During book week, we wrote comic strips about the person we dressed up as. The topic was reading is my superpowers/secret power, so I dressed up as Poison Ivy. Her powers are that she can make plant life do whatever she wants. We also had a parade in the gym and saw what other people dressed up as. It was very fun and I can’t wait to dress up next year.
During tuning in for exhibition, we wrote our lines of inquiry, central idea, essential agreement and the know, think, want to know.
My lines of inquiry are an inquiry into climate change patterns, an inquiry into what causes climate change, and an inquiry into how climate change effect things.
I think you heard that my central idea was going to be communities struggle when change occurs, but I changed it to progress impacts communities.
I had to write my essential agreement with my partner and then we had to sign it so it stays like that. The know, think, want to know is when we write the things that I know, the things I want to know and the things I want to know. We wrote the want to know one in a lotus diagram so we could create our lines of inquiry.
We also looked at the approaches to learning, Key concepts and the PYP calendar. In the calendar, we had to write our goals for that day and the driving question for the next lesson.
For the approaches to learning, we used it to write our essential agreement, and it was very useful. The key concept is to help us arrange the questions into different sections and help us write our line of inquiry.
I have to really challenge myself.
This week, we have been continuing with our research. I am on to the last line of inquiry but I still have to e-mail my primary source. I have searched a lot, but most of the information I found was on the iPad. I also got some books from the library, but it was not much. Some questions are hard to answer because there is not always the answer on one site, so I learnt tat you have to look through multiple site to find answers. I have also worked on it at home for independent study since we get to take our iPad home now. I hope I can answer some more questions.
We have also chosen our dance for PE (finally) and we are doing a dance fight and it was heat vs cool. It was Patrick’s idea but Indy added some bits. I hope 🤞 we can start our choreography next week.
This is my order of adjectives video, hope you like it.

This week for exhibition, we are writing questions on a diagram to make our lines of inquiry. The classroom I am working in is 5S. The teacher help me change a bit of my lines of inquiry, and my lines of inquiry are an inquiry into the climate change patterns, an inquiry into what is causing climate change, and an inquiry into how climate change effect things. We are also dancing our issue in PE. We had to dance in our exhibition classes. My group didn’t work that well because they kept changing the topic. I hope we were better next time and make more progress.
We are learning about 3D shapes in maths. With a 3D shape, you can measure volume by multiplying the height by the width by the depth. With a 2D shape, you can measure the perimeter by adding the length to times and the width two times. Yo can also find out the area by multiplying the length by the width. The shapes are similar because they are both shapes and they can both be measured.
My Year 5 exhibition topic is climate change. I chose it because I like animal especially polar bears, but the ice is melting so there is only a bit of ice. It is also a very interesting topic to do since I don’t know much of it. My transdisciplinary theme is sharing the planet because it is about the planet, and it fits in there the most. I have made up central ideas like communities struggle when change occurs or communities struggle when heat over takes. I think the communities struggle when change occurs because will happen.
This week, we had to write a six word story in writing. The teacher showed us some examples and they were mostly sad ones , so I decided to do a happy one. Here is mine.
