Summer uniforms have began, so please wear your summer uniforms to school tomorrow. Tomorrow our literature circles are due as we have rock climbing on Friday. On Friday, biodiversity summatives are due and we will start presentations. Also, we have our bouldering rock climbing trip on Friday. Please wear your gym clothes and shoes to school.

Inquiry into Mathematics
Today in math we learned about congruent figures. When congruent polygons coincide, corresponding sides and corresponding angles also coincide (in order for two images to be congruent figures they must have all the same side lengths and have all the same angles).
Points to remember:
Translations – slide. After a translation, a figure and its image are congruent (same shape and same size) and they face the same way. We say 'A prime' and write A’ when referring to the points on the new image.
Reflections- flip. After reflections, a figure and its image are congruent and can face opposite ways. Remember any point and its reflection image are the same distance form the mirror line. Remember to label each new image and use prime (') on the new points.
Rotations - turns. After a rotation, a figure and its image are congruent and may face different ways. If a figure turns 360 degrees (a full turn), we will not use the prime (‘) symbol as with the full turn it is back to the original figure.
Remember to label the vertices of the final image A" B" C" D". Read as "A double prime".
Unit of Inquiry
Today we continued to work on our biodiversity summative. For this summative students will research a species of their choice and create a podcast to inform the rest of us about the species they chose. It may be an audio or video podcast. The podcast is due on Friday, April 26th.
Our final unit of the year will be about coding. All students will be required to have a working laptop, not device, for this unit. They will be expected to bring it to school each and every day. Students will also be expected have their own email account. A Gmail account is preferred, as we can easily share our projects. Our coding unit begin on Monday, April 29th
The podcasts are looking great!
