It has been a busy week at PFS! We have been busy showing acts of kindness and celebrating kindness in our community. We have to opportunity to contribute to our school wide assembly celebrating 100 acts of kindness. We had pictures, videos and helped MC the event. We had lots of fun! We got to play a school wide game in the gym and we helped support our grade 1 buddies during the assembly.
We have also been busy in math this week. We started a STEMS project. Our project is "The Great Chain Race" we are connecting measurement, shapes, graphing and number senses to this project. We have created some different paper chains and will be comparing, measuring and graphing our work. We are also continuing to practice building our mental math skills by developing our multiplication and division skills. We can't wait to share our work at student led conferences in March! We just started our Magnetism and Electricity unit in science. We learned about magnetic fields, south and north poles on magnets and the Earth, as well as, proper and safe use of electricity. We will be continuing our work and also looking at circuits. As a class we are still talking about our amazing trip to the central library. We had a guided tour, got to check out their resources, and got to share in some story telling activities. We learned so much and thank our fabulous volunteers to joining us, we couldn't have done it with out you! Thank you! In art we have been looking at the work of Ted Harrison and connecting it to lines, shape and colour. We will be continuing our work and sharing our learning with our grade 1/2 buddies. We had a great week full of lots of learning. Thank you for taking time to read our class blog! Thanks, Grade 5's

It is almost Valentine's Day and we are so excited! We are celebrating kindness and acts of kindness in our school. We are completing paragraph writing and will be displaying our paragraphs on kindness. We recently had a special visit from a special hockey player. Sam Bennett came to our school and we got to be journalists and interview him. We learned so many interesting facts and will be completing newspaper articles about the visit. Over the weekend we held a very special ceremony at our school. In the gym we had the Beaver Bundle Ceremony. We learned so much and have been busy sharing all we saw, felt and heard. The grade 5's are very excited to being starting a unit on Medicine Wheel Warriors. We are learning about what it means to be a warrior and how we are all warriors. We have been having class circles, writing, discussions and visits from Elders to support our work. We will be sharing more soon! The Grade 5's also got to experience winter in their sit spots on the land. We have selected sit spots in our school yard where we can study and reflect and connect with the land. We are looking forward to going to our sit spot again and participating in community walks this month. Thank you for reading our blog we can't wait to share more learning with you soon! Have a great week, remember to show kindness and remember our value of Kimmapiiypitsinni. |
