October 23

Tomorrow is library book day. Please remember to place any old library books into our backpacks so we may exchange them.

In Social Studies we read the story of Malala Yousafzai. This story really struck a chord with our class:

" Why aren't the girls allowed to go to school? That's not fair"

" It is sad that the children have to go to work to help support their families"

"If they choose to go to school instead of working, their families might not have the money for food and to pay for their home"

In English we read a chapter of the Wizard of Oz and continued our work on summarizing stories.

In French class we studied the e/eu sound in a short story about a horse. We then wrote out own rhyming poems and then wrote short stories based on our poems. We also did a relay race to fill in the gaps in a story that practised the e/eu sound.

In science we continued to write up our biscuit experiment and compared which extraction method was better for the environment compared to the amount of 'diamonds' we were able to extract.

Ask me: What I thought of Malala's story? Could I live like she did?
