 Good evening Families!

Tomorrow is Festive Sock Day! Wear socks that are festive if you have some! Wednesday is Hunger Treat Day! Thursday is Festive Hat Day! So much to enjoy during the month of December. 

In PE, the students played a game that involved scooters! Looked like a blast!

In Music, the students are presenting their Canadian Music Artist projects. They have been doing really well!

In Math, we continued to work on ordering decimals. We learned a new strategy that can help determine which number is bigger when we look at tenths, hundredths, and thousandths. We then cut out different pages with numbers to order to practice ordering the numbers in different ways so the students could see it visually and manipulate it. https://www.mathsisfun.com/ordering_decimals.html

This afternoon, the students worked on their second set of Word Work words and continued to practice noticing the patterns in words, while learning new words. 

In Science, the student partook in a simulation as to how an oil spill reacts when it leaks into water. The students were trying to clean up the oil from the water the best that they could. They had many materials to try and get the oil out of the water. The students were to note their observations on their lab paper. We also discussed how a feather would act based on how the oil mixes with water and what would happen to those birds. We will continue this dicussion in our next Science class. 





Have a great evening!

  Good afternoon Lovely Grade 5 Parents and Guardians, I hope you had a lovely day! We sure did at school! Tomorrow is Spirit Day at school so please wear Purple (if you can) for Grade 5!

We are going from about 1:45-3:15.  This morning the students had their first music class. We learned about different vocabulary for music terms and about different instruments. We then played Rhythm Master! The students had a blast! We continued to work on our writing piece about either their summer vacations or what they are excited and nervous about in Grade 5. We are almost complete so it will be nice to hear what students did over the summer or what they are looking forward to this year. We moving forward we will be looking at how to create rich paragraphs by expanding and adding details.  In Math, we started our

 Good afternoon! A reminder tomorrow is Healthy Hunger day! Kernels will be dropped off tomorrow. Thursday is Festive Hat day!  In PE, the students are working with scooters and it looks like so much fun! In Writing, students are working on wrapping up their pieces of writing with their ending. We have discussed the different strategies to use when ending a piece of writing. So, the students are going to wrap up their stories by using two of these strategies, revealing the character's trait that they learn about themselves, and revealing the adaptation that their character has gained from its journey!  In Math, the students reviewed the decimal place value strategy that was learned over the last couple of classes. We then discussed comparing decimals and reviewing what the <, >, = mean when comparing numbers. Students then practiced this task with 15 questions.  In Word Work, students worked with their groups to find different words that followed the patterns of their words.
