Pumpkin Math

In the morning the Grade 5/6  students will be joining up with the Grade 4’s from Mr. Hancock’s class to have some fun with pumpkins and Math. We will be measuring pumpkins, weighing pumpkins, counting seeds, estimating and graphing everything there is to know about pumpkins. It will be a fantastic morning of fun and mess!  Students will wear their uniforms on Monday but will need to bring a large shirt to wear over their uniforms as it’s going to get messy!  Students may also bring some kitchen gloves  if the squishy insides of the pumpkin gross them out!  They will need to get their hands in the pumpkin ‘goop’ so please bring kitchen gloves if needed.  We are also in need of about 6-7 pumpkins for Monday.  If you are able to provide a pumpkin (it won’t be returned) then please let Mrs. Derksen know by THURSDAY of this week.  And, lastly, I would love a couple of parents to help out on Monday morning.  We will be starting right after morning devotions and be done by noon.  If you could let Mrs. Derksen know by Thursday that would be great!

Cell Projects

Just a reminder that these projects are due next Monday, the same day as our Pumpkin Math!  It will prove to be an exciting day in the grade 5/6 classroom.  It is my hope to set our projects up in the Dragon’s Den from 1:15 – 2:00…please feel free to come by and see these amazing cell projects!

Empty 2 Litre Bottles

The grade 5’s are making models of the respiratory system next Tuesday and we are in need of three more empty 2 litre bottles.  If you have any sitting in your recycling bins, please send them to us!
