Recap and Looking Forward

We are one month away from our Outdoor School Experience and we could not be more excited! We have been having conversations in our classes about the spectacular things we will be up to and learning about at Camp Chief Hector. Forms are going home next week with all of the information ($280/child)

This week, in Hums students have been busy with a multitude of different activities. From having a classroom election (5-2, Current Events News activity created by a student), to creating our Alberta Proud Commercial props. Next week, we will be filming our commercials to capture all of the great things our province has to offer.


CTF has been an incredible community building experience. 5-1 students have been exploring balance while 5-2 got to check out the foods room. We prepared the dough, and each student made their own pizza.

Math: Our focus in math is to develop a greater understanding of place value. We are writing riddles to challenge each other in this area.

Science: Each student has explored an extreme weather phenomenon. Using watercolor techniques, we are creating a visual to represent the phenomenon.
Work completed includes:

  • Greenhouse visual and slides
  • Water cycle visual and description
  •  5 types of Wetlands description page


Check out our pictures! Have a great weekend!
