Unit of Inquiry   How We Organise Ourselves:	CI: Markets operate in response to supply and demand. This week we will be continuing our class market project. We will also start thinking about the project we would like to undertake in small groups. We have discussed why people sell certain products -  supply and demand = form. We have seen evidence of how a market operates = function. We have looked at what influences how a market operates  = causation. Your task this week is you to think about what you would like to make and  sell at the Grade 4/5 market. Brainstorm a list of ideas and think about who you would like to work with. On Friday we will share our ideas, confirm groups and get started on our projects. We will follow the steps we used for the whole class snack stand.
Reading	Read for 20 mins + each day and complete your class reading log. Try to finish the book you are currently reading. Next week you will be recommending books to your peers.
Writing: Sensory task	Last Friday we visited the BKK market. We wrote down what we could see, smell, hear, feel and taste. Use your notes and the class collective brainstorm of descriptive words (on board & pictures on blog) to create a poem of a piece of writing about the marketplace. Your piece of writing must contain all senses. If you chose to write a poem it must have at least 3 verses. If you chose to write a story it must be at least 3 paragraphs. You will present your story or poem to the class on Friday.
Math	Grade 4 Measurement - word problems: John rode 2 kilometers on his bike. His sister Sally rode 3000 meters on her bike. Who rode the farthest and how much farther did they ride (answer in km)? Stephanie and her best friend Brianne went to see a movie. It started at 1:45 pm and ended at 4:00 pm. How long was the movie? David has a lot of homework to do. He starts his reading homework at 3:45 and ends at 4:30. Then he does math from 4:30 until 5:00. Lastly, he studies for a science test from 5:00 - 5:30. How much total time did David spend on his homework and studying? It takes 3 hours to wash every window on a building. There are 30 windows. How many minutes does it take to wash each window? Grade 5: Volume - word problems If one paperclip has the mass of 1 gram and 1,000 paper clips have a mass of 1 kilogram, how many kilograms are 8,000 paper clips? A box contains 4 bags of sugar. The total mass of all 4 bags is 6 kg. What is the mass of each bag in grams? Stan walked 2 kilometers each day during the month of April. What distance did he walk for the month? Show you answer in Kilometres and Metres. How much water will it take to fill a swimming pool that is 15 m wide, 25 m long and 6 m deep? Show your thinking as you work out the answer. If you are looking for extra practice with Measurement you can complete exercises on IXL and Mathletics.
