gear
for tomorrow’s Sport’s Day.
Ms.
Roe-Etter will be presenting an information session on the Diploma Programme
(DP), this Thursday, March 8th at 7 pm.
