We started our day by sharing what we did over the long weekend, and then taking some time to do some spring cleaning of our desks. We had lots of "feuilles sauvages" that needed to be put in the correct duotangs!
Our school nurse, Nurse Jennifer, came to our class to do a presentation on Canada's New Food Guide. We played basketball games outside for Phys. Ed. In Science we learned how to make "un anemomètre " to measure wind speed using "un rapporteur" (a protractor), "une balle de tennis de table", "de la ficelle"(string) and "du ruban" (tape). We took them outside to test them out, and we will test them again on a windier day! We had a period to work on reading or incomplete work. In Math we worked independently to show Mme what we know about comparing and ordering decimals. Ask me how come you can not just count the digits to compare two decimal numbers? Reminders: Students should make sure that their Social Studies project is shared with Mme in Google Drive today. Students who will be going to Branton in the fall need to return their field trip forms for our Mat 1st visit to Branton. We are in need of a parent volunteer to join us on this trip. If your police clearance is up to date and you are able to join us please email Mme April at [email protected]

We started our day working on our Onomatopoeia Pop Art assignment. Many students finished up, and others will need to work on it during our independent work time next week.
Mme read us The Lorax and we discussed what we thought the message of the book was. In Math we did another round of Connect 4 to practice ordering decimal numbers. We had Music and Phys. Ed. We had some time to read or work on incomplete works. We went to our Buddy Class to discuss with them what we learned from the Lorax, and we got to watch some of the movie. Next week we will continue to discuss the impact of our small actions on the environment, and think of some things that we can do as a class to make a positive impact. Reminders: Our Social Studies project is due Tuesday April 23. Parents, please ensure that your child has placed the document in their Grade 5 Social Studies folder in googledrive, this way it does not need to be printed. Students will need to have identified a song with at least three different types of figurative language for next week. Please make sure that they have an idea of which song they would like to analyze, and ensure that it is school appropriate (in content and language). In French we worked on our paragraphs, we will finish these up next week!
In Science we talked about our weather predictions and worked together to determine what we should look for when we're making weather predictions. Starting next week we will need to check the weather at night and track the forecast, Mme will send home a sheet for us to use. In Phys. Ed we played more basketball games. In Math me did another "Which one doesn't belong?" and we played Connect 4 to practice ordering decimals. We had Sphero club. We read in French or worked on incomplete work. In English we worked on our Onomatopeia pop art. We edited our French paragraphs and once we were finished correcting our past tense verbs we did the rest of POMMES. If we finished that we could work on our good copy. In Science we continued our poster of what we know and what we want to learn about weather. We also went outside to observe today's weather and make predictions about the weather tomorrow. Note from Mme: Students are asked to check the weather for tomorrow (they can watch the news, check an app, or check online) and to make note of what predictions are made. We will discuss the observations made tomorrow in class. In Phys Ed we started playing basketball games, and we gave our teams names. The Orange Balls The Taco Balls The Albino Donkeys The Llamas The Platypuses The Sharkpedos In English we learned about Onomatopoeia, Mme read us The Book with No Pictures, and we started an Onomatopoeia art project. We read in French or worked on unfinished work. In math we did "Which one doesn't belong" with 4 decimal numbers. Can you figure out which one doesn't belong? Then we played a game to compare decimals with our clock buddies. We took turns drawing cards and choosing which position to put the number in, and tried to make a number bigger than our partners.
Hazel and Kaitlyn showed us some of their pixel art. Reminders: Social Studies is now due Tuesday April 23, instead of Thursday April 18th. Tomorrow is Coding Club for Grade 5s. Mme will return our Science Evaluations next week. We started off with 'Organisation' and 'Quoi de Neuf'. We talked about what we did on the weekend and got new billets.
In French we corrected the past tense verbs in our text about our Spring Break. We had music and we used the Ukulele, we listened to the music Friday song and we listened to some garage band presentations. In Science we started our new weather unit. We wrote down with our clock buddy parters what we already know about weather, what we would like to learn about weather, and at the end of our unit we will add what we have learned. After Science we did English and we learned about Alliterations. We read Fox in Socks, and then we got a list of alliterations from Mme to practice. Once we had looked over them we started to make our own alliterations. After lunch we were reading in French or we did independent work. After reading we did Math, First we did a number talk, Mme asked us which one doesn't belong out of 9,8 / 12,8 / 10, 85 and 18,7. Afterwards we learned and practiced how to compare decimals. We took a break in the middle of math to play four corners because we had been sitting for a while. We did Weebly. Reminders: Our Social Studies project is due Thursday. There is no school Friday April 19 or Monday April 22. Grade 4s are accepting donations for the Garage Sale. Students should be thinking about a song that has examples of at least three types of figurative language for our upcoming English project. This should be selected by Thursday. They have been asked to be mindful of the language and content of the song to ensure that it is appropriate for school. Today was School Spirit Day!
We had the laptops and we worked on our Social Studies project or played math games. We have no more time to work on this at school, but we can work on it at home next week! (It is due Thursday April 18th). We had an assembly, and Mira won 2nd place in the yearbook art competition! After the assembly we went outside for a recess break. We went to see our reading buddies. Mme Jenn read us a story about telling the truth and then we drew pictures that showed honesty and helped our buddies write sentences about ways that we can be honest. Mme gave us a decimal emoji to color (it was the blushing emoji) to practice identifying emojis. We did Weebly :) We started the day with English and we learned about idioms like:
- Two peas in a pod. - Don't poke the bear. - When pigs fly. - Don't cried over spilled milk. In Phys. Ed we played capture the flag outside. After Phys. Ed we worked on some math questions to practice the different ways to represent decimals. We had a yearbook meeting an the yearbooks will be delivered sometime during June. The winners of yearbook art completion will be announced tomorrow. Then we did reading and some of us worked on unfinished work. After reading we did Social Studies, if we were done we could read or do some math games. Then we did Weebly! We had a visit from Mme April's baby! Reminders: VAS School Spirit Day Tomorrow is the final day to work on our Social Studies Project in class. We started the day with Social Studies, we worked on the written part of our project in the computer lab. We learned about Hyperbole in English. In Music we finished our garage band projects and people who wanted to present got to present their garage band videos. In Phys. Ed we played bump to practice shooting and we practiced dribbling. At lunch we statrted our first week of coding club! We had our reading period or we could work on unfinished work. After reading we learned different ways to represent decimals. (La forme symbolique, en mots, en blocs de base 10, dans un tableau de valeur de position, et la forme développée). We made new desk groups. We finished with Weebly. Important Reminders:
Friday April 12th will be Varsity Spirit Day. Wear your VAS clothing or blue, red, and white to show your school spirit! We are finishing up our Social Studies project this week in school. Students will have until Thursday April 18 to hand it in if they need more time to work on it at home. The checklist for everything that needs to be completed has been shared with students via Google Drive. Today we kicked off our weather unit with a Weather Watch presentation. Scientist Louise came to our classroom and did demonstrations/experiments with us all morning!
We did Science until Lunch- Emily We learned how tornados work- Jack We learned about the weather and what air pressure means- Seth We did experiments to create air- Damien We learned that hot air goes to the top, cold air goes to the bottom- Kate Cold water (or air) stays more grouped together than hot air that spreads out- Mira We learned how hail is created- Emma We learned about clouds and hurricanes and how they are formed- Sarah We learned that hot air spreads out because heat is energy - Hillary At the end we talked a bit about global warming- Jack and how it's up to us to stop it! - Mira We learned about chinooks- India We learned how hot air moves faster than cold air- Joanah We made a cloud in a bottle - Austin After lunch we read, and some students finished up their chemistry evaluations. After reading we organized our desks and the classroom, and we could buy prizes from the prize bin! Then we did Weebly and went outside at the end of the day. In the morning we continued to work on our decimal/fraction pixel art. We talked a bit more about decimal place value.
We continued our garage band projects in English. If we finished we put our songs into iTunes. Some of us played soccer at recess. In English we learned about metaphors and we completed a simile/metaphor activity or Mme. We had our spring photos taken! We had a game of silent ball and we finished in 43:27s! We had 30 minutes of independent work or reading! In Social Studies we worked on our written part of our projects. Some people signed up for the coding club, that starts Wednesday April 10th. Reminders: We will be correcting the rough copy of our French paragraphs tomorrow. Science Evaluation - Monday. Tomorrow is Super Hero Day! |
