Short break...

Over the next few weeks the grade 5/6 class will be preparing reader's theatre plays to present to the rest of the school.  This week during our literacy centres we are reading Robert Munsch books and by Friday each group with decide which book they would like to turn into a script.  As a result, our blog may not be updated regularly.  Sorry for any inconvenience!

Art session

Yesterday we had two amazing artists from the AGNS Yarmouth Branch, come in and teach us how to do two amazing art pieces. Their names were Esther and Virginia.  One of the pieces we made was prints of leaves, the other one we made was made with water paint on pelxie glass and we could do whatever design we wanted.At the end of the art session we copied the water painting from the pelxie glass onto a piece of paper.

The First Snow Fall In Carleton

This is the first snowfall at our school.(shown above)It was snowing but now it is not. We hope there is more snow because we have crazy carpets and we sled down the big hill. We also have a snow sculpture contest in the field outside!! The snow is very awesome. Posted by: Zach, Nolan, and Jesse.

Fruit and Veggie Mania

This month our school is doing a fruit and veggie challenge. Every serving is one sticker. Whatever class has the most stickers at the end of November wins a free trip to the bowling alley.

Taking Time to Remember

Today we had our Remembrance Day Service.  Before we walked to the cenotaph, we were fortunate enough to have some visitors come to our classroom and speak about the military.  Mr. Gavel answered questions about his time in Korea during the Korean War.  Everyone was very respectful and we enjoyed hearing the poems from each class and the songs sung by the choir.

Hello Grade 5/6!

Hi everyone!  It is Mrs. Wallace writing to you from my hotel room in Liverpool!  I hope everyone has been working hard while I am away.  I have been hard at work here in Liverpool with lots of other teachers marking the grade 6 math and literacy assessments you wrote back in September.  I am looking forward to seeing you all on Friday.  Take care and see you soon.  :)

Volleyball Mania!

Today in gym our grade 5/6 class started a new unit on volleyball. We learned how to volley and  to bump.A volley and a bump are different moves to hit the volleyball over the net. We also learned how to serve the volleyball.  It was really fun but it was also hard on the wrists. Sooner or later we will be really good at it.☺

Jellyfish Art

We finally finished our jellyfish art projects.  We made the base out of the bottom of pop bottles, and the tentacles are made out of yarn and string.  We had lots of fun making these and they look great! Mrs.Wallace is very proud of us.

Hockey with Czech Republic!

Today we had a visit from the Czech Republic Jr A hockey team. They introduced themselves (some in English and some in Czech). Then after that we played a game against them. We were not sure of the score but there was a 'fight.'  (Check out Nolan in the top picture!)  The school went crazy.  Afterwards the team signed autographs for everyone.  It was an awesome experience!!!! Thank you so much to the Czech team for coming to our school! Posted by Nathan,Nolan,Savannah,and Lindsay. 

We will remember

Next Friday we are going to the Remembrance day service. A retired teacher named Mrs. Landry put up this poster to remember all of our veterans. Starting on Tuesday we are going to write letters and postcards to some of the veterans in our community. They fought for our freedom. Posted by Zach,Sarah,Sara, Jesse
