October 20


A fantastic Friday!

Our morning began with assembly where we sang O’Canada. Then we had register followed by calendar, the weather and 100 days of school.

Next we had mathematics where the students continued activities related to our unit ‘Number Sense’. 

After that we had recess followed by our Show and Tell and UOI. In Show and Tell students brought in items from home that reminded them of our phonemes from this week.






In UOI the students continued to explore the healthy habit of a ‘washing’. As a class they recapped learning from the week and then designed a shampoo or hand wash bottle.

After that we had lunch and recess. Then, our afternoon began with P.E with Miss. Cranfield followed by Daily 5. In Daily 5 we focused on ‘Listen to Reading’ as our Grade 5/6 Reading buddies read to us.









Our afternoon ended with recess followed by UOI finishing off and choosing.
