Probability

Grade 5 students are enjoying playing games to learn about the concepts involved in probability. They are learning how to use the terms, "certain," "equally likely," "more likely," "less likely," "impossible" and "possible" when describing various outcomes. This week each child created a probability experiment to show their understanding.

In Social Studies, the class is engaging in research on the 6 physical regions of Canada. They are learning about the people, climate, natural resources and landforms that can be found in each region. Next week, they will begin a group project to showcase their knowledge of the regions with Instagram posts. Students began a project in French to create a zoo using the vocabulary they have learned so far. In Language Arts, we are still learning about parts of a sentence and how to correct fragments. The students are loving participating in the science experiments during our chemistry unit. This week they were able to observe the reactions that occur when powders and liquids are mixed. Finally, the class is participating in a kindness challenge where they are attempting to perform 16 random acts of kindness before the Christmas break. Everyone is enjoying being the recipients of this challenge!
