Yr6 Weekly Update – 12/09/16

 

How the World Works

CAMP UPDATE – WE DID IT!

The Y6’s had a very successful camping experience. We gorge walked, kayaked, experienced the high elements, slept in tents and in dorms. We had fun, got in and out of our comfort zones, hung out with old friends and made some new friends! It was a blast! Well done to all of the students for a great week and thank you to Mother Nature for the awesome weather! A truly unforgettable experience! Thank you to Asia Pacific Adventures for the great organization and thank you to Ms. Berube, Mr. Fey and Ms. Thomas for joining the Y6’s for the week!

STUDENT LEARNING

Students have completed their explanation texts to explain their choice of a current form of communication technology and/or the technology behind it, using appropriate language features and organization including a diagram.

Students are now putting together the next 2 lines of inquiry which are, societal changes as a result of communications technology and the impacts of communications technology on society. They are using this information and working in collaborative groups to explain those lines of inquiry with their app or computer program of their choice. There are some very creative displays of learning coming together.

For maths we are working on data handling by collecting, organizing, and representing statistical data. We have looked at our favorite forms of social medial as well as what our favorite activities from camp were. The students have taken that information and worked out the fractions and percentages of each. They then took their learning further and created a pie chart.

The KJS students enjoyed the KGV Food Expo on Monday December 5th. Students sampled many different foods from many different cultures based on their winter celebrations.

Y6 Party

The students in Y6 will be having and end of term party on Monday December 12th. We will have a popcorn machine for the students to enjoy, however, students are asked to bring in their own snacks and lunch for that day.
