What have you learnt about this year in social studies?
|
What was your favourite project and why? My favorite project was making the Mayan pyramid because it took a long time to make it. It was fun to build because I’m into engineering. I’m interested in how structures are built. In addition, I like ancient civilizations and I find the way they survive fascinating. It’s just amazing how the pyramids are still standing. When I finished the project it looked like the real pyramid. |
What was something new or interesting you learnt this year? That there was a civilization called Mayans. I also learned that Canada has physical regions. My favourite Canadian region is the Canadian Shield because I live in it. I also like the West Cordillera because there are some nice hiking trails where I have gone camping with my dad. The interesting part was learning about the Mayans. To sum it up it all was enjoyable and interesting. |
Did you enjoy the historical side or the Geographical side? Why? I enjoyed both, they were both so fun. The historical part was amazing because I find the ways old civilizations survive so interesting. I like learning about the past. The geographical part was informative and enjoyable. I really enjoyed building my model of the Canadian Shield. |
What do you hope to learn about in social studies in Grade 5? I hope to learn about ancient Greece and the Roman emperors. I have read a lot of fiction with Greek mythology but I would like to know what it all actually is about. Also I would like to learn about the different cultures around the world. I also would want to do stuff that has crafts. To sum it up, I just want to learn!! |
Wow exciting topics, I too love the Canadian Shield!
