This morning we had a presentation from Mad Science, which taught us about Radical Robots. Students were able to work in groups and program a robot to find its way through a maze.
Here are some photos of students programming their bee bots:

May 16th
Tomorrow is the day of our school play, James and the Giant Peach. The senior choir and the junior high drama students have been doing a great job of preparing for this play!
During French class today, we played some games as a class to practice our colours and clothing in French. Here is a link to the website we used, so your students can play more games: http://www.digitaldialects.com/French.htm

In our Electricity unit in Science, we learned today how to read a household electric meter. Ask your child to show you the meter on your house, and see if they can remember how to tell how many kilowatt hours (kWh) are being used in your home!
Remember that as your child studies for the Religion Achievement Test, which will take place on May 30th and 31st, he or she remembers to return their achievement test duo-tang to school every day. As we continue to review the content, it is imperative that each student has their duo-tang in class so they can mark off the correct answers.

May 15th Update
I hope that everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday.
Today was our final C.T.F. class for the year. Be sure to ask your child what they liked best about their term 3 C.T.F. option!
Just a reminder that there will be no school on Friday, May 19th OR on Victoria Day - Monday, May 22nd. I hope that everyone is able to enjoy the 4 day weekend!
In Math class today we started our Measurement unit. Students' homework tonight was page 124-125 #1-5, 10-13 in their textbook. Tomorrow we will go through an answer these questions.
Students also took home their Religion Achievement test duo-tang to review. In class, we have completed the Profession of Faith section, and most of the Celebration of the Christian Mystery section. Tomorrow we will complete the Celebration of the Christian Mystery, and begin the Responding to Scripture booklet.

May 8th Update
I can't believe we are already into the month of May! Time is certainly flying by.
This week we have our Fractions and Decimals Unit Test on Wednesday the 10th. Here is a copy of the study guide:
- Equivalent fractions
- Comparing fractions with like and unlike numerators and denominators
- Ordering decimals and fractions from greatest to least
- Writing fractions as decimals
- Writing decimals as fractions
- Adding and subtracting decimals
- Representing decimals and fractions on a grid
Some important sections to review in your workbooks are:
- Pages 68-73
- Pages 76-79
- Pages 86-91
Though you should have completed each page in between, our primary focus for the test will be on the pages listed here.
Today students took home their Social Studies test on the Canadian Shield. Please sign and return this test by Friday, May 12th.
We have started our new Demonstration of Learning (D.O.L.) in Religion, which focuses on the sacraments of initiation. As we have already spent a lot of time learning about the Eucharist, and the role of the Last Supper, students have been asked to choose either Baptism of Confirmation to present in their D.O.L.
For this assignment, students may choose between 4 different formats:
1. Postcard
2. Written Report
3. Collage
4. Word Search
Regardless of which method students choose to present, they MUST include all parts of the assignment, as per the assignment sheet they have been given. For example, even if students choose to create a word search, they must also provide a written component, that demonstrates their understanding of their chosen sacrament.
This D.O.L. will not be due until the beginning of June.
We also have our Religion Achievement test coming up on May 30th and 31st. This is a 2 part exam, consisting mostly of multiple choice questions.
In addition to the multiple choice, there is a written component, which resembles a miniature D.O.L. Students must discuss the message of a given topic, and relate it to their daily lives.
