 Good afternoon Families,

This is Miss. Hillier's last week with us, as she has another opportunity at another school for the remainder of the year. If you have questions, please contact the office. 

In PE, today, the students practiced their skipping skills. First, the students set it down and practiced jumping front and back or side to side. At the end of the class, the students tested themselves to see who could do it the longest. 

In Music, we practiced a new pattern game called Sevens. Have a look here: Sevens.

We read more of our novel Restart. 

In Math, we practice understanding positional coordinates on a coordinate plane. We used our knowledge from our life size coordinate plane from Friday. Then we did our math centers. 

In Writing, we learned about coordinating conjunctions and how they fix our run on sentence. We watched a rap about FANBOYS, then applied it to our writing. 

This afternoon, we did our reading stations. We continued to work on our Arctic social notetaking skills, learning about the Inuit people and the Europeans. 

In Science, we learned about physical and chemical changes. We used this knowledge to write our own examples and do a word search with the terminology. 


Have a great evening!

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 Families, It is Miss. Hillier's last day tomorrow! Tomorrow is PJ Day so come dressed in something comfy! In PE, the students are working on their jump rope skills. They are practicing different tricks while jumping rope there are many different ones and they increase in difficulty.  In Writing, we are continuing on with our grammar work! We learned about verbs today. There are different types: action verbs (describe what is being done) and linking verbs (linking the subject to the adjective).  In Math, the students continued to work on an assignment based around Coordinate Geometry. The students have to create a city within the Coordinate Plane. They have to include certain places in their city. They have to create the places using different 2D polygon shapes. Once they have completed the city, they have to write out the coordinates for each shape and label the shape. After they have done that, they need to create 4 questions related to direction within the Coordin
