Time Travellers, Graphing, Hummingbird Story & Simple Machines Projects

Hello, 5B families!

In Math we have been learning to create double bar graphs and derive insights from them.

In Science, we have had our first “Simple Machines Project” presented. Ansley shared her Lego world with a working pulley system and wheel and axels. Projects are due for presentation on June 10th.

In Social Studies, we have been exploring Indigenous stories. Today we read and analyzed message in the book “Flight of the Hummingbird” by Haida artist, Michael Nicoll Yagulanaas. Students made connections between this story and Catholic social justice themes.

In Social Studies, we have also continued with our “Time Traveller Report” presentations; keep scrolling to the bottom of this post to see some more incredible videos and photos from our travels to other times and places! You will be inspired!

Take a moment to enjoy Sarah’s beautiful recital of the Brandon Lake song, “Gratitude”—this song has been a favourite of 5B students this year! Beautiful playing, Sarah!
Continuing our unit on prayer in Religion class, students took time to select a sticker and quietly reflect upon its message and write about their insights and connections.

Coming up next in Math, students will learn about transformations (reflection and rotation) and prisms and pyramids through some hands on arts activities.
