T.W.A.S.
Last week, we were so fortunate to have Elevate Lacrosse here for a week of instruction from Coach Dan. We've continued our lacrosse skills in gym and had played outside with our Buddies. Today was the annual Teachers vs Grade 5 Lacrosse Game. The weather was perfect and it was a hard fought game - there is some dispute as to the final score! We do know that this was the highest scoring Grade 5 team in history!
In art today, we each designed our own flower petals and then painted it. Check out your design on Iris! They will be glued together to make a collaborative mural.

Telus Spark Field Trip
On Tuesday, our class had the opportunity to explore the Telus Spark Science Centre! We first took part in a program called "Sparking Circuits" where we experimented with different ways to create circuits. After that, we had to investigate the different exhibits and the amazing outdoor space. These are the highlights from the students:
A.M. - walking on the tight rope
N.E. - playing in the park, especially the swing
K.T. - trying on the different costumes in the circus area
B.G. - bungee jumping!!
M.B. - the outdoor slide
N.F. - the area where you could build your own dress
And so much more!! Thank you to Mrs. Dana, Mrs. Jennifer and Mr. Ken for all your help today!

T.W.A.S. (April 8-12)
This Week At School (our first week back from Spring Break!)
NF - We had a Spring Concert on Thursday. We played ukuleles and 3 songs. Our class wrote the lyrics to a song, called "The Video Gamin' Blues." The recorder club played a song and other Grade 3, 4, and 5 students performed. We are sharing the concert with the school today (Friday).
HS - For art, we used chalk pastels to create a Northern Lights picture.
KT - We watched a video that showed how the Northern Lights are formed by the electrons and solar winds.
MA - Our class met with our buddies to practice skipping and hula hooping outside.
AE - For Language Arts, we have begun to work on poetry. So far, we have practiced Haiku, Diamante, and Acrostic Poems. We will be creating our own Poetry Anthology with these.
OR - We have also started a new novel called Iqbal.
NC - in Science we had to write down all the things in our house that use electricity.

This Week At School - April 15-18
We continued experimenting with different types of poetry this week; Limericks, Free Verse, and Found Poetry. We may have had the most fun with Found Poetry - here are some examples from the students:
Today, some very kind students gave up their lunch play time to dawn a pair of gloves and pitch in to clean up garbage from the back field. The school thanks you for your help!

Diversity Conference
The Grade 5 students were fortunate to be able to participate in the 15th Annual Diversity Conference at Bob Edwards School. The day started with a keynote address in the gym featuring speakers and dancers from 4 different cultures. From there, our class took part in 2 different workshops: My Language, My Rules; and World Peace Village.
Not only did the day give us some great information and conversation, it was an opportunity for the Grade 5's to experience their "next year home"; which is an important step in the transition process. While they may feel nervous, they hopefully were able to see the theme of the conference in action:
