Good
afternoon everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful night.
Monday is a Day 1 (gym). We will be rehearsing at the dome for our Arts’ Night
performance on Tuesday, April 30th and Thursday, May 2nd.
We will be leaving the school promptly at 9:00 AM, so please do not be late.
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.
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.

Last Day of School and Promotion Ceremony
Unit of Inquiry
Today
we presented our UOI summatives, our podcasts. Due to the length of some of the
podcasts, we will be continuing them on Monday.
Our
final unit of the year will be about coding. All students will be required
to have a working laptop, not device, for this unit. They will be expected
to bring it to school each and every day. Students will also be expected
have their own email account. A Gmail account is preferred, as we can easily
share our projects. Our coding unit begin on Monday, April 29th.
HOMEWORK
-Those
who have not presented, will present on Monday

you can, please email me your video and script
Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today,
we spent our day reviewing a few rules for transformations and taking up the
‘Bonus’ worksheet. I feel that many of the students are much more comfortable
with transformations, rotations in particular, so on Monday we will move on.
Due to the activities taking place at the school, the Grade 5s are at different
points in math. We hope at some point to align again.
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.).

Inquiry into Language
Today
we wrote our spelling test for lesson #28. I will send home on Monday. We also visited our reading buddies! We will
be sharing our last Hatchet role on Monday.
Hatchet Literature Circle - This time we have added two other roles. There will
no be a summariser, connector, literary critic, discussion moderator, and word
wizard. Each week students will individually read the assigned chapters and
complete their role in class. At the end of the week each group will come
together and share with their group.
The groups
(for sharing) – all work will be done independently:
Group 1 – Vishva, Aarnav, Div, Aanika,
and Joshua
Group 2 – Ronit, Emana, Manny, Liliana,
and Himmat
Group 3 – Mitansh, Jasmeet, Munira,
Chesley, and Elina
Group 4 – Eva, Rajan and Willem
Due dates:
Chapters 1-3 due Friday, March 29th
Chapters 4-6 due Friday, April 5th
Chapters 7-9 due Friday, April 12th
Chapters 10-12 due Wednesday, April 17th
Chapters 13-15 due Monday, April 29th
Chapters 16-19 will be a culminating
activity with due date to be announced.
