Good
afternoon everyone,
I hope you had a wonderful long
weekend! We definitely did. We hung around Georgetown and began some summertime
chores - gardening, setting up patio furniture, washing windows, etc. We also had our first neighbourhood BBQ, which ended earlier due to the storm that rolled through! Tomorrow is a Day 4 (music and
library – all library books are due back my May 31 – notices have been sent
home).
Thanks to E for sharing with us her essay on kindness!
Thanks to V for sharing with us the importance of not being distracted by our devices while driving!

Unit of Inquiry
Today
we began our fifth project, this time with a partner. Each pair will be
creating a two-player racing game. Each pair will need at least two sprites to
race, as well as create a track and be able to change costumes. Students will
need to create their own code, as some of the codes will not be readily
available on Scratch. This project is due Friday and is to be worked on in
class only. Please see links below to re-watch the videos shown in class today!

Inquiry into
Mathematics
Today
we began our last unit of the year – Patterns in Numbers and Geometry. Today we
focused on representing patterns. We learned three ways to do this: create a
table, write a pattern rule (Start at 2. Add 2 each time) and graph it. We see
ordered pairs again in this unit – (1, 2) where the first coordinate is the
frame number and the second coordinate is the number of tiles in a frame.
