The Grade 5's went on a field trip to Heritage Park this week to
explore wetlands. Students had a great time pond dipping and looking closely at
a variety of invertebrates. Using illustrated reference sheets, they were able
to identify a number of the bugs. They also learned how Indigenous groups
within Alberta and settlers used water sources and the impact water had on
their way of life.
In Social Studies this week the class learned about elements of
mapping and how keys are used to identify different symbols found on maps. The
focus of Math was around representing numbers to a million using place value
blocks and words (writing numbers). Students researched what producers,
consumers and decomposers are and created a food chain in Science. Check out

currently learning in class.
