In Science we have been learning about the different phases of matter- solid, liquid and gas! We have been exploring different examples of matter in the world around us. Yesterday in Science, we went on a Matter Hunt around the school! We collected data about different forms of matter we found both inside and outside the school! Check out the pictures below!

On Friday, division 4 went on a field trip to Campbell Valley Park for a plant walk! Our day began in the classroom where Mrs. Gabrielle showed us a slide presentation introducing students to some of the traditional plant foods used by Aboriginal people. We traveled by school bus to Campbell Valley where we enjoyed the beautiful sunny day and got to walk around identifying some of the plants Mrs. Gabrielle had taught us about!
This morning we did a team building activity as a class... exit room style! Students had to solve a series of riddles and codes to unlock the mystery of the stolen crayons (based on the book "If you take a mouse to school" by Laura Numeroff)! Here are a few photos of the activity! Students had a blast!
Today, Aboriginal presenter Carman visited our class and taught us about the importance of the natural environment. We learned the many uses of different parts of the environment for Aboriginal people. He taught us about the ice age and how different land forms around us were created. He also taught us about different wild animals that can be found around Langley and how to treat them with the respect they deserve. Thank you for coming to teach us, Carman! You are a wealth of knowledge!

Today, Miss Cherry Elf our classroom elf on the shelf arrived on her own personal zip line from the North Pole! The students were excited to see her and loved the mini snowman eraser she left for each of them!
This morning in Language Arts, as Mrs. Johnson read our class novel "Holes", we paid close attention to visualizing the different scenes taking place. Mental pictures are the cinema unfolding in your mind that make reading three-dimensional. Visualization helps readers engage with text in ways that make it personal and memorable. Readers adapt their images as the continue to read. Students illustrated the different mental images they developed in their mind while chapters 34 and 35 were being read to them!
