Month: November 2018

On most Wednesdays you’ll find our class outside connecting and extending our learning through exploration of our natural environment and other hands-on activities. Our first Math unit was on patterning, and here we were finding patterns in nature, and building patterns using found items.

Did you know that two thirds of B.C.’s population is located in the area of the Fraser River basin? Div. 5 is hard at work learning about this important local and natural resource. On this sunny Wednesday, we went out to visually show what we have been learning about rivers. In their groups, students added details such as estuaries, and Mount Robson (the headwaters of the Fraser River). They also showed their understanding of how we use rivers by putting in details such as boats and fishermen.

We have been hard at work, and wanted to share some of our learning experiences since September. We started off with a ‘getting to know each other’ activity in which we used modelling clay to express our likes and dislikes. The students followed up this activity with a written summary of their 3D visuals.
