Periscopes

Working together was the main part of our morning. Students worked in groups to design a periscope. It took quite a bit of discussion between group members before a design could be decided on. Once consensus was reached, groups built their periscopes. This task came with many challenges - one of which was figuring out how to angle the mirrors in the cartons. The children used problem solving skills as challenges arose. Tomorrow they get to show how their periscopes work to other groups.
The children enjoyed gym with Mr. Browning, drama with Mrs. Henein and French with Mme. Stella.
In math, grade 4s practiced telling time to the minute. The grade 3s also worked on telling time to the 5 minute interval.
We ended the day working on speeches, poems, agendas and spelling. A few of the grade 3s were brave enough to read their poems to the class. The grade 4s need to decide on their speech topic today. A number of children did not get their spelling done in class. They will be bringing their spelling home to complete.

Here, finally, are some pictures from our Medieval Day.
