Hello Families of Fabulous 4/5s,

We have been learning about wetlands in science. We are creating an informational cube to help us teach each other about different types of wetlands. We have been learning about animal food chains in the wetlands. We also wrote riddles about different animals.  We will be sharing our learning on Iris (stayed tuned for more information in the coming week).

We have been learning about gorillas and are now using the internet to help us create posters to display all the information we have learned.

We are playing different games with our friends in math.  We are learning place value.  We finished learning about patters.  We drew a giraffe to help show animals that have patterns in them.  We learned the 3 different ways to write numbers.  We write them in written form (one hundred twenty-three), standard form (123) and expanded form (100 + 20 +3).  We have also used dice to play games, we try to beat the teacher in math (ask me how).

In Physical Education we are playing different tag games and playing badminton. We play RPS Tag, Line Tag, Octopus Tag, British Bulldog Tag.

We have been learning about the land with Ms. Watkins.  We walked over a kilometer last week to help us learn about the land. We learned about Charlie Windjack.  He tried to walk home but due to hunger, cold and no water he didn't make it. It taught us about Residential Schools and their impact on Indigenous People.

Mrs. Mahon wants you to know that Parent/Teacher Conferences are online next Thursday evening and Friday morning.  You will be able to go online to MyCBEAccount to book a time when you would like to chat with her about our learning.
