Earlier in the week 5-1 tested out snowshoeing! It was a lot more work than students thought and ended with an impromptu snowshoe aerobics class 😂 @PAF_ps
Thursday, Jan. 26: All schools are open. School buses are cancelled. Be advised that it may be necessary to combine classes. Parents who keep their children at home when schools are open, MUST report this absence before the school day starts.
We have started our patterning unit in math. Today, students were asked to make a pattern with tiles and describe the pattern rule. We had examples of growing patterns, shrinking patterns, and repeating patterns. @PAF_ps@HDSBMath
To test our learning about changes in matter, students have been tracking the evaporation from this cup of water. Students were surprised at how much water evaporated over the winter break. @PAF_ps@HDSBScienceTech

The gym wasn’t available period 4 today, so it was a great excuse for some fresh air. First, we checked out the new learning garden. Then, we enjoyed a neighbourhood walk & some students were very excited to pass their homes. We all started our afternoon feeling refreshed.😊
Students are working on showing the background and foreground in their artwork. Today, we created the first step in our winter mittens art piece: the background.
Students were introduced to 4 different types of sentences that they could use in their writing. This week, we took a closer look at declarative and imperative sentences. Students used their editing skills and then identified the sentence types in the given paragraph @PAF_ps
This week we explored angles and compared the angles we made to our benchmark angles of right angle, half right angle and straight angle. This helped us estimate angle size before introducing protractors @PAF_ps@HDSBMath
Today, we kicked off our new math unit about angles by searching for angles on our playground. They were everywhere! We also determined our benchmark angles as right angles, half right angles and straight angles. @PAF_ps@HDSBMath
5-1 was excited to exercise their right to vote in the @CIVIX_Canada@studentvote. We’re curious to see how our results compare to the overall student vote and to our municipal election results. @PAF_ps@HDSBElemProgram
Today, 5-1 were introduced to Omnikin balls. We played ‘No Hands,’ ‘Start your Engine,’ ‘Indiana Jones,’ and ‘The Train.’ It was such an entertaining gym class with lots of laughs and participation! @omnikinofficial@PAF_ps@HDSBElemProgram@HDSBElemAthl
