Mixing Playdough

Today we talked playdough!  We all got our own little container.  We traded part of the playdough colours.  We mixed our playdough colours and they turned different colours! .  We even get to take the playdough home.  BUT Mrs. Saunderson says we have to make some sight words with the playdough!

Tomorrow is our Remembrance Day ceremony.  If we wear a uniform to Sparks or Scouts, please wear it to the assembly.  It will be a quiet and respectful ceremony. Assembly begins at 10:30 am.  Please join us.

Brooklynn lost a tooth today!

Book order is due on Friday, November 13.

Mixing Colours!

Will water walk across to the other jars?

Look what happened!  We made new colours!

In science, we painted mice and mixed up colours.  We read a book called Mouse Paint. In our science experiment, we made water walk to change colours.  The empty jars filled up with new colours.
Luke ran the calendar.  We know tomorrow will be a Zero the Hero Day because we will have been in school for 40 days.
In math, we did Mathletics.  We also did 'before and after' numbers.  Ask me what number comes before 15 or what number comes after 11.  We used a number line to count to 20.  
We had a lake walk for gym.

Primary Colours!

We learned about primary colours.  They are red, yellow, blue.  Primary colour means that no other colour can make red, yellow or blue.  Primary colours can make other colours.  Red and blue makes purple.  Blue and yellow make green.  Yellow and red make orange.  We mixed all those colours together.  All of the primary colours mixed together make black.

We are starting to read a book about a pig.  The book is Charlotte's Web.  We think that there is a spider in it too.  The pig's name is Wilbur.

Happy Halloween!

Treats from a classmate!

The Witch's Run!

We had a great day at school!  We shared snacks with friends, watched a play by the high school students, had a school parade AND Halloween centers!  Wow - we were busy!  We loved the Scavenger Hunt and we liked carrying 'eyeballs' on a spoon.  It was fun to dress up Grade 5s like mummies with toilet paper.

Have a safe Halloween night!

Remember that Monday's morning snack should still be a 'Brain Food'.  Candy treats can be for a lunch dessert.

Food Bank

Remember to help the We School students and bring a food bank item!

1 more day until the Halloween parade!  If you need special face paint or hair, please wear it in the morning.  We will wear our costumes after lunch.  We will go trick or treating on Saturday.

Can I bring an item for the food bank?  Madame Polege and the WE school are collecting items for the food bank.

We have a new Leader of the Week.

Pumpkin Carving Day

Voter turn out was 100%!

Serious consideration!

This pumpkin measured 5 cubes high!

The results are in!!!!  We tallied and counted.  The most votes were scary eyes, triangle nose, sharp teeth mouth!

The day started with Mrs. Q-W!  We had a class vote on our pumpkin face.  We had to fill out a ballot with our favorite face.  We put our ballot in the voting box.  We then tallied our scores to find our favorite face.

We counted the seeds (there was 230 seeds), we counted the ribs (13 ribs), we measured the height (11 cubes).  Mrs. Saunderson is going to cook the seeds tonight and let us try them tomorrow.

Did you know that a pumpkin FLOATS?  It was amazing that a big pumpkin could float.

Scavenger Hunt

We had a scavenger hunt. We were learning how to read a map.  If we read the map correctly, we found a letter.  We had to go to the office, the gym, the library, a classroom!  We did not get lost!  The letters spelled the word BELONG.  We belong to our school group!

We made witch's legs for a pattern.

We have a note about Halloween activities on Friday.  Please return dental hygienist note.

Pumpkins and witch fingers!

We are learning about patterns.  Patterns repeat over and over and over.  A pattern could be a heart, square, heart, square.  Patterns could be in color.  Patterns are important.

We are learning about pumpkins.  Today we used witch's fingers to read every word.  We use a witch finger and then we won't get mixed up when looking at words.  The witch fingers are plastic!

A note about the dental hygienist and yearbook went home today.

Applesauce!

 Today, we made applesauce.  First, you need to wash the apples.  Then you peel the apples.  After, we all got to chop up apples!  We put them in pot and added cinnamon and sugar.  It cooked all day.  It smelled good.

We tried the applesauce and 12 people loved the applesauce.  4 people did not like it.  Thanks to Eloise's mom for bringing the apples.  We have the recipe in our Take Home Folder.

More bats and a new Prime Minister!

 We learned that a bat can eat 600 mosquitoes in one hour.  We cut out 600 bugs!  It took a long time.  Bats are real. They use echolocation to find bugs.  Bats are awake at night that means they are nocturnal. Bats have sharp teeth.  Some bats have their own place to hunt.  Bats live in a roost and the roost could be in a cave.

Trace told us that Justin Trudeau is our new Prime Minister.  We live in the province of Alberta.  Alberta is in the country of Canada.


PICTURE ORDERS ARE DUE MONDAY!
