Dear Division 11 Families,<\/p>\n

We hope everyone is having a great week so far! Apologies for the late update on our learning. It\u2019s been a fun and busy week filled with exciting experiences, including two workshops: a Coding Workshop on Wednesday and a Honeybee Workshop on Thursday.<\/p>\n

We are Scientists<\/strong><\/p>\n

This week, we had the opportunity to learn about Honey Bees! Students learned about the different types of bees and their important roles within the hive. We rotated through different stations; searching for the queen bee, tasting various types of honey, participating in hands-on bee-themed activities, and even trying on real bee suits! It was a great experience that deepened our understanding of bees and the important role they play in our ecosystems.

Landforms<\/span><\/p>\n

We also started a new unit on landforms. Students explored a variety of natural landforms found on Earth. In one of the activities students used loose parts to design and build landforms, developing both their creativity and understanding of physical geography.<\/p>\n

We are Mathematicians<\/strong><\/p>\n

\nOur multiplication learning continued this week with a focus on using arrays and connecting them to real-life scenarios. Students explored how objects arranged in rows and columns can represent multiplication facts in a clear and visual way. Keep an eye out for real-life arrays at home!<\/p>\n

We are Inventors<\/strong>
\nThis week, students began brainstorming invention ideas to solve everyday problems they encounter. Over the next few weeks, students will move from planning to creating their own inventions, using a variety of materials to bring their designs to life. We\u2019re excited to see their problem-solving and design thinking skills in action as they build their creations!<\/p>\n

ADST (Applied Design, Skills, and Technologies)<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
We had a special visit from Science World, who introduced us to the world of Ozobots; tiny coding robots! Students had a blast learning the basics of programming and watching their Ozobots follow commands. It was a fun and engaging introduction to the world of robotics and digital design.<\/p>\n

We are Musicians<\/strong>
\nWith our Spring concert on the way, students had the chance to rehearse with our buddy class this week. They\u2019re working hard on their performances and we can\u2019t wait to see all their efforts come together on stage!<\/p>\n
