EQAO Week

This week, we have EQAO tests in all the grade 3 and 6 classes. These tests are held by The Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO). It aims to test students’ skills in reading, writing and mathematics at key points in their elementary-school education. Students are tested twice. First, it is at the end of Grade 3, to assess what they’ve learned throughout the Primary Division

(Grades 1-3). Second, it is at the end of Grade 6, to assess what they’ve learned throughout the Junior Division (Grades 4-6).
Our tests start on Tuesday and end on Friday. On Tuesday, we did Reading and Writing Part A section. On Wednesday, we did Reading and Writing Part B section. On Thursday, we did Reading and Writing Part C section. We also did Mathematics Part A section. Each section was long. Each section took me about 30 minutes.
After each section of EQAO, we usually will have about 40 minutes of free time outside or free time inside because of EQAO. Today, Ms. Cliff gave us lots of free time inside. Yameen, Rodney, Ethan and, I played with the pattern blocks. We used some blocks to build a small tower. We pretended there was a war outside of our village. Then, we had villagers, and soldiers with weapons, some soldiers with no weapons to fight against the bad guys. The air tanks sucked up the bad guys and put them in jail while the good soldiers fought with the weapons. After, all the bad guys were in jail. Ms. Cliff told us to clean up and we tidied up.
