Hello Families,

There is no school tomorrow as School Conferences will be taking place. If you haven't booked your appointment, please go on-line or call the school, as I would love the opportunity to chat with you about your child's progress.

This week we started listening to the book, 'The One and Only Ivan,' written by Katherine Applegate. We will continue this novel study for the next few week. We conducted research into animals that prefer to live in family groups, as well as animals who lead a solitary existence.

In math we are focused on multiplication and division. Please help your child learn their multiplication tables, as this makes math so much easier for them. We practiced our multiplication and division knowledge through spooky art math. 

We have started learning about Waste in Our World in science. In social studies we continue to focus on Alberta and Canada - this week we have been learning how Aboriginal people hunted Buffalo and how they used all the body parts. 

In gym we finished our focus on Basketball skills and will be using frisbees next week to practice our throwing and catching skills.

We have been uploading some of our work to IRIS for you to see at home. Take a look at what your child is especially proud of.

Hope to chat to you tonight or tomorrow morning. Have a lovely weekend.

Mrs Coldbeck and the Grade 4/5 Students of Room 14
