We're Going On TWO More Field Trips! :)

Hooray! We are excited to announce that we have the chance to take TWO more field trips before the end of the year! Information letters and permission forms were sent home today (Thursday) and are due back to the school no later than Friday, June 17. 

The cost for both trips.... 0$! We are very fortunate to have the school covering all field trip costs for us this year! :)

Field Trip 1 (Tuesday, June 21): Manitoba Museum and Winnipeg General Strike Walking Tour!

Field Trip 2 (Tuesday, June 28): The Hockey Sweater at Rainbow Stage!

The Grade 6 teacher team has worked hard to put these fun, educational outings together and we can't wait to spend the days learning together! :)

Happy Tuesday!

Hello friends!

We were small but mighty in number today as 9 of our classmates were off representing our school at the divisional track meet! From what we've heard so far, École Ness is making a great showing! We can't wait to congratulate and celebrate everyone's successes when we're all back together!

We started our day in randomized groups at the white board drawing different ratios of animals, shoes, cats and dogs. Who knew that Math could be so artistic?!

We then took some Français-music-listening time before working on another Math task: rapport motifs using online pattern blocks! Using an online site, we were tasked with created a motif using at least 20 blocks or four different varieties. Once our motif was designed, we wrote 6 different ratios that could be found within our motif masterpieces.

Stay tuned to the blog to see the finished products posted! :)

Music Monday!

Hello! Happy Monday!

Today in Français we started a musical task - exploring francophone music! Using the site Ohdio we had the chance to listen to different, new-to-us genres and find some catchy, calming, upbeat, powerful, silly tunes!

Please ask me about what genres I chose to explore. What artists did I discover? Do I possibly have a new favourite song?

Music genres and an upcoming science assessment

Hello! Happy Wednesday!

Today in Français we shared our favourite music genre in groups of three. We needed to provide a specific example of why and include at least 2 adjectives in our answer.

Next up, is choosing our least favourite music genre and explaining why. This will be a written task that we'll work on over the coming couple of classes. Please ask me: what music genre did I choose to write about? Why did I choose it? What adjectives am I thinking of using to explain why I dislike it?
