Sumdog National Contest Results

Our students recently competed in a nation-wide math contest on the Sumdog web site. 47 students from 6Pike and 6Seguin competed and answered 12 269 questions correctly! So proud of the students for representing Northwood at the National level. Students have fun playing the Sumdog games and practice valuable skills that help them meet their individual math learning goals.

Special recognition goes to Aidan, Namanya, Harkarn, Sunvir, and Ayesha for answering 1000 questions correctly.

The London area schools have started a new contest that we have entered. The London contest runs from March 21-27. Let's see if we can top the success of our National contest!

Lego Club Begins!

Some kids wanted to try building a Lego kit using directions. This kit makes a train. 

Aboudi asks "Mrs Pike, why can't we have Lego club every day?"

Keegan made a ship but he had to take it apart. 

Mohammad did not want to take his spaceship apart. 

Ali and Moamal made an airplane!

Free building using their imaginations!

Looking forward to the next Lego Club on Thursday :)

Paper mâché Olympians

Having fun and making a big mess while celebrating the Winter Olympics! Students used aluminum foil and paper mâché to create Olmpic athletes in motion. Maaheen says, "This was really exciting because I have never done a project like this before. We are doing three different kinds of art in one project!  I finally got to paper mâché!"

 So happy our student teacher, Miss Voy, was here to help!

Olympic Sports Sculptures

Paper mâché sculptures are ready for painting!

Thank you, Miss Coombs for helping us with the hot glue gun! We hope you didn't get burned too many times.

Thank you, Miss Dawson, for helping us keep our special cultural clothing free from paint. You are very clever!

Using a Protractor

Students are learning to use protractors to measure and draw angles. This site has fun activities for kids to practice. Give it a try!

Olympic Fever Hits Grade 6!

Students have been watching Olympic sports and designing their own versions of the game using all kinds of gym equipment. I can't wait to see what they come up with! Check back next week to see the games in action!
