Today was a resonably productive day. We are now up the chapter 21 of
The Pinballs. If students have missed any chapters they can borrow the book to take home.

| Place Value Game |
We had our second lesson on place value and looked at numbers up to a million. At the end of the written activity students played the game called Make the Number.
Following their weekly 45 minute music lesson, students read about Antonie van Leeuwenhoek and watched a clip about his life. Their homework tonight is to write up a recount. See the blog under this one for further details and the short film. Students have been taught how to use keywords when note-taking, rather than trying to write down cumbersome sentences when watching a visual text. Students can later create sentences from these keywords.
In the afternoon we had our first buddy assembly and the two grade six students who ran it did a superb job. Congratulations also to those five students in the class who received certificates. If students would like a copy of the Count on Me PhotoStory, which tracks the activities for the past two weeks, they need to bring a memory stick and it can be loaded on, along with the first PhotoStory made a week ago entitled Super Happy Fun Times.
At lunch time I worked with three boys to show them how to construct simple boxes. We will be making these in class to house our microorganism jigsaw puzzles we will be making next week.
