Learning Outcomes

Science 

Describe the properties and interactions of various household liquids and solids, and interpret their interactions.

Design and carry out an investigation, using procedures that provide a fair test of the question being investigated

 What Did Students Do?

This week, students participated in a science experiment. The question that they were trying to answer was "what liquid will turn a Lifesaver candy into a solution the quickest?"

Students used three household liquids; vinegar, water, and vegetable water to determine the answer to the problem. Each student predicted what they thought would happen and wrote a hypothesis. Throughout the experiment, students took observations based on their senses, specifically, what they saw, heard, and smelt as well as creating a diagram with detailed labels. 






Ask Your Child:

- What was your hypothesis? 

- What was the results of the experiment? 

- Was your hypothesis correct? 

- Why do you think that liquid turned the lifesaver into a solution the quickest?

- Why do you think the oil did not have an impact on the lifesaver?

Blog Post 3 September 12th - 16th We had another great week in grade five. It was our first full week and went by so quickly! Learning Outcomes English Language Arts: Create Original Text Generate ideas to use texts from listening, reading, and viewing experiences as models for producing own oral, print, and other media texts What Did Students Do? The grade five students are organizing and putting on the Terry Fox Run. To do this, they have done a great deal of research about Terry Fox and the "why" behind the run. Students have read books, listened to stories, and watched videos to learn about Terry Fox. With that information, they have taken notes, shared school wide announcements, and created posters. We discussed different ways to share information and students identified talking, signing, writing, pictures, and more as ways to do this. They determined that when sharing information, it needs to be clear and interesting. They then created a target to ensure their posters w...

Blog Post 24 February 27-March 3 Learning Outcomes English Language Arts: -I can write or represent meaning of text in different forms. -I can use grammatical structures, verb tenses, and conventions in my own writing, and apply a variety of strategies to assist with my spelling. What Did Students Do? We met together as a large group and read the first chapter of the book, The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes.  We then discussed our task of creating a podcast based on our summaries of the chapters of the book.  Mrs. Sampson gave students an example of a podcast summary to show them what was expected of them.  She then played her sample podcast and students shared feedback on what was good and what could be done to improve the podcast.  "You should read more quickly at the beginning so it doesn't sound creepy."  That was definitely a favourite suggestion and the student wasn't wrong.  After all feedback was given and it was determined that Mrs. Sampson shoul...

This week, students did their summative assessment for their novels.  They chose a selection of text from their novel and wrote an in depth summary based on events, characters, and setting.  We have worked on many summaries throughout this learning cycle.  This was a chance to share what they have learned.  Students were asked to self assess themselves based on the rubric we have been using over the past few months. We will be finishing our novels over the next few weeks and will start a new reading cycle in January.  Family Connections Ask your child: -What novel have you been readin...
