Top Five Fabulous! March 6, 2020 In PE, we have been learning gymnastics skills. We were working on our movements around the gym, and then balancing using our cores. We had to listen for a movement, and a number to show that point balance. For example, skipping and 8 would mean skipping around the gym and then finding an 8 point balance. In science, we have been learning about how water evaporates. We conducted a few different experiments. In one of them, we put ice cubes on black paper and then white paper and put them in the sun. The ice melted really quickly when it was on the black paper as the black paper absorbed the heat. We also talked about how to keep our water clean and safe. We read the book, “The Water Princess” and watched a video. Check it out under our wonders. In art, we have been learning about a new artist. We learne...

Top Five Fabulous! March 13, 2020 In art, we worked on our Paul Klee art. We have really had to persevere as it has been a lot of work! We are using small strokes in one direction and blister colouring. We cannot wait to show you our masterpiece. In PE, we have been working on gymnastics skills. We have been practicing our pencil rolls, and our logs rolls, dismounts and balances. We put all of this together with a group to come up with a routine that we presented in front of the class. In math, we are working with numbers up to and including one hundred. We played ‘Guess my Number’. We could ask: Is it even or odd? Is it greater or less than _____? What is the sum of the digits in your number? What is the differences of the digits in my number? Is the digit in the ones place greater than the digit in the tens...
Top Five Fabulous Feb. 28 1. In PE we had a guest teacher. He taught gym because he reached 100 on his reading treasure map. He decided what games our class would be playing. Also he explained what expectations he was looking in order to choose which classmates would be helpers. 2. In math, we used a mystery box to guess which 3D object was inside. We brainstormed a few questions to ask to help us identify which 3D object might be in the box. The questions were: How many faces does the object have? How many edges does the object have? How many vertices does the object have? What shapes are faces? What could the object be used for? 3. On Wednesday we had a sharing assembly. In our assembly, a few of the grade 5/6 students shared “Would You Rather…” writing. They were funny. The grade 4’s and kindergarden class sang a kindness song and asked the whole school to participate in...
