Friday the 13th!

To celebrate Friday the 13th, students participated in an Amazing Race full of tasks:

(1) Can you answer True or False questions about Friday the 13th?
For example: In Eastern Asia, it's the number 4 that's unlucky. True or False?

(2) Can you calculate equations using 13?

(3) Can you associate the name of the phobia with its definition?

(4) Can you use the order of operations to write an equation equal to 13?

(5) Can you classify superstitions as good luck or bad luck?

(6) Can you fill in the blanks to complete the story of Apollo 13?

If students made it through all six tasks, they were rewarded with Lucky Charms!

Field Trip!

Today 6F1 had the chance to explore flight at the Royal Western Canada Aviation Museum.
First, students were treated to a lecture on flight by the entertaining Chris Without a Hat.
Then, they went on a tour of the museum collection with guide Amelia.
After a yummy pizza lunch, students built air craft out of recyclable materials and participated in a scavenger hunt. What a great day!
