Great Happenings in Grade 5A

Student-led Conferences

Thank you to all parents for showing your support for your daughters. The students were thrilled to present to you their learning and progress throughout the school year. 

Persuasive Writing

Students wrote persuasive topic of their choice; made a claim and gave several relevant reasons. We used library and online resources to find evidence that supported reasons.  After completion, students were divided into category groups that relates to their topic. Each student read her persuasive piece to the class, and the class evaluated the effectiveness. 

PSA (Public Service Announcement Group)

Anna:    Do you text while driving? Do you know it is wrong? It can danger not only your life, but also the others' lives. It is illegal, and it gives a negative influence on younger generation, especially teens or young adult who are about to or just got their license. In this piece of writing, I will talk about why I strongly criticise texting while driving. 

Sudiksha:   Ever wondered what some celebrities died from? It all ended badly. It is a good chance at making you closer to death. It also destroys your organs and you will loose a lot of money. It will get worse unless you say no to drugs. 

Sales Group

Sonal (Sales Group):    Have you ever wanted a life long companion, or have you ever wanted a stuffed animal with your color and personality? If yes a Care Bear is what you need! They are cute and cuddly, a great buddy, intelligent, fantastic gifts for everyone to enjoy, and as well as come in various colors, sizes, and personalities. 

Activity Group

Lisa:   Are you one of those people who find swimming too hard, boring and pointless? Well, you couldn't be anymore wrong! Swimming literally is used just when you are paddling at the beach!I'm not saying swimming is not hard thought, it can actually be tough and stressful. But once you hit the water, you forget all that stress while you glide through the water with the water brushing past. So to the people out there who look down on swimming, get ready to be convinced!

Cat and Dog Group

Tanaya (Dog Group:  Are you searching for a perfect dog for you? Well maybe you would like a French Bulldog! If you like easy going and clownish cute dog, then you should definitely get a French Bulldog! French Bulldogs adapt to their family and houses very quickly, they have good temperament, they teach you responsibility, they are playful and fun to have and they come in amazing colours!

Karen (Dog Group):  Did you ever think that you want a dog, but most of it will not listen to you or make you happy? Well, you should get the Irish Setter. It listens to you, is super easy to train, and will make you always happy and more. So if you are interested in getting an Irish Setter, read more interesting facts about it. 

Additional Group

Azumi:   Should cell phones be banned in the late night for children and teens?  Yes, cell phone n the night would make them stress and make their brains wake up. Many children would wake up in the late night and play games and watch videos secretly. Parents should have responsibility on this too. The choice is:  To hide it from the child or ban it for a week. This problem might make them sleep while in class and get expelled Children should note use their phones in the late night.
