Hello everyone,
We are coming to the end of the space portion of our inquiry. Most students have now completed a planet fact sheet, created a space travel company, designed a space aircraft, made a business logo, a business slogan, and are about to start work on a business advertisement. As well, most students have completed a 5 paragraph narrative science fiction story.
We are going to spend some time over the next few days investigating the history of space travel. Students will gather information on one event from history and write an newspaper article about the event.
Next week we will start the flight portion of this inquiry. This will involve some experimentation, some research, and culminate in the students building some kind of rocket.
In the next few weeks we will do an experiment that involves creating and testing wing shapes. This inquiry will require large pieces of cardboard. If you have any cardboard that we could use please send it to school.
The grade 6 students have a math unit test on geometry next week. They will also participate in the grade 6 common math assessment set out by our division. We have a practice test that we will work through before the real test. This will all take place over the next few weeks.
Have a great night everyone,
Ms. Gallays
