 Good Afternoon Families,

Hopefully you are all staying warm! 

Today was PJ Day!

Today in PE, the students played Mission Impossible. There was a story that went with today's Mission Impossible: 

  • Because of how cold it is, Santa’s reindeer can’t fly to deliver the presents
  • Because of this, you (the elf, the student) must make it through the snow storm and deliver the presents yourself
  • *Each student must take one present from the crate and bring it with them through the obstacle course
  • *If they or their present touches any of the equipment then they just restart.
In Writing, the students finished their stories. They then participated in holiday writing prompts. 

In Math, the students had to use their addition knowledge of decimals to find out the price of the gifts during the 12 days of Christmas. They did this in groups to help expand their knowledge. They continued on this from yesterday.

We did our Hot Chocolate Science experiment. The students learned about the perfect way to make hot chocolate. They also used their knowledge of what a solute and solvent are. 

We continued reading Restart.

Yesterday afternoon, we did our reading stations and went to Makerspace to be creative! Check it out:














This afternoon, we played Minecraft Education and then we watched The Muppets Christmas Carol. 

I will be returning for two weeks in January to wrap up things with the students. It has been great getting to know this family community and your children. Thank you to those that bought gifts and sent cards, it was so kind of you. 

Have a great holiday break! Spend some time with each other and enjoy each other's company! Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. 

Stay safe and warm!

Miss. Hillier

  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 also going on a walking Field Trip tomorrow to the Coventry/Country Hills Storm Pond. Please make sure that your child is dressed for the weather as it may rain in the afternoon. 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.

 Hello Lovely Parents and Guardians! Tomorrow is Orange Shirt Day! Please read the following: On Thursday, September 29, students are encouraged to wear an orange shirt (or an orange article of clothing if they don't have an orange shirt) to recognize Orange Shirt Day and National Truth and Reconciliation Day. Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for everyone to come together in the spirit of reconciliation to show their support of a safe, respectful and caring school community.
