Week of February 2nd

Here’s our recap from this week!

Reminder: No school Thursday/Friday next week!

In art, students participated in an art critique featuring a diverse range of artists from around the world. They practiced observing details, sharing interpretations, and respectfully responding to different perspectives.


In math, we collected data by surveying classmates and organized results using frequency charts, bar graphs, and dot plots. We wrapped up the week with a fun unit review, taking part in a stem-and-leaf and dot plot relay race in teams.





We finished our class read-aloud Fish in a Tree and spent time reflecting on its messages. In writing, students wrote diary entries from Ally’s perspective, imagining key moments from the story through her eyes.


In PE, students were introduced to curling and worked on strategy, teamwork, and controlled movement.


In heath, we learned about healthy relationships and types of peer pressure with ReStart!

What a wonderful week in 5D! 🌟 We are becoming coordinate-plotting pros!  This week, we built our understanding of the coordinate plane by graphing points, creating shapes, and applying our skills through a Battleship activity using ordered pairs. Students practiced accuracy and spatial reasoning while having fun with the challenge! Our  flight unit  took off (literally!)  We launched our flight unit with paper-airplane testing and design challenges, exploring how different shapes and folds affect flight. Métis Week Inspired by the visual art and teachings of Métis artist  Christi Belcourt  from Manito Sahkahigan (Lac Ste. Anne, Alberta), students created their own beautiful dot-art pieces. We ended the week with creativity, laughter, and of course… a little jigging!    See you next week 5D! - Ms. Hildebrandt

Students explored a variety of historic aircraft during our guided tour. Some class favourites included the Quickie 2 and the impressive Avro Lancaster . After the tour, we headed into the Rocket Lab where students built and tested their own launchers, experimenting with how thrust affects flight. Procedural Writing Back in the classroom, students applied what they learned in the Rocket Lab to strengthen their procedural writing skills. We reviewed what makes detailed step-by-step instructions effective—specific verbs, precise descriptions of size and location, and clear organization. Math: City Planners at Work In math, students continued designing t...
