Inquiry into Language – First, we reviewed yesterday:
1. Exposition – This is where we meet the characters and learn the setting (time and place).
2. Rising Action – This is where the problem of the story is revealed.
3. Climax – This is the moment in the story where something big happens (a twist of events).
4. Falling Action – This is where the story is wrapping up & things are starting to resolve.
5. Resolution – This is the end where the problem has reached a resolution.
We started talking about what legends and fables are today. A legend is a traditional story – usually based on real events – that contains exaggerated plots. A fable is a story with only a few characters (usually animals) that conveys a moral. They are fictional.
We wrote our own fable as a class. Check it out!
French – After this, we had French with Mme. Stella, which you can read about on her blog (https://stjudesfrench-stella.blogspot.com).
Inquiry into Flight – Students worked on their projects regarding how society and the environment are affected by flying devices or vice versa.
Science Fair – We had our Grand Prix for Grade 6! Congratulations to Daniel, Divyansh, and Ahil on winning our Arrow, Speedy, and Good Looker awards!
Science Fair – At the end of the day, we opened our doors to families to come and see all of our hard work. Thank you to everyone for coming!
