Hello parents and students,
Today, was our final speeches against the Maples. David represented the grade 5 St.Jude students. Here is the video.
He did an amazing job and we are all so proud of him. Overall, St.Jude's was the winner of the speeches, so well done everyone.
In math today, we learned all about co-ordinates. We first started with a puzzle and then we completed a lesson in their math notebook. Over the weekend, the students have to complete a mystery picture. Each student took home two levels of puzzle sheets. They have to finish one. Either over the weekend or on Tuesday. They have to colour their mystery picture using multiple art techniques, such as neatness, colour (outline), heading, variety (texture), contrast etc.
In UOI, we completed our circulatory stations today.
The BODY stations were:
Station A: The BODY World Wide (technology station)
