Our week!

It was a busy week in 5D! We finished up our measurement unit with a house design project, and worked on story writing all week using different pictures to prompt our ideas! 



In art, we learned about relief printmaking and got to make our own by carving into printmaking blocks! We learned proper technique for carving, and will continue practicing our inking skills for the final copy of our bookmarks!


















To end the week, we spent some time with our Grade 2 buddies giving feedback on each other's writing, and did some reading together!





See you next week 5D!

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

The invitation link can be found on  5D’s Google Classroom . What a fantastic week in 5D! Field Trip! We kicked off the week with our field trip to the Hangar Flight Museum! 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...
