Parents of NLS are hosting a dance on June 8 from 6-8 pm. Students should have brought home an invitation this week.... if they somehow jumped out of their bags on the way home, the information is here for you. 

This week was cultural appreciation week! Students took time to teach us about their culture/hometowns. It has been so enjoyable learning about these places. We also explored a wonderful website called Free Rice. It's linked in Google Classroom, check it out! 


We have been working on writing our 5 paragraph essays in Social Studies. The students are informing the reader about the indigenous people around Canada and how they use the resources.

This week in Science we were exploring the surface tension of water! We conducted 2 experiments, one where we were able to make a paperclip float on water, and one where we counted how many water droplets could fit on a penny. 



We have continued to add to our Doodle Books while we read City of Ember! They are wonderful representations of the important highlights of each chapter. 


We have started exploring area and perimeter in Math this week.



In Phys.ed we moved from Badminton to Pickle Ball! 







FIELD STUDY FRIDAY FUN: 
The grade 5's collected the Area and Perimeter of spaces around our school yard:

Important notes:  1. Library starts next week 🩵   2. Terry Fox Run = Next Thursday 🏃 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We focused on Growth Mindset this week.  After watching some videos on Growth mindset, and learning about ways we can practice this in our daily lives, we created skits!  We learned a new word game...Maybe I can teach the family. It's called, "Camping Trip!" Ask me about it.  We are working on using the sound wall to spell big, hard grade 5 words. While working on vocabulary this week, we learned the meaning of the prefix "trans; across or beyond". We used this knowledge to make sense of words like, transcribe, transportation, translucent.  We are also making a "What if Everybody Did That, Vol II" - ask me about it!  We are working on Place Value in Math. We learned a game called Junk It, and we are completing daily decimal practice to coun...

  We explored some nature kits to prepare for our Field Trip next Thursday. We observed castings of skulls, foot prints, scat, and feet.      In Phys. Ed we are doing gymnastics! We practiced travels, balances and partner balances.          We celebrated Cultural Diversity Day on Wednesday. We designed flags, and many students wore their cultural clothing.            This linked well to our Social Studies learning, about how Canada is so diverse now, but how did that come to be?! We are learned about Samuel De Champlain (the father of New France), John Cabot and Jaques Cartier. They claimed land for England and France. This started the European settlers... We are working on Historical Skits about this too!  In Math we are working on Area and Perimeter, and discovering how 2 shapes can share the same area but have different perimeters.  We also focused on finding the measurements of sides when given the ...
