聯絡事項
1.感謝家長撥冗參加一年一度的學校日活動,礙於時間的關係,很可惜無法跟每一位與會的家長講到話,爸爸媽媽若有任何問題,歡迎隨時透過電話溝通。
2.感謝得慈媽媽願意擔任班級家長代表,六年級的家代,除了要參加學校例行性的會議之外,日後還要協助畢冊、畢旅等相關事宜,這一年要辛苦得慈媽媽了,再次感謝您的熱心。
3.學校日有發下行事曆及英文書單,請家長未出席的小朋友記得帶回家轉交給爸爸媽媽。
4.為了讓孩子有較充裕的時間繳交作業、抄聯絡簿、蒸便當,請小朋友盡量於7:25進到教室。

Our English class
The 6th Grade students began a course of studying IRREGULAR verbs – how to use the PAST TENSE as well as the PAST PARTICIPLE e.g. ‘Yesterday I ate 20 dumplings.’ … “I have eaten 20 dumplings so far!” … “Have you ever eaten 25 dumplings in one meal?” “No, I have never eaten that many!”
We watched videos that illustrated the effects of peer pressure. If you would like to see one of the more amusing examples, click this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgRoiTWkBHU
We also discussed the strange phenomenon known as the Placebo Effect, which is a shocking example of how our beliefs have a measurable effect on our physical bodies.
Another interesting experiment showed how students can be influenced to make the wrong choice in a multiple-choice question when the majority of other students have chosen the wrong answer. see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TYIh4MkcfJA
The moral of the story is: Think for yourself and stick to your guns. You may enjoy asking your child to tell you about the experiment to see what conclusions they reached.
Our science class
We reviewed last week’s lab and the scientific method. Then we began studying Unit 1 “Heat” and did experiments investigating how thermal energy (heat) is a measure of molecular motion by observing the difference in speed of ink in spreading out through both hot and cold water. Our hypothesis was that the ink would spread out more quickly in the hot water because the molecules in the hot water move more quickly than in the cold water. In our experiment this was confirmed. We then studied temperature and observed how when equal amounts of two water with different temperatures are mixed the final temperature will be the average of the two temperatures. This result can be predicted as the average of the temperature of the two liquids. When the experiment was performed the actual temperature was seem to be the same as the predicted temperature.
