Grade 5 celebration!

Today we had a great time at UPuttz, celebrating the end of Grade 5! Thanks to PAC for helping us out with the cost of the field trip. We played unlimited lazer tag, bumper cars, and glow-in-the-dark mini golf! It was so much fun!

Field trip to Fort Gibraltar

Today, we had a great field trip to Fort Gibraltar. Our tour guides were amazing and we really felt like we were experiencing life as a Voyageur. The highlight was visiting the blacksmith shop and watching part of a chain be made before our eyes!




Hope you enjoy the video . . .

Best Monday ever!

We had an adorable start to the week this morning! Tara from 10 Acre Woods brought 6 week old Sheldon to BHS for our "Kiss a Goat" Assembly! Mrs. Palamar won by a landslide, but then she pledged $50 on the spot for the 2nd and 3rd place winners to also kiss the goat. Soooooo, Ms. Jeffery and I got to smooch Sheldon too! Soooooooo cute!

Thanks for your support in donating to this fundraiser! We raised $414, which allows us to purchase 8 goats for families in need through WE Schools.

Who will KISS A GOAT?!

The SPIN Club has introduced our newest campaign with WE Schools. We are participating in "We Create Change" and asking for students to purchase a ballot for $2 for the opportunity to vote on 20 staff members to kiss a goat. Every $50 raised purchases a goat for a family in need. When we ran this 3 years ago, we raised $360, and Mr. Hargreaves was the "winner"! Hahaha

An assembly will take place on Monday, May 28 to announce the winning staff member and how much money was raised. I can't wait!  :)

A rainy Friday!

We had indoor recess all day on Friday . . . but I don't mind! We really needed the rain, PLUS, hopefully this means that the weather for the long weekend will be great! We've had a busy week . . . just wrapping up social studies presentations on European explorers, and tackling science. I think learning about the human body is my favourite unit in science for Grade 5!

On Tuesday we had a substitute Ms. Calver she's really nice, she even gave us an option of KITKAT fruit roll ups or Smarties because we were being a good class. Well we had the substitute did the first bus evacuation of 2018 we had it well we were in music so it was a little bit of a surprise. but it was good they mostly talked about safety and stuff like that. 

On Wednesday we had another substitute Ms. Henry she's really nice too. We also had hand writing  we learned j, z, x, and q they are really easy and cool we can almost write anything that we can spell so its really amazing that we already almost now all letters in handwriting.

Spring is finally here!

Well, we all think Spring (finally) arrived this week! The weather sure warmed up by Thursday! We even spent some time cleaning up the school yard, in honour of Earth Day coming up on April 22nd. We wrapped up our unit on forces and simple machines this week and will be soon moving onto learning about the systems of the human body. We are still working on our social studies projects, started a new strategy for multiplication and did a few writing prompts. On Wednesday, MTYP came to our school to present "The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe" to staff and students.

Here is Haylee's TWAS from her kidblog account:

On Monday we had weekend wind-up!!! I shared about my fun weekend!!! I love weekend wind-up!!! Another thing we did was BHS reads. I am reading five books at the same time!!! And I've started all of them!!! Ms. Wasney said that if she read that many books at the same time she would get them mixed up!!!

On Tuesday we got to go on the laptops because Ciera won it for us!!! We also started our earth day art at the same time!!! The things you need to make it are: Shaving cream, blue paint, green paint, paper, a squeegee, scissors, a pencil, a circle tracer, a sharpie, red paper, a cookie sheet, black paper and a glue stick. It was so fun and I would rate my art 3 out of 5!!! First you have to spray the shaving cream on the cookie sheet. Then you drizzle a LITTLE bit of the blue and green paint on to the shaving cream. Then take your piece of paper and tap it on the shaving cream. Then you drag it across the shaving cream. If you want more color then you can drag it again. Let it sit for five minutes then scrape the access shaving cream off with the squeegee!!! then you can let it dry for a few hours. Afterwards you can use your tracer and cut the piece of paper with the shaving cream and glue it on your black paper. Cut out a heart on your red paper then write a message on it! You're done!!!

On Wednesday we had the people from MTYP come and do a play for us! It was called The lion, the witch and the wardrobe!!! It was a great play!!! Another thing we did was social studies!!! I am researching Henry Hudson for my European explorer!!! I am working with Faith!!!

On Thursday we had a substitute!!! We had BHS reads!!! the same five books!!! Another thing we did was math. we worked on multiplication!!! It's pretty easy for me!!!

On Friday we have no school and I don't have any plans yet!!!
