Ontario+-+October

The students in Gill-Ville will be comparing transportation, buildings, and recreation in Waterloo Region and Toronto. Since we are learning about graphs and charts, we thought that we would use a Venn Diagram to show our ideas with pictures. First we made a list on chart paper and then we sorted the pictures to show where you would see each of these community features!







Here is the report for grade 4's physical regions:

**Grade Six - Social Studies presented to Canada Connections**
The Grade 6 students provided an oral presentation on the origins of Canadian/ North American first people. They discussed the land bridge theory where people arrived in North America from Asia as they followed the migrating herds across a land bridge. They also presented the First Nation legend of Turtle Island. After presenting to the other students at the other schools, the grade six students reflected on the effectiveness of their presentation. They believed that it was necessary to consider their audience more carefully as they planned for the next Canada Connections. It was decided that the next presentation would need to be more visual.

**Grade 5 Franklin Public School Room 10**
Canada's government in the Capital city of Ottawa decide to create a new flag. Our class followed history and created 6 submissions and presented them to all the classes for their votes. Thanks to everyone for their feedback!
