2023 Class Information
Computer Use
As we have 1:1 laptops in our classroom, we will be building upon their prior knowledge as well as developing new skills. This will include a variety of activities including publishing skills in Word, PowerPoint and Excel, web design, file management, robotics, simple C.A.D., online literature, art and educational games.
As important as we see the use of technology in the classroom, we will still be working hard on developing our skills away from our laptops.

Behaviour Management
We follow the school BERNI rules to help us attain the safe, happy and including environment we all wish to be in.
Class Rules: The students created a list of rules for 5B in the classroom. These are displayed at all times. All students have agreed to abide by these rules and have signed the rules list to indicate their commitment.
We use STEPS in our classroom to encourage positive choices. The names of students making positive and negative choices are recorded on the whiteboard.
We also have our Shout-Out Awards in the classroom. Each week a student is awarded a Shout-Out based on nominations from his/her classmates.
