Our School Ground is a Habitat?!

On Friday, we spent some more time working on Science. We talked about how plants, animals and humans interact on our playground. Many of us didn't realize that our school yard is actually a habitat!  It was an excellent opportunity to take a look at something we may sometimes take for granted in a completely new light. Here are some pictures.

Meet Mr. Pickles

Meet our new class pet, Mr. Pickles!  After participating in the democratic process, we finally came to a name!  It was an excellent chance to learn how to share our own ideas, listen to the ideas of others, and give constructive feedback!

How Do Animals and Humans Survive and Thrive?

We recently started our first unit in Science.  With the help of Ms. Bell, our Teacher Librarian, we will be learning about "How Animals and Humans Survive and Thrive".  This big idea incorporates the Grade 4 Cluster of Habitats and Communities and the Grade 5 Cluster, Maintaing a Healthy Body. We will be doing some activities as a whole class and some activities in smaller groups lead by the teachers. 

Here are some snapshots from our work today!

Great team work, everyone!
