- Reading
- this week  we will be building a small simple catapult in science class to demonstrates how some of the forces work (we will have an assessment at the end of next week to bring our unit to an end)
- Please bring in any materials at home that may be useful for this assignment - i.e. paper towel roll, toilet paper roll, or any other recyclable items your group may want to use
- tomorrow in Social Studies we will be making a small card association game ( word to definition) in order to use to review for a final assessment as our Living and working in Ontario unit comes to an end

DEVOIRS

- Reading
- French homophones on google classroom (yesterday and today)
- French listening activity
- Data Management Math Test completed today - Geometry starting on Monday


Next week we will be doing a series of science experiments (similar to the scientist in the schools program we did) to refresh and to solidify the concepts before concluding out forces and movement unit by the end of term 1

In social studies, the students are creating their own community in Ontario building on the concepts we learned in class

- Reading
- Math test Data management FRIDAY - Jan 11
- Science - This week we will be making posters for our science unit on forces and movement
The students are required to write/explain what a force is, and talk about friction, gravity, magnetic and muscular forces and give examples of each. (This assignment will be done in class)

Welcome Back! I hope that everyone had a wonderful, restful and happy break!
We have about a month left in term 1 - so it will be full steam ahead for the next little while!

- Today in Science we talked about forces with contact (touch), such as friction and muscular as well as forces without contact,  such as magnetic and gravitational

We worked on the following questions in class today: If you did not finish the questions please finish them for homework tonight

1) Explique pourquoi la force de friction est une force de contact. (donne un exemple)
2) Explique pourquoi la force musculaire est une force de contact. (donne un exemple)
3) Explique pourquoi la force magnétique est une force sans contact(donne un exemple)
4) Explique pourquoi la force gravitationnelle est une force sans contact.  (donne un exemple)

- Today we all went to the library and took out new French books - Everyone should be reading daily at least 15-20 minutes on top of any homework (if possible)

- This week we will be reviewing the concepts related to Data Management such as, sorting and organizing shapes and objects, as well as reading, collecting and organizing data and displaying them in graphs and charts. We will be having our DATA MANAGEMENT TEST on FRIDAY JAN 11th
- Monday we will begin out last unit of term 1 on Geometry - where we will be comparing and sorting 2D and 3D shapes
