On Tuesday, students and a teacher from G.P Vanier school visited the grade 6s to talk about the late French immersion program, which is an option for all SVS students next year. The grade 7 student spoke about how quickly they were able to learn to speak and understand french, and about many of the options and clubs available at their school. If you are interested in learning more about this program there will be an open house on February 5th (6:30pm to 7:30 pm) at G.P. Vanier School.
We have been looking at how to name, model and convert fractions this week in math. The students learned that improper fractions (12/5) can be changed to a mixed number fraction (2, 2/5), and how to convert them back. Next week we will be comparing fractions on a number line and learning how to write equivalent fractions using division and multiplication.
In groups of four, the students started the creation of their Ancient Athens board game. The students created "character cards" (Citizen, Metic, Slave, Female) and are now working on "travel cards" that will be picked up as the teams move around the game board. Categories such as chance, physical activity, memorization, consequence, and knowledge, will be randomly chosen to "level up" or "level down" their character.
Have a great weekend, and enjoy the nice weather!
Mr. Cull
