Dictée pour le 22 novembre

Here is the dictée for November 22.

La première neige
Les enfants sont contents.
La première neige tombe dans la cour de l'école.
Les élèves ont hâte de jouer dehors.
Ils regardent toujours par la fenêtre.
La cloche sonne enfin !
Vite, ils mettent les habits de neige et ils sortent dans la cour !

Warming Up our Circulatory Systems

We are moving on to the respiratory and circulatory systems in science. To begin, we engaged in scientific inquiry to come up with an experiment to test our circulatory systems. We learned to take our pulse, looked at an overview of the circulatory system, and jumped around or did other physical activity  to get our heart rate up.

Here are some of us increasing our heart rate!

Dictée pour le 15 novembre

Voici la dictée pour le 15 novembre. Here is the dictée for November 15.

Le matin
Dring, dring, dring, dit le réveil.
Je pousse les draps.
Je me lève.
J'ôte mon pyjama.
Je lève le store.
Bonjour, soleil !
Vite! du beurre sur mon pain.
Au revoir, maman !
L'autobus m'attend.

Flashback to Hallowe'en

Here are some pictures from our Hallowe'en fun. What great costumes!

The annual Hallowe'en costume parade. Thanks to everyone who came out! 

We had playtime with our kinder friends.

5-21 making the rounds!

Making Music with TiBert

We also had the chance to make music with TiBert. He taught us about sounds and vibrations, and then we jammed!

Maisons at École Robert Browning

The first maisons meeting at ÉRB happened this week! M. Vermeylen has more information on his own blog. Matt & Noelle from 5-21 were joined by students from other classes. Together, we decided that our maison would be called "Maison Aigles" (Eagles). Here we are!

Everyone else from 5-21 is representing us well in rooms around the school. M. Vermeylen has posted the full list of all the cool maison names!

TiBert le Voyageur

The St. James-Assiniboia School Division's Integrated Arts program brought TiBert le Voyageur to our school this month! M. Sorokowski had the pleasure of seeing TiBert at an event before - and he always impresses. This former voyageur shared with 5-21 stories, music, and games. We learned lots about the life of a voyageur, which ties in beautifully with the topics in Grade 5 Social Studies.

Here are many pictures of TiBert's first and second visits to our class. He showed us lots of different objects from the days of the voyageurs. We then played a trading game. We had a BLAST!

Going for a ride! Voyageurs used ceintures fléchées to help them carry heavy items. They could also use them to help move injured voyageurs quickly!
