I am sorry the volume is not great in the video. If you have any photos of the play, would you mind sharing them with me? Please feel free to email them to me at lorie.hamilton@ocdsb.ca

We were fortunate enough to be invited to Mme. Annabelle's grade 3 class to look at the bridges they built. Our grade 3s will be doing a similar activity next week to wrap up their unit on structures.
Here are just a few of their bridges. Discuss with your child about what made these bridged strong and stable.
We had computer training again this week with Mrs. Toxopeus. We worked with the Google extension Equatio, a math-based application.
What we learned this week:
Language:
We started to work on our poetry unit. We learned about acrostic poems, alphabet poems, colour poems, 5 senses poems. More next week!!
Math:
We continued with probability. We even played Bean Boozled!!
Unfortunately, most of the class ended up with the bad jelly beans. Yuck!!
Science:
The grade 3s explored the 4 different types of bridges. We also had a challenge. Students were given 30 cups. They were asked to build the tallest structures they could without having to support their structure. They were very creative and came up with many ways to build a tall tower.
The grade 2 students who missed out on our lever exercise completed it this week. We also looked at wedges, such as our teeth and a nail. Please ask your child to explain what they learned about levers.
Books we read this week:
