I cannot believe how fast this year has flown by! We are officially two weeks out from our first Provincial Achievement Test. On May 8th we will be writing our LA part A in which the students will be writing a narrative story based off a picture prompt and an article based off an event in the past. We have been practicing story writing all year and we are wrapping up our news articles this week. Next week we will be practicing writing both a story and article in one go at least twice.
I will be giving feedback to the students to help them write their next articles before the end of the week!

In math we began one of my favorite units! PERIMETER AREA VOLUME!

Today we began with perimeter, Students need to understand that perimeter is a one dimensional measurement of the distance around an object or shape.

Math antics: Perimeter explained!

In Social this week we are exploring the structure of government within Ancient Athens!
Today we explored the assembly and how Athens began as a direct democracy. 6000 Athenian born men meeting to discuss war, laws and religion. Can you imagine if we had all the students come together to discuss and vote on a huge decision? Wow! It would be a site to see!

Have a great evening everyone!
