Hello NLS Families!

Today was an exciting day for our Grade 5 classes as we went on a walk to Nose Creek Park! Students were able to observe a wetlands area, and sketch the area and make a few jot notes about what they saw.  It was a great morning! We will further discuss this tomorrow when we continue to learn about wetlands in science class.

 Today we practiced our spelling and printing by writing wonderful holiday cards for seniors! 5A wrote lovely messages, outlined in sharpie, and festive pictures coloured and detailed to bring joy and kindness. We also compared our estimates of each population in Canada to the real data taken from 2020. Students were surprised to see how close and far their guesses were. We continue to research food chains of wetland animals and students are beginning to record their research in a flipgrid.

While exploring the intricate system of the Wetlands, we dove into a heated topic about protecting the land and creatures who depend on it. After watching a visually enthralling read aloud of The Lorax by Dr. Seuss, 5A were tasked with writing a letter to either the Once-ler or the Lorax with their point of view on the situation. They were meant to emphasize the greed of the Once-ler and how the need for trees will affect multiple parts of life in the area. Everyone could comprehend the harm that the greed was causing and the need for oxygen needed for things to live. We also made a pledge to spread kindness and shed light this holiday season and wrote our pledge on Christmas tree cut outs.

  Today in Grade 5, tensions were high as the challenges brought out the importance of teamwork! In math, table groups were paired together and given a set of math manipulatives to attempt to build the tallest, toughest, and most triangular towers. Teams had to communicate, share, contribute, and rotate between multiple avenues to do these team building exercises. The tallest tower came in at 38 inches, and the triangle tower got extra points for spelling the word "triangle" with the blocks. In Phys Ed, relay teams raced to get the most laps between groups, and the highest lap count was 72! An amazing Monday for these little Nuggets, great effort team!
