The MYP students are putting together a used winter clothing drive for Syrian Refugee families living in Mississauga. We are asking for gently used winter gear such as hats, mitts, snow pants, boots, coats, scarves, etc. The clothing drive will run from October 27 until November 18.

Today was a fun day. We began with music and French and then headed to our classroom for some experiments. Then we worked on our Halloween booklets, which contained word searches, math worksheets, crosswords, word scrambles, and fill in the blanks. We also had time for a small party where students were able to hand out treats. We ended our day with a stellar dance party.

Unit of Inquiry:

Today we got together once again with Ms. Schwarz’s grade 4’s to do some pitch experiments. We used different kinds of string to make pitch waves and we used a glass filled with water. We found out that pitch is how low or high and sound is. Through our experiments we found out that the faster an object vibrates the higher the pitch is and the slower an object vibrates the lower the pitch is. Low pitch has big, long waves and high pitches have small, quick waves.

Homework –

Have a safe and fun Halloween! Happy trick or treating!!
