 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 Coordinate Plane and they need to provide the answer. 

I am hoping to finish Restart before I leave tomorrow. I might be pushing it, as we have about 10 chapters left!

This afternoon, the students created flags in Makerspace with their choice of material. Some were very creative, take a look:


















We finished the day with Minecraft Education. The tasks that I assigned to them related to math concepts that we have already covered or will cover soon. 

In Science, we finished yesterday with a lab based on acids and bases. We tested different household materials to see if they were acids and bases. It was surprising for some students which household materials were acids and bases. 

It has been a pleasure working with your children thus far. 

Have a great eve!

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
