Buddhism

Language

Learning goal: Students will learn how to write a recount.

Students watched a video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35F2vgkxRxA) that explains each step of how to write a recount and also examples of action words, past tense verbs, and description. After learning about Buddhism and watching a video of the story of Buddha in UOI, students wrote a recount on the video.

Math

Learning goal: Students will calculate mean and mode of data.

Students looked at examples of calculating the mean and mode from data.

The Mean is a number that represents the centre of a set of numbers.
Example: The number of cubes in each row is 3, 4, 4, 9.
Add the numbers together: 3 + 4 + 4 + 9 = 20
Then divide by the number of rows, 4: 20/4=5

The Mode is the number that occurs most often in the data.

Students worked on pg. 158 questions 1-4 in the textbook.

Homework: Math Sheet

UOI

Learning goal: Students will learn about Buddhism.

Students watch a video on the story of Buddha (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3gK4VO9roE). Students looked at an information sheet that talks about the founder, how it's different from other religions, who Siddartha Gautama was, where they worship, the sacred text, meditation,  and karma.

Homework: Please bring devices for tomorrow's activity.

The St. Jude's community places a lot of emphasis on giving and conducting acts of charity. In light of the Christmas season which is fast approaching, we are happy to announce that we collaborating with Peel Regional Police for their 'Toys for Tots' charity. We will be conducting a toy drive from December 7th to December 21st. Members of the St. Jude's community may donate new, unwrapped toys, cash or Canadian Tire money to make an underprivileged child's Christmas one to remember. All proceeds will be handed over directly to Peel Regional Police on December 21st. We are also pleased to announce the Toys for Tots charity is the first major project our Student Council will be conducting this academic year. 

Toys can be donated at the front desk by placing them under the Christmas tree. There will be a tracking sheet provided to record the student who donated. Upon collecting the toys, a police officer will allow one lucky student to pie him/her in the face. As such, it is important to record the names of each student to give everyone a chance. Alternatively, toys may be handed to class teachers. To educate our PYP students about the importance of giving, house points will be awarded for each toy donated.

We look forward to your donations, all of which will be greatly appreciated. 
Tis the season for joy, happiness, love, and sharing. Have a Merry Christmas!

Thank you.

Student Council
