Nose Hill

WOW! We had a beautiful day at Nose Hill Park!

Students engaged in learning with the land. 

They had time to reflect and explore!

A HUGE thank you to our volunteers for joining us at Nose Hill Park.

 

Sixth and Seventh week of learning with Ms.Piper

 Happy Thursday and long weekend!

Last week in Literacy we finished up our informative writing and have now moved on to autobiographies. Students wrote about their background, families, interests and hobbies, and goals for the future. Then they created a self portrait. I loved learning a bit more about everyone, especially what they want to be when they grow up!

In Math, we have spent the last two weeks continuing to learn about geometry, focusing on classifying triangles and quadrilaterals and learning how to transform polygons. 

In Science this week and last, we are learning about living systems- animals and plants and the classifications that help identify them.

 For health, students created medicine wheels, sharing the different ways they support their mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual health. 

If you are going to the dance tonight, hope you have a stompin good time! Have a wonderful long weekend! - Ms. Piper

Fourth and Fifth week of learning with Ms.Piper

Happy Friday! Just a reminder that the school dance is on Thursday May 15, from 6-8pm. It is a Western Round Up theme and costumes are encouraged! The cost is $15 per family and all students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

For writing, students have been learning about informative writing and how to use facts and not options to inform readers about a topic of their choice. They also practiced their editing with a focus on creating new paragraphs for a new idea and indenting. 

In Math, students have started the geometry unit! We learned about angles, polygons and how to use protractors. 

In Social Studies, students picked a Provincial or National Park within Alberta and researched information about its region, landforms, vegetation, animals, recreation, and tourism. They also created post cards that showcased the beauty of uniqueness of their park. 

In Art, students used their knowledge of angles and created angle art! With a ruler, sharpie, and some bright colours, they made some unique and beautiful drawings.

Hope you have an amazing weekend and are able to enjoy this incredible weather! - Ms. Piper
