Hot dogs, sausages… Yum!
Sitting around a campfire, roasting a hot dog is tons of fun. But have you ever wondered how the average hot dog is made? Watch this video, then add a comment to this post with your thoughts. In your comment please share:
Student-led conferences are one of my favourite features of the PYP. It’s an opportunity for students to really take control, and demonstrate their understanding of their learning, parents to get a snapshot of their children’s school lives, and teachers to watch their students interact with their families. So many great insights! 🙂
Thank you all for coming out today. Please enjoy these photos and don’t miss Amelie and Rachel’s short film!
These are the 5R documentaries. So the idea of these documentaries is that we first made a list of some topics that we would like to make our documentaries about. Â After a week MR Raskin made teams of 3 or 4 people. Together we chose a topic that we would like to make our documentaries about. After that we started researching. We gathered facts music and photos. When we gathered our facts we started to film. We did not have that much time to finish our documentaries.We had to edit them, we had to agree were we would put the music, which parts we are going to cut out and we had to keep track of time. It was a challenge for all of us but at the end we finished them and all the documentaries are amazing.

How much packaging do we recycle and throw away?
This weekend Grade Five has a challenge… For two days, 48 hours, collect and clean the packaging materials from your family’s food. Then bring it in to school on Monday to add it to our “Mountain of Food Packaging”.
Yes. This means for two days you will ask your family to help you collect and clean all the wrappers, boxes, bags and tins that would otherwise be recycled or thrown away. Please leave the glass bottles at home, we don’t want to have to worry about broken glass!
Start collecting packaging when you wake up on Saturday, January 23. Finish with the final packaging from Sunday, January 24th.
Don’t forget to bring it all in on Monday… Tuesday will be too late!
For 48 hours, don’t throw me out or recycle me… Clean me, dry me and bring me in to school!
Last week 5R spent some time learning about some environmental aspects of our global food systems, in particular, we explored the idea of a carbon footprint, and food miles. This led to a discussion of how we could reduce the carbon footprint of our food, and one suggestion was to eliminate the transportation carbon by purchasing it locally.
So, on Friday we walked over to a local farm that we knew had a little vegetable stall. On the way we had a look at the llamas and geese that they farmed, as well as the greenhouses and irrigation systems. At the food stall, each student chose an ingredient, we added all the decimal prices and made our purchases.
Returning to school on Friday, we didn’t have enough time to cook, but we did make and share a big salad. This morning, we booked the kitchen and put together a huge vegetable soup, as well as some delicious roasted pumpkin and squash! Yum!
What else can we do to reduce the carbon footprint of our food?
Enjoy the photos in this folder.
Just a quick post to say that, late in the coming week, winter is forecast to arrive.
Therefore students must please bring:
Indoor shoes (can be the same as indoor PE shoes),
Snow gear – no snow play is allowed without snow pants, jackets and gloves.
I’m happy for all these things to be left at school.
Thanks!
Dear 5R Families,
Since the beginning of the school year, students have been asking about the possibility of bringing their iPad home at times. With ongoing projects such as the Nanowrimo writing project, the time has come to take a more serious look at this option. It is the view of the Grade 5 team that there are situations where it makes sense for students to be able to take their iPad home. To be able to do this successfully, however, there are several factors that must be agreed to.
