Upcoming Field Trip:





Dear Grade 5 Families,

We’re excited to announce that our Grade 5 students will be heading on a Field Trip to Nose Hill on Thursday, May 29th for a day of exploration and learning in nature. This will be a self-guided trip, giving students the opportunity to engage with their surroundings and apply their classroom learning in a hands-on environment. Thank you to Parent Council for generously providing funds for the bus fees. 

We are looking for volunteers who have a current security clearance to join us and help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all students. Your support would be greatly appreciated!

More details about the trip, including times and what students will need to bring, will be shared closer to the date.

If you are available and interested in volunteering, please let us know by replying to this email.

Thank you so much for your continued support!

Sincerely,

The Grade 5 Team

Northern Lights School

We learned a game called Junk It, and we are completing daily decimal practice to coun...

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 ...
