May 26th to May 30th

The start of our week was full with our final preparations for our Celebration of Learning. The students put the final touches on their food trucks and worked to fold and tape their two dimensional net into their three dimensional truck. The students were so excited to see their trucks come to life. For many, this final step was challenging as they worked to carefully cut and fold their trucks. We then did some work with three dimensional shapes including cubes, cylinders and cones as the students added toppers to their trucks.

Students then had the opportunity to create a digital version of their food truck using Canva. They learned that by thinking carefully through their logo elements and describing them with a good amount of detail, they were able to create a digital logo that very closely resembled their hand drawn work. We may have some future graphic designers on our hands!

Our Makerspace challenge this week was also connected to our trucks. Students were asked collaborate with their peers to code their robot food truck to navigate a road system making stops to get gas, pick up a parking permit and park their truck.

A huge thank you to all the families who came out to support our Celebration of Learning. The students were so excited to share their work with you.

Over the last two weeks, the students have been highly engaged in our gymnastics unit in physical education. They have been exploring a variety of balances and methods of travel, working to challenge themselves to utilize differing levels such as a low balance such as the splits or a high balance on the balls of their feet. They were extremely excited when they entered the gym on Monday and found the equipment set up. They have had the opportunity to try ropes, ladders, beams and bars. It has been wonderful to see how different each student approaches each piece of equipment. Learning Outcomes: I can understand that elements of movement are integrated through various combinations to create movement. I can integrate elements of movement in various physical activities. I can engage in physical activities that are enjoyable or rewarding. Questions to ask your child: What apparatus have you enjoyed the most? (beam, bar, ladder...) Is there an apparatus you have found challenging? What is a...

June 16th to June 20th

It is heard to believe that this was our final week week of the school year. The time has definitely flown past. Despite how close we are to the end of the year, the students have been working incredibly hard his week. We finished up our work in angles in math and the students completed their social studies research on The North West Mounted Police and early settlement in Alberta. Then, they worked to represent their learning in a Google Slideshow. This was a perfect connection to our Western Heritage Day where we enjoyed a pancake breakfast and afternoon of Western themes games with our buddies. We were also incredibly to learn about hoop dancing through a fantastic performance by Jay Genaille.

April 14th to April 17th

In Science, we moved into our next unit of study Earth Systems. We kicked off our unit from an in class learning opportunity. Our guest presenter introduced us to a huge amount of new information as we learned about the lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere. We learned all about the Earth’s systems and investigated how their interconnections sustain life on our planet! We discovered how water, sun and air support plants and animals on Earth and the responsibility we share in caring for our resources. We then learned how changes in one system affect or impact the other systems on Earth. The students were excited to create their own three dimensional models showing all four spheres. They cannot wait to bring them home to share with you. A huge thank you to Parent Council for making this presentation possible and to the volunteers who were so generous with their time and energy. We then worked to solidify our learning but taking part in one of the student's favourite activit...
