Our school year has ended, and we wish the best for the grade 5s going on to middle school, and best wished to the grade 4s entering their final year at Lakewood.
This year was full of learning and growing, and we hope you have a great summer!
Our students signed our white board on their final day, marking their place as Division 3 this year.
Hello Div 3!
Last week our school held a spring showcase, where each division had the opportunity to share their learning with the community. Our class had 8 displays to show what we have been learning about these last few months. Below are some pictures of our displays.
Acrostic name opens using adjectives to describe ourselves.
Upcycle art using recycling materials to express our imagination through creation.
Our human body and the many systems we rely on to live.
Our natural resource booklets about the many aspects of BC’s natural resources.
Our beautiful paintings.
Our storyboards which we plan to turn into children’s story books.
Our posters about the various rocks and minerals we have learned about.
Our rock the vote campagn, with some student tweets sharing some political platform. As well as our French menu booklets.
Hello!
Our students are in full gear heading towards the election on Tuesday! This week we learned about the importance of voting, and along with the other grade 5 classes made some campaign posters to get out the vote! By Monday we are hoping all of our students are ready to make an informed decision and participate in our student vote. Like our posters say: Get out your coat so you can go out and vote!

Each night students have the opportunity to participate in an activity at home, where parents sign off after, giving students a chance to win prizes at the end of the week. The information went home today in a GREEN notice.

Hello!
Our class has just started our natural resource unit for Social Studies. They will be creating 4 small projects for each natural resource we look at (Energy, Mining, Forestry, and Fish). Eventually we will be creating a booklet out of our information. I have attached the criteria for students to use while gathering information, as well as some info packets on each resource, and the templates for their projects (Students pick 4 of the 6 templates to use). Our Energy projects are due the 23rd, Mining the 1st, Forestry the 3rd, and Fishery the 8th.
