Solids, Gas, Liquids! Add a little sweetness and you have a whole bunch of grade 5 kids paying close attention to details. Experimental Success!!

Hello All,

We hit the ground running a few weeks ago and we are finally settling down.

In General Studies we had much to review and we had two unit tests. Well done, to all!

We did take time to get our hands dirty in the making of oobleck. Is it a solid or is it a liquid?

Tests went home and I ask that parents have a look and please send them back in with your child.

Reminders:

Dress Down this Friday Jan 26th.

Reports Cards coming home next week!

Feb 15 – Winter Fun Day! Consent Forms went home last week, I need them return soon for booking numbers. Thanks ahead of time!

Hello All!

I hope your Hanukkah celebrations went well.

The grade 5s got up to many, many different things since our last post.

In Math, the 5B class worked through math in a vast variety of ways as learning and review for the unit soon into the new year.

All grade 5 students were excited about their trip to the book fair and many purchased new reading materials. As a class we continued to read for pleasure once or twice a week and are back with class readings of Wonder. 

Our latest field trip took us to the Canadian Museum or History where the grade 5 and 4 classes were able to explore the early North American Civilizations and Indigenous peoples galleries. In both Social Studies and Études Sociales the museum helped cover much of what we have been studying in class.

Please check out their blogs for what they found new, informative, or exciting from the museum.

In Science, 5 B after making their clay models of neurons, they worked on their coordination and reflex times. Next week are putting on an experiment, where the two classes must come up with a scientific plan and hypothesis to see if older students have better reflexes or adapt to learning faster than younger students.

Next steps in science will be a unit test early in the new year.

Reminders: PJ Day is Friday Dec 22.
