Hi Families of Div. 6,<\/p>\n

It\u2019s hard to believe we\u2019ve finished term two! Students worked incredibly hard over the last few months developing new skills and \u201cbumping up\u201d old ones.<\/p>\n

Students got together in small groups and reflecting on some of the learning and experiences they had this term and first. Please see their reflections and snapshots of our learning and fun below.<\/p>\n

Buddies!<\/p>\n

By: Sayva & Emma<\/p>\n

\n

Buddies have been really fun! We have done a lot of things and here are some examples. One is Halloween. For Halloween we made board games and tiny play pieces for the board games. On halloween we did the parade with our little buddies. For winter break we went to the pancake breakfast, played \u201cmake a snow man,\u201d and made kindness lights that tell you ways to be kind with our little buddies. Throughout the term when we had nothing else to do we would read or draw with them. Last but not least we made Christmas trees out of icing ice cream cones and lots of candy! We have not changed buddies so we get to know them well over the year.<\/p>\n

LIBRARY<\/span>TERM 2)<\/span><\/p>\n

By: Amal:) and<\/span><\/span> Jo<\/span><\/span>e<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In January, (Literacy week)<\/span><\/span> we did pod reading! (<\/span><\/span>Pods<\/span><\/span> are <\/span><\/span>groups<\/span><\/span> of classes next to each other like neighbor<\/span><\/span>hoods.) <\/span><\/span>What<\/span><\/span> we did in pod reading <\/span><\/span>was that we<\/span><\/span> would pick a <\/span><\/span>book<\/span><\/span> from our classroom libraries<\/span><\/span>. Once we <\/span><\/span>picked<\/span><\/span> a book,<\/span><\/span> we <\/span><\/span>walked<\/span><\/span> out of the classroom (while <\/span><\/span>we held<\/span><\/span> our picked books)<\/span><\/span> into the pod (you can bring a pillow) <\/span><\/span>We<\/span><\/span> could go anywhere in our pod<\/span><\/span>!<\/span><\/span> We had to be really <\/span><\/span>quiet,<\/span><\/span> M<\/span><\/span>s. Holiday sai<\/span><\/span>d we were the <\/span><\/span>quietest<\/span><\/span> pod in the school! We could o<\/span><\/span>nly <\/span><\/span>read<\/span><\/span> 30 minutes, and it passed so quickly! <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In library this term,<\/span><\/span> we learned about digital literacy passwords<\/span><\/span> and privacy. Another thing we did was<\/span><\/span> picked books for our animal inquiry projects<\/span><\/span>, Ms. MacLeod helped us find books that might help us in our AIP*(<\/span><\/span>*animal inquiry project)<\/span><\/span>. A club <\/span><\/span>stundents can join is comic club<\/span><\/span>, where students who like comics make comics<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

AIP<\/span><\/p>\n

(Animal <\/span>inquiry<\/span> project)<\/span><\/p>\n

By: Shiho, Milana, Fatima, Labib<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This term, one of our biggest projects <\/span><\/span>was AIP<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span> One little project that connected to AIP<\/span><\/span> is the camouflaged animals<\/span><\/span>. W<\/span><\/span>e colored the fish, <\/span><\/span>butterflies<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>and <\/span><\/span>lizards<\/span><\/span> to match its <\/span><\/span>surroundings<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span> A<\/span><\/span>fter we were done coloring, and <\/span><\/span>sticking<\/span><\/span> the animals, we got together<\/span><\/span> with our little <\/span><\/span>buddies<\/span><\/span> and let t<\/span><\/span>hem find our animals. That is one thi<\/span><\/span>ng to use to hide or hunt. <\/span><\/span>While we made <\/span><\/span>our power<\/span><\/span>point,<\/span><\/span> we h<\/span><\/span>ad <\/span><\/span>to make a slide on our <\/span><\/span>animal<\/span><\/span> adaptation. We learned a<\/span><\/span>bout the two different ada<\/span><\/span>ptations they a<\/span><\/span>re <\/span><\/span>Structural<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>B<\/span><\/span>ehavioral<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span>Structural<\/span><\/span> is an adaptatio<\/span><\/span>n <\/span><\/span>which animals use and <\/span><\/span>is connected to t<\/span><\/span>he animals body. <\/span><\/span>Behavioural is an adaptation that <\/span><\/span>they do. <\/span><\/span>AIP is a great way to learn about animals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Try to find the hidden animals in the pictures below !<\/p>\n

Emoji Art<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I<\/span><\/span>n <\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span>rt we ma<\/span><\/span>de Emoji Art<\/span><\/span>. We<\/span><\/span> started by <\/span><\/span>designing<\/span><\/span> in <\/span><\/span>pencils<\/span><\/span> and then fine <\/span><\/span>lined<\/span><\/span> and <\/span><\/span>coloured<\/span><\/span>. In the <\/span><\/span>middle,<\/span><\/span> we put an <\/span><\/span>emoji<\/span><\/span>. We designed a face <\/span><\/span>with<\/span><\/span> things like the he<\/span><\/span>art, <\/span><\/span>eyes,<\/span><\/span> and happy <\/span><\/span>faces. We<\/span><\/span> coloured the\u00a0pattern<\/span><\/span>s in <\/span><\/span>bright <\/span><\/span>co<\/span><\/span>lours<\/span><\/span> and in black and whit<\/span><\/span>e<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span>It reminded me of<\/span><\/span> graphity murals. <\/span><\/span>I loved the vibrant <\/span><\/span>colours<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span>They were very unique.<\/span><\/span> Most of the class loved how you could make multiple designs.<\/span><\/span> It was cool and so much fun.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0In term <\/span><\/span>2 <\/span><\/span>we learned about puberty with <\/span><\/span>Madame Madaline.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We learned that during puberty you have changes in your body and mind. We learned t<\/span><\/span>hat when you grow up, you grow taller<\/span><\/span>. For <\/span><\/span>girls<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>hips grow wider and<\/span><\/span> for <\/span><\/span>boys<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> sholders also grow wider. On your face, we learned that as <\/span><\/span>we<\/span><\/span> grow <\/span><\/span>older we get acne mostly know as pimpl<\/span><\/span>es. <\/span><\/span>We also learned <\/span><\/span>how hormones work and that they send a signal to our body to start puberty! When we go through puberty we learned to <\/span><\/span>stay healthy by brushing our teeth twice everyday<\/span><\/span>, wash our faces, <\/span><\/span>and<\/span><\/span> to shower<\/span><\/span>\u00a0more often.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We learned about <\/span><\/span>how they <\/span><\/span>make \u00a0<\/span><\/span>heat<\/span><\/span> energy from wood <\/span><\/span>chips. <\/span><\/span>They burn so clean they end up with 2<\/span><\/span>% ash. <\/span><\/span>They showed us a big bin of wood <\/span><\/span>chips<\/span><\/span> too<\/span><\/span> grind it up.<\/span><\/span> They had extra tanks of<\/span><\/span>\u00a0water in case they had to clean <\/span><\/span>or fix<\/span><\/span> the wood chip <\/span><\/span>bin<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> t<\/span><\/span>he <\/span><\/span>tanks<\/span><\/span> of water <\/span><\/span>heats<\/span><\/span> up <\/span><\/span>energy<\/span><\/span>. I<\/span><\/span>t<\/span><\/span> was <\/span><\/span>really loud<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>hot<\/span><\/span> and scary on <\/span><\/span>the top when we were going down the st<\/span><\/span>airs there were holes in t<\/span><\/span>hem. It also felt anything could e<\/span><\/span>xplode at any <\/span><\/span>minute. We had to yellow lin<\/span><\/span>es for saf<\/span><\/span>ety. If you touch a bin it is very hot and you will burn yourself, you\u2019ll get a third degree burn.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Unfair Game<\/p>\n

In <\/span><\/span>the<\/span><\/span> unfair game, we played an unfair math game! This<\/span><\/span> game <\/span><\/span>as<\/span><\/span> full of emotions as we went through <\/span><\/span>disappointment<\/span><\/span>, <\/span><\/span>frustration<\/span><\/span>, and more! However, it <\/span><\/span>wasn<\/span><\/span>\u2019<\/span><\/span>t<\/span><\/span> just negative emotions, there was <\/span><\/span>also happy feelings like joy, positivity, etc. <\/span><\/span>We played by <\/span><\/span>answering \u00a0math<\/span><\/span> questions<\/span><\/span> and if you answered them correct, then the \u201cunfair\u201d<\/span><\/span>part comes in. You see, if you <\/span><\/span>get it correct, then you get to pick a card<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> some of the cards are good, and some of them are bad<\/span><\/span>. An example of a good card is <\/span><\/span>\u201c<\/span><\/span>win 10 points<\/span><\/span>\u201d<\/span><\/span> and an example of a bad card is \u201close 5 point<\/span><\/span>s\u201d the best card is \u201cearn 100 points\u201d<\/span><\/span> and the worst card is \u201dlose 15 points<\/span><\/span>“. This can lead to unfair circumstance<\/span><\/span>s. Once this term, <\/span><\/span>the team in last place managed to win by getting \u201cearn 100 points\u201d <\/span><\/span>we had so much fun playing this game.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Book Club<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In Book Club students read novels, met as a group and shared their thinking. They completed a book review and a \u201cbook in a bag\u201d after finishing their novels. Div.6 had a great time presenting their objects to their group members, seeing if they understood the symbolism behind the objects they chose. They represented their novels in creative and thoughtful ways!<\/div>\n
