Welcome to a New School Year!

The students in Room 164 have enjoyed getting to know each other and the routines of our classroom.  We all discussed what a peaceful classroom should look like and our peace poster is hanging in our room.  The importance of treating each other with kindness was also discussed and we participated in a powerful activity addressing the result of not being kind.

A good visual reminder

Weather Design Projects in Science

We have been learning about weather in science and as a final project we were assigned a design project.  Students chose a design project that has something to do with the weather.  They had to build it and practice presenting it to the class.  After explaining what materials were needed and what the purpose is for their design, students demonstrated how it worked in front of the class.  The presentations were interesting and useful.  Students are planning on using their designs at home.

Sabrina and Kaydyn made rain gauges.

 

HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!

EARTH RANGERS VISIT OUR SCHOOL

Today we had a special earth friendly presentation by the Earth Rangers.  The Earth Rangers tour schools throughout Canada. We really enjoyed the presentation.  Many facts about animals and extinction were shared with the students.  We even got to see a real live Pine Marten, Red tailed hawk and more!  It was really interesting and encouraging to hear and see what Canada is doing for the environment to help animals live in a healthy environment.

Earth Rangers is the kids’ conservation organization. The programs are based on research that indicates that the number one environmental concern for children across Canada is protecting animals from extinction. They believe that when children learn about the threats facing animals and their habitats, they are eager to help, but don’t always know how they can make a difference. That’s where Bring Back the Wild comes in.

We are hoping to all become Earth Rangers and be a part of such an important movement.  We know we can make a difference!

Welcome Back for Term 3!

Wow, it's third term already and Spring has finally arrived!  The grade 5's final term at EBEYS is here and it will go by quickly.  We will be going to the WSO, orchestra performance at EESS, orientation at EESS, Museum Sleepover and our Celebration at the end of the year.  There is still a lot to learn in our grade 5 program, so the students will be working hard to complete their final term.  It is amazing how they have changed in maturity and academics this year so far.  Presently, the class is enjoying Ms. Bell's 6 week block of teaching.  Ms. Bell will be teaching us about fractions, a novel study, poetry, all about the weather and many more topics.

Happy Spring everyone!
