A look into the learning adventures in Mrs. Moir, Mr. Knoll & Mrs.Robinson’s Grade 6 learning communities at Battalion Park School!

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students started our exploration of the planets with expository texts. Many students noticed discrepancies that led to a conversation about publication dates. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students building language skills through Choice Boards that include a variety of reading, writing and speaking tasks. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students exploring mass by estimating classroom objects then using tools to determine how close their predictions were. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Number Talk Task- how close would your estimation be? #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students presenting arguments to judges in our mock session of the Supreme Court for our Democracy Performance Task. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students building shapes, calculating perimeters and noticing relationship patterns. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students discussed and debated what makes a story entertaining. These techniques will become our success criteria when writing our narratives. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students creating study cards about Democracy and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms to build their exam preparation skills and confidence during assessment opportunities. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students drawing and discussing their designs for a toy or a tool that uses a property of air for their Science Performance Task. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students explored measurement concepts by estimating and then measuring items around the classroom. Rich conversations were had about precision in measuring. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students building an appreciation for math by finding examples of it being used in the world around them. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students exploring techniques to create enjoyable short stories by reading narratives created by a master storyteller, Robert Munsch. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students explored sentences through readings and videos- discussing their connections and taking meaningful notes. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students were given goofy (pretend) rules from the government and used the Charter of Rights and Freedoms to determine why they were illegal. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students researching wellness themed topics to determine the best advice to share with others. They are collecting these nuggets in a brochure to share with others. Students found they also needed their critical thinking skills! #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students listening to songs with themes of Remembrance to decide which song they felt connected best to the topic- Peacekeepers. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students drew creatures with their buddies. Rolling dice determined the shapes to be used. Giggles were heard everywhere! #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawks1 #BPSHawksRocks #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Grade 6’s chose experiments and carried them out today to demonstrate the property of air that it takes up space. One group even inadvertently found an example of air exerts pressure!

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students using magnifying glasses to read artifacts- the war records of an Albertan- a young man from Red Deer. We read the letter he wrote to his family, including a poem about Vimy Ridge. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE

[BPSHawks6 @BPSHawks6]

Students reviewed the Scientific Method by following the steps of an experiment- creating a design to fall to the ground slower than the control. #BPSHawks6 #BPSHawksLearn #WeAreCBE
