Hello Parents and Div 10 Students,
Thanks for another focused work week. We are almost there! Please try to finish the year sprinting because the race is not over yet. We had another busy week at the Q!
This week we covered the following learning concepts:
Math: we started our probability unit this week. We explored the difference between theoretical probability and experimental probability. We discussed the four ways to express the probability of a favourable outcome: orally, as a fraction, as a percent and as a decimal. Lastly, we looked at organizing the number of combinations of two independent events using a tree diagram ie flipping two coins.
Important Reminder: Golf course presentations are this Monday!
LA: we've been learning how to write an essay. We spent this week talking about how to plan for an essay and the organization/format of an essay (introduction-thesis statement, supporting paragraphs and conclusion). The students practiced writing a thesis statement and introduction and built an essay map to help them write their BC First Nations essay. We also worked on our invention/advertisement.
Socials: In Socials we finished our BC First Nation note taking sessions this week. The students were presented with an essay question and they have to use their notes to help them write a five paragraph expository essay. We have been breaking down each section to show that writing an essay is a process and that it takes time.
Gym: BC soccer festival was a huge hit with our class on Wednesday. It was nice to see all the talented soccer players we have in our class. We also enjoyed challenging Mr. Mann's and Shultz's classes to some Ultimate Frisbee games!
French: learning how to write food related sentences.
Thanks for a great work week. Enjoy your weekend.
Reminder to get you bowling permission forms in. We are going bowling on Thursday. (bring appropriate footwear).
