Sept. 21 - 24

Reminder: Picture Day is Monday
No school Sept 30th

Tim Hortons Classroom In-class Program was a hit! The students tackled teamwork, communication skills and perservence through hands-on learning activities both indoors and outdoors.



























































In Social Studies and Science, students began to learn about the world. Students explored maps and globes to understand where the equator is and predict the climate of areas near the equator.

They also identified the seven continents and the provinces and territories in Canada, as preliminary learning to the ancient civilizations that grade 5 Social Studies encompasses.





In math students continue to explore place value. We use disks and visual charts to support our development to show number in a number of ways.




In P.E., it was all about THROWING towards a target.








Lastly, we celebrated Fall Eqinox with our buddies. After exploring the school field, everyone collected their loose parts to create beauftiful pictures.









Thank you to all of you who came to conferences. Have a lovely weekend and we will see your kids on Monday. =)

Mrs. Harris

Hello 5C families,  Today we had an in-service to better understand how having impaired vision would impact our learning from day to day. We learned about the learning materials and tools available as support. Check out all of the activities that students participated in today and ask them all about the aftenoon! We also wrote about our strengths and goals, shared and edited our writing, and then visited the music space where we will be learning with our neighboring 5B class. Check out these videos.   Who invented Braille? How to be a sighted guide? Take care for now, Mrs. Harris
