Week 11

 Hello Ramsay Families, 

 Reminders: 


November 16th is picture retake day 

Conference Manager is now open to book a student conference. Please take a few moments to book a conference time for either Thursday, November 25th or Friday, November 26th.   If you require any assistance in booking, please do not hesitate to contact the office. 


On Monday, our class had the opportunity to work with Monica Ila to complete our portion of the collaborative art fence project. I have attached a few examples of student work below. We are really looking forward to seeing this project come together as a school. 

 

 

Math 

Learning Intentions: 

- I can solve problems involving whole numbers and decimal numbers. 

- I can use estimation strategies in problem-solving contexts. 


In Math this week, we continued our work with decimal numbers. Grade 5 students practiced their estimation strategies, while working on adding and subtracting decimals. They were then asked to check their answers using the inverse operation. Grade 6 students worked on multiplying decimals (2 x1), as well as by powers of 10. Next week, grade 5s will continue to practice addition and subtraction of decimals through problem-solving contexts, while grade 6s will learn how to multiply two-digit by 2-digit decimal numbers. 


Remembrance Day 

On Wednesday, November 10th, students in grades 4-6 hosted our virtual school-wide Remembrance Day ceremony.  MCs from both classes led the assembly, and they shared the history and importance of Remembrance Day. Students from each class also shared their learning and work around this important event through songs, poems and writing. Several students in grade 5/6 also individually read their written poems. Everyone did a wonderful job respectfully honouring our veterans throughout the event!  Our classroom work is now on display at the school for all students to view. 

 

 

Veteran’s Food Bank 

Thank-you so much to all the families that contributed to our Veteran’s Food Bank.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated. Before the donations are picked up next week, students in our grade 2/3 classes will be tallying the contributions so they can share the total of Ramsay student donations.

Week 17

    Math   In math this week, grade 5 students continued to complete long division processes, both with and without remainders, in order to solve problems.  Grade 6 students expanded their understanding of factors and multiples through the identification of prime and composite numbers.  Using their understanding, and strategies for determining, students created a number chart and identified all the prime and composite numbers under 100. Grade 6 students were also introduced to integers this week, and had an opportunity to both compare and order them.         Social Studies   This week in social studies, we looked at strategies for being a responsible citizen by actively and critically seeking out information from a variety of sources, and comparing perspectives on issues of importance. By reviewing online posts, students looked at two different perspectives of the same issue and experienced how their viewpoint could be shifted by onli...

  Pink Shirt Day   Anti-Bullying Day is an annual event, held in Canada and other parts of the world, where people wear a pink- coloured shirt to stand against bullying. Last Wednesday, students in grade 5/6 viewed a virtual session created by the grade 2/3 team, which had provided guidance on how to be an Upstander in situations of bullying. The students also watched a story called ‘The Invisible Boy’ and then came together as a class to determine what both inclusion and exclusion looks like , feels like , and sounds like . Individually, students then recorded a private and confidential pledge to reach out to someone in the class who may be feeling a bit ‘invisible.’             Math   In math this week, students worked on completing transformation rotations from both the vertex of a shape, as well as from a different point of rotation. Being provided with either a fractional amount, or with the degree of rotation, students rotated provided...
