Multiplication War

In math we are trying to learn our multiplication facts. So, we are playing a math card game. It is called multiplication war. It’s just like normal war except you take out the kings, queens and the jacks, and ace is one. Instead of just putting one card down, you put down two cards and multiply them. The player with the highest product gets all four cards. If you get the same product, you place three more cards face down and then place two more cards and multiply them. Whoever gets the highest product gets all the cards. It’s a fun way to practice our facts! – By: Brooke

 

 

T.W.A.S.

This week at school we did a science project! It was a weather vane, we could only use manila paper,1 meter of masking tape, a wooden dowel, 4 pins, clay, 4 straws, scissors, a ruler and a pencil. It was a group project. Keanna, Braelyn and Alyssa are in my group. We used our clay as our base. Then we taped the directions North, East, South, West. Then we put our arrow on and we put the tape on and made it so no side was sticky so we could attach it to the arrow so it would spin. The arrow had to face into the wind. The wind was Mrs. Tresoor`s blow dryer. The first time we went up it did not spin then we made a few changes and then we went up again and then it did not work so we had to change our idea. Then when I went up again it worked because we put a pin in the middle of the straw and put paper in with the clay. Our sky diving name was sky zone weather drop.

This week at school we did peace art. It was a dove. We had to colour around our finger and make bigger and bigger circles. Then we were done and we had to put what peace smell like feels like and tastes like. For peace tastes like I put peace tastes like fresh homemade sushi!

This week at school we did I.B.L. I am researching water spouts. Mrs.Dent Scarcello and Mrs Tresoor teach us I.B.L. I find mostly all of my information in books. I found a little amount in websites. I am really excited for our finished project. For our final project Mrs. Dent Scarcello showed us a website that makes online flyers. It is called Smore. I don’t think I will use it because I want to see more options.

Next week I am really excited for the volleyball tournament on Monday!

Design Projects

We have being working on a design project. We worked in groups to make a weather vane. My group was Anna, Alyssa, Braelyn and I. The first time we tested it the arrow pointed the opposite way the wind was coming from. We used a blow dryer as the wind. The wind or the blow dryer would go at two different speeds, one wasn’t that strong, and the other one is stronger. We only got to use special materiel’s like, one wooden dowel , one meter of masking tape, one chunk of plasticine , four straight pins, a ruler, four straws, one piece of manila tag paper, scissors, markers, and a pencil. Our group tested at least four times. All we needed to do was put a circle at the end of one straw and then it was stable and the right end was pointing the right way. I enjoyed making the project with my group. I cant wait for the next design project! By, Keanna

Remembrance Day Service



Papa Jack and his medals

Papa Jack, me and Grandma Lois

Today we had our Remembrance Day service. It was about a half hour long and very good. The choirs sang songs like Sing a song of peace and may peace reign forever and we listened to a song called pittance of time. I think that was one of the best songs in the service. One of the other things that happened was a lady representing the Canadian legion spoke about how the poppy came to be a symbol of Remembrance Day.

After the assembly my grandparents came to the classroom. They talked about where my grandpa went during the war. The class asked questions and they answered them. It was nice to have them come by. The men and women that served in the military should always be remembered.

We Scare Hunger and Unicef

The SPIN Club helped to organize the We Scare Hunger Campaign for Free the Children. Students were asked to bring in non-perishable food items for Winnipeg Harvest. Today the members helped to weigh the items and we were thrilled to find out that our total was 477 pounds(216 kilograms)! WOW! Thanks to the BHS community for supporting this great cause. The items are being picked up on Thursday, November 7 by Winnipeg Harvest.
Our class raised $194.55 for Unicef. Way to go Room 30!! We reached and surpassed our goal of $100. Our school brought in $2 406.36 --- awesome results.

Hailey completes her T.W.A.S. using SymWriter. Here she is busy at work. Hailey had a lot to write about even though it was just a four day week. She enjoys spending time with her class buddy each day. Her daily weather reports remind us that it is getting cold outside. Thanks for sharing your T.W.A.S. Hailey!
