May 3 - 7, 2021

What a week! We have joined over 831 classes in CBE to participate in the Amazing Race CBE. During this leg of the race we traveled to Great Britain, the home of hopscotch. Our detour/challenge was to perform 15 sets of hopscotch as a class each day or exceed that goal. We learned the basic hopscotch, iron cross, sumo, and the snowboarder version. As a group we exceeded our goal and performed over 130 sets during the week. We were also able to do our last set on Friday in the online environment. The last task they had given us was to create a Queen's Fascinator (hat) and wave as someone walked to the office by Friday. Due to our changing environment from in-person to online learning we adapted and put on our fancy hats and practiced our wave during our Google Meet. We can hardly wait to see what our next leg of the race will be and what our challenge might be!

Measurement was the math activities and tasks for this week. We measured objects in the class with nonstandard units of measurement and for us we used a paperclip. For our standard unit we used our cm rulers. Then we took our measuring outside after making 2 different paper airplanes. We estimated how far we thought they might travel and then measured the actual distance in metres. 

  

We continued to develop our story writing as we focused on sound words and adding specific details to expand our writing. Our stories included us developing our characters and searching for the Aurora Borealis. On Thursday we shared our stories with a partner and a few of us with the whole class. 

Next week we continue with our online learning and once again we cannot thank our parents for their amazing support and time. 

Thank you to our parent council for the wonderful message on Monday morning.
