Earth Day

Good morning everyone,

Today is Earth Day. The theme for Earth Day this year is fighting climate change, through changing our diets. You can read about it here: https://www.earthday.org/earth-day-2020/

In room 5/6 we've spent a fair bit of time discussing climate change, and what that means for the Earth and for us. We've learned about different, simple ways that we can make a positive difference. Can you remember some of the things we can do on a daily basis to help the Earth? Talk to your families about it!

Links to online learning websites

Hi everyone, Below is a list of websites families can use at home for extra practice on core subject areas. Please have a look and see which websites work best for you. Until the CBE determines how we will proceed, it is important for students to be reading, writing, and practicing basic math skills. Try to spend some time each day working on each three. Please keep checking the blog and email. As soon as there is more information for families, the CBE and/or Taradale School will let families know. I will follow up with blog posts passing along any pertinent information. Please stay safe, everyone.

Roll An Array: 1. Each person chooses a colour to colour their array. 2. Roll twice dice, for example 3 and 4. 3. Colour in the array for either 3x4 or 4x3, wherever you want to place it. 4.

You are done when all squares are coloured. Thanks to Sonia and Vamika for their picture! Here is an example of a completed game (thanks for Japneek and Prajna):
