Sherlock

The Problem:
Sherlock Homes was listening to a strange tape that
had been left at the home of Lady Webberly: "At the
sound of the tone the time is 7:00 PM. exactly, Monday,
May 3,1987. In precisely 16,700 minutes you must be
under the oak tree behind the Somerset library, or you
will be in grave danger." Sherlock instructed Lady
Webberly to follow the instructions and that he would
follow behind at a discreet distance. On what day and
at what time was Lady Webberly to be under the oak
tree behind the library?

Number Patterns and Pattern Rules

A Number Pattern:

A list of numbers that follow a certain sequence or pattern.

They can be ascending or descending.

Pattern Rule: How a pattern grows or changes.

Types of Pattern Rules:

A Recursive Pattern Rule: is a pattern rule that tells you the start number of a pattern and how the pattern continues. For example, a recursive rule for the pattern 5, 8, 11, 14, … is start with 5 and add 3.

A Common Difference: is the difference between any two consecutive terms in a pattern. Not all patterns have a common difference. For example, the pattern 5, 10, 15, 20, … has a common difference of 5. The pattern 1, 4, 9, 16, … has no common difference.

An Explicit Pattern Rule: is a pattern rule that tells you how to get any term in the pattern without listing all the terms before it. For example, an explicit pattern rule for 5, 8, 11, 14, … uses the first term (5) and the common difference (3). To calculate the 20th term, 20th term first term  [(term number 1) (common difference)] 5 (19 3) 5 57 62

May News Letter

Mr. Hussey News

Hello Parents and Guardians of our Grade 5 class!

I cannot believe that it is already May! Where has the time gone? It seems like it was just yesterday that the school year had started and now we are down to our last nine weeks. Crazy!

Literacy: In Literacy we have been very busy! We have finished recounts, Movie Reviews, Letters, Poster creation and presentation as well as reading some non fiction sources and starting our media literacy unit on fake news. To finish up the year we will be wrapping up our fake news unit, writing our research papers and doing a self guided literacy circle where the students will be in charge of picking their own novel to read for the next 6-7 weeks and creating a number of different works based off of this novel. Eg Comic, letter, article etc. In oral speaking we will be putting on short plays in groups see Drama Below for more details.

Math: In Math we have just finished up our unit on fractions and decimals and will be moving onto number patterns and measurement before wrapping up the year with some probability.

Outdoors: As the days start to warm up we will be looking at spending more time outside to help enhance our learning.  This month we are taking part in the Bird Blitz! A program designed where the students get to be citizen scientists recording the birds they see and sending their information into Bird Studies Canada.

Drama/Oral Literacy: In Drama and Oral Literacy the students will be put into groups and be presenting short plays on the second last week of school. The exact dates will be announced at the beginning of June. These plays cover a range of social and critical thinking issues. The students will be in charge of memorizing their lines, coming up with a costume and props for their characters and creating a display about the play they are in before presenting to each other and hopefully any parents who are able to visit.

Extra Curricular:

Ongoing: Starting again Wednesday at Lunch: Garden Club! Excited to see all of you now the snow is gone. :)

Finished up:

Jr. Volleyball, Jr. Boys and Jr. Girls Basketball,School Musical.

Coming up:

Track and Field

Thank you,
