September 27th

*Orange Shirt on Monday*

   We have had a very physical week in grade 6.  Despite the chilly weather, the students had a great day on Thursdays Track and Field event at the Foothills Athletic Park.  The students participated in the long jump, ball throw and either the 60m, 300m or 4 x 100m relay.  Thank you to Ms. Latham for all her hard work in putting this event together.

    We have been reviewing our numeracy skills this week with a look at place value, numeric, word and expanded form and adding and subtracting.  We will be having a small quiz on these concepts a week Monday (October 7th).

    In preparation for our field trip to the Apple store this upcoming Wednesday, the students have been working on writing a fractured fairytale.  Using a classic fairytale as their guide, the students need to either, write the story from a different point of view, change the role of the female character or introduce a "twist" in the storyline that fractured the events.  We will be learning to animate these stories using the Apple Keynote application next week.

Have a great weekend,
Mr. Spriggs

This week in grade 6

This week we have been working on building our research skills and how to check for credible sources, especially on the internet.  The students learned that finding two or more sources that corroborate the information increases the likelihood that the facts are true.  The students also worked on gathering quotes, paraphrasing and summarizing information from a newspaper article. 

     We concluded the first part of our Patterns and Algebra unit with a quiz covering all of the lessons we have completed so far.  This quiz will be marked and returned early next week and we ask that you sign it and return it back to school.

     The students have been creating Federal, Provincial and Local Bylaws this week as part of our local government unit.  The entire class came up with three laws for our "country" and in groups of two cities created three provincial laws and then three bylaws for their cities.  Next week we will be looking at how taxes are collected to pay for all of the services (police, transit, garbage/ recycling, etc), provided by local governments.

Have a great weekend!
Mr. Spriggs

This week in Grade 6

Friday September 13, 2019

Good Afternoon Students and Parents,

We have been learning about creating a "T" table to identify a pattern and how to write a rule for a series of numbers this week (i.e 2, 6, 18 Pattern Rule: Start at 2 and multiply by 3 each time).  We also learned how variables are used in algebra and how they substitute for a number (i.e n + 5 = 8, so n = 3).  We will be having a small quiz next Thursday to check the students understanding of these concepts.

To kick off our unit on Local Government the students have been drawing their own city maps in groups of 3 or 4.  Each city needs to be aware of residential, commercial and industrial land use, and must also include essential buildings and services including schools, hospitals, public transportation, recycling/ compost facilities, etc.  Next week we will be looking at city bylaws and how property taxes are collected and used to fund city services.

In Science we will be looking at Trees and Forest.  See our website for all of the unit outcomes and the study guide. 

Have a great weekend!

Mr. Spriggs
