Hey Everyone, check out our latest blog post to see how much we are missing you and how we are ensuring we are staying a safe distance from each other!

Hello Students! I miss all of you...Stay safe and help your parents!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

What an incredible day of learning at the Inglewood Bord Sanctuary!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

What do you know about what you do well? What do you require for your learning? This “understanding myself as a learner” task has been an absolute blast! Stay tuned for our upcoming book...

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

What makes an event significant? Students sorted major events from last year and co-developed criteria. We also used guiding questions from iris to begin thinking about ideal learning spaces that we’ll craft later in the week!

Grade 6 students began their space coding project while the 5s shared personal stories that are ‘significant’. Students also explored place value and played around with really large numbers!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

The 5s used our anemometers to measure wind speed around the school. The 6s examined data to create a double bar graph showing how much daylight we have throughout the year.

We took our first stab at creating some animations today! Check out the instruments to measure weather and the phases of the moon!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

Students learned about air movement in out troposphere through a demonstration of heating and cooling fluids. We also used the magic planet to inspire the 6s in their upcoming study of the solar system!

For Family groups on Friday, students supported each other as they used Kinex to build Bey Blades - what an empathetic group!

Feedback Friday went home today! Please take some time to review your child's writing in IRIS. Leave them a comment so you can be part of the conversation, too!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

The students in grade 5/6 studied effective instructions and built a number of stations for the students across our school to use at lunch today. We sure have some great leaders in room 107!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

The students didn’t miss a beat! We jumped back into cloud guides and Athenian democracy- we also explored types of flight and learned to tell stories in scratch!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

Happy holidays to all! I can’t wait to see you in 2020!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

Hey Team,
Over the break if you're looking for something to create follow this amazing link... There are so many Tinkercad projects you can do... AND when you get back, share them with me and we'll print them at school!!

Hungry Hingry Hippis got a bit intense this morning... We also finished up some research for the airplane contest tomorrow and read a bit further in the Giver - which we’ll watch parts of tomorrow pm... it’s going to be a great day :)

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

What does a classroom look like mid day when the kids run off for lunch?? Today was an active day of learning - the students examined symbols of Athens, the CPR, clouds (Weather forecasting “Pocket Guides” have started), and expressions versus pattern rules in math!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

Remember that tomorrow is Holiday Hat Day!!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

A beautiful day of learning. Students used loose parts to reflect on their learning. Next, we build out artist statements to support our conversations!

[Ron Southern Grade 5/6 @RonSouthernsch5]

Hello Parents! For Feedback Friday, students went home with the books they have created - they are eager to share their work with you! Please help them remember to bring them back on Monday, we need them for our upcoming learning! Have an outstanding weekend!
