After too long a break I am back and we will resume our regular postings.
This week the class is working on finishing and mailing their letters for the Great Canadian Mail race.

We are also learning about the body and specifically the respiratory system in science.

Lit Circles are in full operation with the students reading many different stories. I hope we will see some of their work posted in the next few days.

In socials the grade 5,s are completing reports on how, why and when different people came to Canada. I am looking forward to the oral presentations next week.

Congratulatipns to the class you did an excellent job singing. And hold your breath, I believe our class surpassed all the others in bringing in food for the Food Bank. Five boxes to date, well done! Now have a great break, enjoy your time with your family and come back to school ready to work.

What does Christmas mean ?
I think Christmas means family to me. if you don’t have a family you wouldn’t have gifts and candy canes no chocolate. What about all the fun and getting together with your family the night before Christmas and no gifts . So thats what Christmas means to me

Snowball fights

              Snowball Fights

 

       My dad and I each year on winter we have snowball

fights.

2 years ago my fort was about 1 metre high.

I just destroyed my dad’s fort with a really giant snowball.

Then I started throwing snowballs at my dad like crazy

it was so fun.

He threw a ton of snow balls at me but I just

ducked under my fort.

I owned him.

Literally.

What is Christmas?

What is Christmas?          By Kianna S.           

I think Christmas is about family traditions. My family and I celebrate Christmas with my mom making a nice lunch and dinner. Every Christmas my brother and I have to wake up at least at 8:00am. Usually about 2 weeks before Christmas we set up our artificial Christmas tree and then we decorate it with our favourite Christmas ornaments and Christmas lights we enjoy.  On Christmas Eve I can’t ever go to sleep because I’m too exited for Santa to make a visit and give my brother and me gifts. Santa is a jolly man in red and white wears glasses and has a beard he rides his reindeer with Rudolph in the lead with his red nose light and stops at every house in the world, jumps in the chimney because he’s magical and leaves you presents in your stocking unless your naughty then he gives you a lump of coal. He lives in the North Pole. Santa gives my brother and me gifts in our stockings and on the floor for big gifts. Before we go to bed we leave Santa milk and cookies. Christmas is the best holiday to celebrate for my family and me. This is what I think of Christmas.
