Good
afternoon everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful night.
Tomorrow is a Day 3 (gym). We will be spending quite a bit of time over the
next few weeks perfecting our Wizard of Oz Arts’ Night performance, so our
alignment with the other Grade 5 classes may be off. We are trying our hardest
to ensure our students are not missing important lessons! We will be rehearsing tomorrow afternoon at the dome.
The Grade 6 Exhibition
is
fast approaching. Ms. Jaskoka’s and Mrs. Haag’s Grade 6 classes have been
working very hard on their Exhibition projects for the past few weeks. On
Friday, May 3rd, each Exhibition group will have a chance to present
their project and show off all of their hard work. Some of the topics covered
this year are homelessness, deforestation, stress, elder abuse and climate
change. We will have the opportunity to view the projects on May 3rd
from 12:00-2:00 PM. There will also be an evening viewing for all to attend.
The showing will run from 6:00-8:00 PM. This is a great opportunity to see what
most of the Grade 5s will be doing next year, when it is their turn to complete
The Grade 6 Exhibition. Please see flyer below for more information. Any families wanting to attend may attend any session!
A note from one of Mrs. Haag’s Exhibition
groups - Dear
St. Jude's families
We are two grade six students
doing an assignment in which we have to take action to make the world
a happier and better place to live in. We ask you to please sign the
online petition to support us in banning violent video games for children under
the age of 18-years-old. Thank you for your time.

Thank you to the Vaccines Exhibition group for their how game this morning!
Today we had the opportunity to view the Grade 3 plants and soil summative, where they had to re-create a flower, including labels and explaining what it needs to survive. Great job, Grade 3s.

Unit of Inquiry
Today
we finished presenting our UOI summatives. We also began our final unit of the
year, coding. We set up our Scratch accounts and played around on Scratch. I
have collected all student emails and Scratch account login information. Some parents may receive an email from Scratch with the login information.

Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we learned about line symmetry. Line symmetry divides a figure into congruent part. Reflections can be used to draw figures with one or more lines of symmetry.
Points to remember:
Transformations
Don’t
forget to include brackets around your coordinates (3, 5), the comma
between the x and y coordinates (3,
4), and the apostrophe for the prime coordinates A’. Be sure to correctly plot your coordinates and lastly, ensure
the image is the correct number of spaces away from the axis as the figure is
when doing certain transformations.
Axis – the horizontal axis
is represented by X and is the first number in the coordinates (3, 5) and the vertical axis is
represented by the Y and is the second number in the coordinates (3, 5).
Translations – slide. After a translation,
a figure and its image are congruent (same shape and same size) and they face
the same way. We say 'A prime' and write A’ when referring to the points on the
new image.
Reflections- flip. After reflections, a
figure and its image are congruent and can face opposite ways. Remember
any point and its reflection image are the same distance form the
mirror line. Remember to label each new image and use prime (') on the new
points.
Rotations - turns. After a rotation, a
figure and its image are congruent and may face different ways. If a figure
turns 360 degrees (a full turn), we will not use the prime (‘) symbol as with
the full turn it is back to the original figure.
For
any transformation, we have our original coordinates (x, y). For a 90 degree counter clockwise rotation,
the formula/rule to follow is (-y, x). For example, if our original coordinates
are (3, 5) then our new prime coordinate for our 90 degree counter clockwise
turn is (-5, 3). For an 180 degree
counter clockwise rotation, the formula/rule to follow is (-x, -y). For
example, if our original coordinates are (3, 5) then our new prime coordinate
for our 180 degree counter clockwise turn is (-3, -5). For a 270 degree counter clockwise rotation, the formula/rule to
follow is (y, -x). For example, if our original coordinates are (3, 5) then our
new prime coordinate for our 270 degree counter clockwise turn is (5, -3).
For
any transformation, we have our original coordinates (x, y). For a 90 counter clockwise rotation,
the formula/rule to follow is (y, -x). For example, if our original coordinates
are (3, 5) then our new prime coordinate for our 90 degree clockwise turn is
(5, -3). For an 180 degree clockwise
rotation, the formula/rule to follow is (-x, -y) – the same as an 180
degree counter clockwise turn. For example, if our original coordinates are (3,
5) then our new prime coordinate for our 180 degree clockwise turn is (-3, -5).
For a 270 degree clockwise rotation,
the formula/rule to follow is (-y, x). For example, if our original coordinates
are (3, 5) then our new prime coordinate for our 270 degree clockwise turn is
(-5, 3).
90
degrees is a ¼ turn, 180 degrees is a ½ turn and 270 degrees is a ¾ turn.
Clockwise follows a clock (12, 1, 2, 3, etc.) and counter clockwise goes
backwards (12, 11, 10, 9, etc.).
Congruent figures are the same shape
and size. They have the same angles and the same side lengths. Similar figures have corresponding
angels equal and the side lengths of one figure multiplied by the same number
are equal to the corresponding side lengths of the other figure.

Inquiry into Language
Today
we began learning about how to write a newspaper article. We examined an
article and made sure it met the proper requirements such as including a
heading, introduction, conclusion, and of course the 5 Ws.
