Hello NLS Families! Today was an exciting day as we went on our Field Trip to TELUS Spark! We had a chance to have a lesson about electricity where we got to test out many different devices, circuits, etc. We also got a chance to explore around the various indoor/outdoor exhibits, which was really amazing! Thank you so much to our volunteers! - we truly appreciate you! See some of the fun we had below!

Hello! My apologies for the delayed blog posts, I was dealing with some health concerns this week (I am ok now, just was feeling quite unwell all week). Today we:  continued to work on input output charts, and turning this data into linear equations - see photos below.  did reading groups, independent reading, literacy centres and our daily word work learned about static electricity wrapped up our mini-unit on Indigenous peoples in Canada (as a broader part of our unit on the different people and stories that are in Canada) - see photos below.   

Hello! Today we: practiced out basic facts and learned/practiced more about linear equations did read to self, literacy centres and reading with Ms. Clark played "Guardians of the Castle" in PE - ask me about this! learned all about circuits in science and actually got to make them! See photos below: Reminders: Field Trip to Telus Spark on Thursday! Bring Lunch bag and water bottle, shoes and jacket. Photos:  

 Hello! Today we: learned about "linear equations" and input/output charts (and graphing)! We will be practicing this all week did read to self, literacy centres and word work went outside for gym (ask me about the game we played)! did a mini-research project about an indigenous celebration (called a potlatch) did an art critique about dot art! Reminders: Field Trip on Thursday, April 27th 2023 to Telus Spark Photos:

Happy Friday! Today we: practiced our basic math facts, and continued to work on patterning (input output tables, algebraic expressions and pattern rules) finished our mind map in social studies (ask me what a mind map is) did a community walk and garbage clean up (see photo below) finished our health unit Reminders: Field Trip - next week on April 27th 2023 to Telus Spark Photos:  

 Hello! Happy Thursday. Today we: continued to learn about patterns in math with input and output tables (and relating this to algebraic expressions which we learned about in term one did our independent reading, reading groups with Ms. Clark and also did literacy centres (see photos below) learned how to take mind-map notes today in social studies (see photos below) - we discussed how to read/listen and determine what facts are important - then, we placed it all on a mind maps continued to learn about health Reminders: we are going on our community walk tomorrow (please see email for more details)- please dress appropriately! tomorrow is wear "blue and green" day for earth day! don't forget to bring a litterless snack tomorrow!

Hello! Today we: started learning about our new unit in math - patterns. we took a note about tables of values, and practice solving pattern problems. Ask me about this! watched the 3 finalist videos for Minecraft! finished our anthropology activity in social studies played "snowman down" in gym continued to learn about health Reminders: Community walk on Friday Wear blue and green on Friday Field Trip- April 27th Photos: from the anthropology activity!  

 Hello! Today we: tallied who brought litterless lunches/counted our garbage and who walked to school did an earth day pledge - ask me what my pledge was! practiced our basic facts played "snowman down" in gym learned about short circuits in science class  did an "anthropology activity" in social studies, where we had to look at pictures (from things in the past) and try and guess what they were/how they were used. Tomorrow, we will finish this activity and find out what all of the items were!  continued to learn about health!
