Week at a Glance

A few students had the opportunity to go with Mrs.Klatt to Wetaskiwin for a cross country track meet. 

As we continue discussing perseverance in health, students learned the story of Temple Grandin. They also had a chance to do their very own blind study like Temple on cattle whorls and temperament. They each had a chance to make a prediction, based on their new knowledge of whorls, what they think our incoming heifers personalities would be! They also picked some names to put forward in the naming contest. 

After much anticipation and patience, we were finally able to test out our weather vanes and anemometers outside! 

We continued our exploration of ancient inventions and recreated an image of one of the many Roman aqueducts.

The gym was full of laughter during the Edmonton Epilepsy Association puppet presentation "New Kids on the Block" where students learned what epilepsy is and how to support someone who is going through a seizure. 

JB Farrier Services was kind enough to come out for the afternoon and teach the grade 5s all about being a farrier. Students asked insightful questions about the importance of hooves and how to become a farrier. They loved getting to see him in action and were amazed by the amount of smoke.
