On Monday, CRB had their final HOUSES event of the school year. It was busy! Three periods of movement activities, art tasks and a very special Geocache task. What made it special? Well, our class planned, designed, and built all the Geocache boxes and clues. Way to go class!

Our Grade 5 and 6 students are working through a new unit - learning to care for the environment. This is connected to our multi-year plan around being environmental stewards. We are learning how to plant flowers and vegetables - both outside and inside!

What. A. Day! Our CEO Marc biked over 100 km today through Halton to raise awareness and funds to help students of the @HaltonDSB with basic necessities and learning opportunities. Along the way it was wonderful to meet with a few of the schools who are fundraising for #HLFMonth!

Grade 6 students put together a variety of interactive products to co-teach other students about the responsibilities and risks associated with caring for themselves and others. They also showcased safety practices and procedures for responding to unsafe situations.

After watching
‘The Story of Us’ and reading through the textbook to take personal notes, Grade 5 students used the fishbone graphic organizer to analyse aspects of early interrelationships between First Nations and Europeans in New France.

Grade 6 students recently completed an inquiry project on Canadian settlement groups from the 1800s to present time. They created magazine articles as their media product. Then students had their peers review and take notes about what they learned.

We have been working on our geometry, measurement, and spatial sense skills. Small groups started by recording what they already knew about the attributes of different quadrilaterals. Then students did a gallery walk to affirm, add on, or challenge each other’s understandings.

We’re balling for Cricket! We were so happy for good weather this week to begin our Cricket unit in Phys. Ed. We started by practicing balling and hitting in the gym. Then we played Kanga Cricket outside. ❤️ Lucky for us, we have lots of students who already know how to play!

Grade 5/6 students using our Outdoor Learning kits to plan, organize, and design a Geocache activity. They loved using the tools in the kits - especially the binoculars, compasses, and measuring tapes!

Our CRB Tchoukball Tournament was a great success! Here are just some of the great photos taken of our team in action. These players rock! Thanks to our CRB Bobcats, for their enthusiasm and love of the game. ❤️

Thank you @crbps for your support & warm welcome! 100 km in, Marc is now in the home stretch of #TourdeHalton in support of @HaltonDSB students in need.

[Grade 5/6 Gifted @MsJenMachado]

Today’s Earth Day at CRB was fantastic! The sun was shining and everyone did their part. From pulling weeds to picking up garbage and from tossing seed bombs into the naturalization site to enjoying outdoor play, we showed CRB has a big ❤️ for the environment.

Ms. Lowrey’s Grade 5s invited our class to play chess using their personalized chess sets made out of modelling clay. So much fun!

[Grade 5/6 Gifted @MsJenMachado]

Looking for ways to engage students and make DPA meaningful? Have students create and lead the lesson plan, of course! Afterwards, peers evaluate each other’s lessons and provide valuable feedback. Best of all, they have fun in the process!
