Science

This week we have been doing a provocation for inspiration to correlate with our sky science learning. We viewed and discussed several clips from the movie 'October Sky'.   Students have been reviewing and deepening their understanding of the phases of the moon, using a variety of strategies to understand and remember new vocabulary (altitude, aphelion, asteroids, asterism) and discuss attributes of the planets. 

Math 
Students have been working on decoding a pattern with numbers and colours to determine commonalities, factors, multiples and pattern rules. See attached photo. 

Literacy/Current Events
Students read an article about the usage of drones. They have been working on using their reading comprehension skills and strategies to: summarize, ask questions, make connections and answer questions.

Reminders 

Report Cards come home tomorrow

Outdoor School Parent Information Meeting - January 23 @6:00

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

We are very excited to be taking our grade 6 students to Outdoor School at Camp Chief Hector from March 9-12, 2020. The students will spend 4 days and 3 nights participating in the ECOSchool program.  The program aims to develop environmental awareness and community building in an outdoor setting for students in grade 6.  

In preparation for this learning experience, we are pleased to welcome Chris Schmid from Camp Chief Hector to a Parent Information evening at Bridlewood on Thursday, January 23rd from 6 - 7 pm in the school gymnasium.

This is a mandatory meeting that we require at least one parent to attend as we must ensure we provide an opportunity for parents to receive all relevant information and have any questions or concerns addressed.  Students are welcome and encouraged to attend as well.  We will have you sign in and then provide you with an information package for you to take with you to prepare for this exciting learning opportunity.  

Respectfully, 

Grade 6 Team
