Inquiry
Communities of the North and Hot & Cold Temperatures
We have begun a new inquiry into an Arctic community and Hot & Cold Temperatures. Researching Iqaluit, Nunavut, through Inuit culture, the environment and the animals. We have also begun to experiment measuring and comparing hot and cold temperatures.
Here are two Inuit stories we have studied. Ask your child what the lesson of the story is.
Math & Robotics
This week we started a measurement unit using robots. We have been using programming to compare standard measurement and non-standard measurements.
Royal Oak School is pleased to be hosting a ‘Literacy Night’ on Thursday, January 18th from 6:30-7:30pm. During this evening we will be exploring “Literacy in Your Life”, where you will be able to participate in and incorporate new and exciting literacy activities into your daily lives as a family.
To begin the evening we will have a quick stand-up assembly followed by a variety of sessions hosted by our teachers in different classrooms around the school. Resources and suggestions for each activity will be provided at each session. The Calgary Public Library and Calgary Reads will also be joining us this evening in the Gathering Space.
We look forward to spending a joyful and engaging evening of literacy with you and your families!
Sincerely,
The ROS Literacy Committee and ROS Staff
