Looking Back:
We have been working with Number Sense in Math and challenging each other to problem solve and find patterns and relationships. In Science we are learning about Trees and Forests: the difference between deciduous and coniferous trees, the parts of a tree and the different layers in a forest. During our field trip on Wednesday, we used different lenses (dog walker, photography, real estate developer, environmentalist, city planner, etc) to discuss the pros and cons of the natural Bowmont Park and the manufactured Birth Forest. In Humanities we have been studying the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and how the four pillars of democracy live within it.  We have been working on researching and writing skits on one of the seven categories of rights: Fundamental Freedoms, Democratic Rights, Equality Rights, Legal Rights, Mobility Rights, Official Language Rights, Collective Rights (Minority Language Education Rights, Aboriginal Rights).

Looking Forward:
Next week in Math we will begin working with numbers related to our world's population, incorporating place value and percent. In Science we will be discussing human impact on our forests.
In Humanities students will be presenting their Charter Skits for the class to guess which category they researched.
