 What Did Students Do?

Welcome back students and families! We have had a great start to the school year. We have welcomed a number of new families to our Grade 5 class this year. Warmest welcome to the new families here at Andrew Sibbald School.


In math this week, we started by playing the game SKUNK. This is a fun game involving addition and chance! We then began our Place Value work. In small groups, students represented numbers in various different ways.  They reviewed the names of place value numbers to the left of, and including, the ones place.  Students practiced being able to write and verbalize numbers up to 10 000 000 accurately. We started working with four digit numbers. 







In Phys Ed, we played a game called Tikki Tikki Coconut. It is a great game to build throwing at a target skills, teamwork, collaboration and communication. Students incorporated strategies for defence and offence.

Jan 13 - 17, 2025 Phys-Ed Students analyze and apply strategies and tactics that support improved decision making in physical activities. Students demonstrate how collaboration influences physical activity. What Did Students Do? Students were involved in playing various territorial and invasion games such as Two-Ball, Castle, Tail Tag, and Three Ball. For all of these games, teamwork skills and strategizing was very important. Students needed to collaborate, communicate, and cooperate in order to achieve success. They were involved in kicking, running, throwing, and tagging. Each team needed to focus on defense while defending their territory and offense while invading the territory of the other team. With games such as two-ball there were many things happening all at once so they needed to be alert and aware. Students were engaged and excited to participate. We stopped regularly to evaluate what was working and what we needed to change so students had a voice in how the games progress...

December 9 - 13 ELAL Students enhance the accuracy and artistry of expression through creative and critical thinking processes. Establish a plot, point of view, setting, and problem through creative writing. What Did Students Do?: On Monday and Tuesday, students were given a pre-assessment for narrative writing. Using a picture prompt they wrote a story about the picture. This gave us, as teachers the opportunity to see where our students are at with their writing and what next steps we need to take to further their skills in narrative writing. On Wednesday students examined the elements of a narrative story: beginning, middle, end, problem, solution, character, and setting. Students used graphic organizers to examine the parts of their own story. They then looked at non-examples of written stories and identified the parts that were weak or missing. Students finished the week by annotating the parts in an example of a well written story using different colours for each part.  ...
