SPORTS DAY!

Tomorrow afternoon is Sports Day. We will have a kick-off assembly at 1:15 followed by sports stations galore! 
Tomorrow is Sports Day at Royal Oak School. This year our theme is CANADA! Please wear your CANADA gear or Red and White. Students are asked to come prepared for the weather. Bring your hat, sunscreen, water bottle, proper footwear (no flip flops) and a light jacket. We're looking forward to a great afternoon filled with super fun activities and events!

Send an extra snack as we will have time at the end of sports day for watermelon (provided) and extra snack as needed!

PLASTIC PROBLEM

Today we continued talking about the Platic in the Ocean. We have been watching and discussing possible solutions, from multiple points of view.

Boyan Slat-The Ocean Clean-Up Prototype

We looked at how this prototype has had to be tested, redesigned and tested in order to ensure that it works properly and to find the errors so that it can be made better (just like when we are building or inventing boats or magnetic inventions or water filters!)

We have also been looking at plastic alternatives as a solution:

We spent time today coming up with ideas and prototypes for these inventions. We looked at the problem in two ways:

1. How can we fix it now?

2. How can we prevent it for the future? 

Math

Today we continued practicing double-digit subtraction with regrouping. Ask me to show you the steps to solve one of these problems!
