Math Skype Problem of The Week
























The length and width remain the same in volume calculation before and after water freezes.  

The depth (height) of the water changes.

   After freezing, the depth (height) increases from 100% to 110%.  

   Therefore, the depth of the water will be 110% of the height.

   h=38.5cm ÷ 1.1    (110÷100)
   h=35cm

   The container can be filled with water to a depth of 35cm so that when it            freezes the ice will not go over the top of the container.



Religion:

The intermediate classes at St. Simon participated in a board wide initiative titled "anchor of hope" to represent the 2013/2014 theme of the year of HOPE. Since there were 4 intermediate classes, each class was put in charge of a letter and the letter was divided among the students in puzzle pieces. The students had to draw anything that reminded them of hope. Mr. Di Croce's class was put in charge of the letter "P" and this colourful art piece below is the result of the student's hard work and creativity.
