Hi everyone!
I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend!
Language
We are now heading into our poetry unit.
Math
In math, we will start translations and then move into measurement (area and perimeter…volume for Grade 5).
FAMILY LIFE:
The students will be starting Theme 3 (“Created Sexual: Male and Female”) in Family Life.
In Theme Three we will:
- explore the idea that we do not have bodies, we are bodies; God created us as body/spirit persons
- consider the major systems of the body, and learn that the reproductive system has unique characteristics
- learn about the adult female and male reproductive systems and about human fertility in adult women and men
- discuss the physical changes of puberty, as well as some of the emotional and social changes
- Please return the permission forms for Family Life.
Next week is the Grade 5’s field trip to Carleton University. Forms are being sent home today and will need to be returned as soon as possible.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Gill
I hope everyone had a great weekend! Two of our students participated in the “Diefenbooker” Run on Saturday and ran an amazing 5km! I am very proud of them and all of their training in the Running Club helped them reach the finish line in record time! 🙂
This week is fairly busy, and we will be finishing up our websites. Students have been working hard on these and they look very professional and are informative about many issues happening in the world.
In math, we are continuing 2D shapes, angles, and geometry.
In science, we are working on Structures in Grade 5 and Gears and Pulleys in Grade 4!
This week:
Monday: Engineering in the Learning Commons
Tuesday: Running club at 12:05 pm and Ultimate Frisbee practice at 8:00 am.
Thursday: Freezies are being sold at recess!
Friday: Grade 6 Bake Sale and Jump Rope for Heart (remember to bring in your pledge forms)
Have a great week!
Mrs. Gill
This is a message from the Jump Team!
Dear Parents,
We are so excited to launch our Jump Rope for Heart event which will take place on Friday, May 5th during the last block of the day! Please read below for any pertinent information you may need concerning the day.
First of all, we will begin at approximately 2:15 with all children outside jumping rope and having fun!
Should there be a need for a rain-day we will suspend the Jump activities and give parent and teachers ample notice to have the event under optimal conditions.
Please send pledge forms and money to school with your child by no later than Friday, May 5 in the morning.
FRIDAY ATTIRE. Children should BRING THEIR OWN ROPE. We have a large number of ropes, however, we doubt there will be enough for everyone to jump at the same time. Gym clothes and Athletic shoes are highly encouraged as well as hats and Sunscreen + Water Bottles are important.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
The Jump Rope for Heart Grade 4 Team!
