Projects
The Monday AIM class (grades 1 - 3) finished up their mapping projects. All of the students have created interesting treasure maps and many of them have stories or instructions to go along with them.The Tuesday ASPIRE class presented their projects to each other; they each created a map, 3D model of their booby trapped treasure, and then either enciphered directions to the treasure or a story to go along with it. We ran out of time so are looking forward to a couple more presentations in the last class; these ones will involve deciphering some pretty tricky messages!
The Thursday AIM class presented their projects; treasure maps and enciphered directions. We are still working our way through deciphering some of the messages (Iain used a keyword cipher, Caesar cipher and a letter to number cipher so he's keeping us pretty busy!)
Geocaching
Even though we were short on time, the Penticton 4s and 5s and the Summerland AIM and ASPIRE classes were all able to build, hide and record the coordinates for their geocaches. Thank you to everyone who brought small toys to put in the geocaches. During the last week of gifted classes we will get the opportunity to search for the caches!Dates to Note
