It has been a very busy September in the Grade 5/6 Class!

Our highlight for the month of September was The Amazing Race Kingston. We were split into three groups and given a set of clues and a map. As a group we had to navigate around downtown Kingston to different landmarks.

We got a picture with the Kingston sign, made a wish in the fountain at Confederation Basin, toured City Hall, saw some artwork at Martello Alley, and visited different statues and memorials. After the race we celebrated with some ice cream and gelato in the park! We had a lot of fun learning about the history of Kingston.

In class we have been learning a lot too! In Social Studies, we compared different types of government. In Science, we learned how to use a scale and a graduated cylinder to accurately measure the mass and volume of different solids and liquids. Gym focused on soccer skills which prepared us for the junior and senior soccer tournament.

October is going to be another busy month. We are looking forward to fishing, camping trips, volleyball, going to the Corn Maze, and working on our Science Fair projects.

We can’t wait for some more adventures at Lakeshore School!!
