Winter Wonderland - Cake information:
Our Winter Wonderland is this Thursday evening.  There will be several activities taking place at Davison School that night including a "Cake Walk".  Attendees will have the chance to win a cake by competing with one another.  Historically, all Grade 5 students at the school have been asked to donate a cake for the cake walk on Thursday.  This year, Mrs. Koval has asked us to do the same. 
If you can, please send a cake with your child on Thursday so this event will be possible. Cakes can be dropped off in the 500 classroom on Thursday morning.  If you have any questions, please contact the school.  :) Thanks!

Students, please note the following in your agendas:

Random Fact - Thursday

Muscle soreness – something I’m sure EVERYBODY can relate to. Even if you’ve never stepped into a gym, I’m sure that sometime in your life, you’ve done some sort of exercise/heavy work (mow the lawn, paint the house, wash the car, etc) – and experienced muscle soreness. Wanna know why you get sore? Then read on.
24 hours to 48 hours after a hard workout, most people begin to experience soreness in the body parts trained. This is called Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness, or DOMS.
DOMS is caused by tiny microscopic tears that occur in the muscle as a result of high intensity exercise (such as weight training, intense cycling, etc). After the workout, the muscle begins to rebuild itself (provided it is allowed enough time and nutrients to recover). This is the rebuilding process which creates new muscle that is bigger and stronger than before. In other words, your muscles are growing. Your muscles grow when you are at rest – not when you’re at the gym.
DOMS pain is different from the burning sensation and pump you feel during a workout and also different from the pain you get from an injury. DOMS is often used as an indication of a productive workout as it means you’ve trained intensely enough to break down muscle tissue.. and now, as a result, you will be rewarded with new muscle growth.
Beginners who have never exercised before would experience quite severe DOMS at first. However, the human body is an amazing thing and even the beginner’s body will slowly adapt to the workload and eventually – these episodes of soreness will be less severe. Remember the first time you blasted your biceps in the gym, only to realise that you could barely hold a pencil to write on a piece of paper the next day? Well, do you still experience such soreness today? Understand what I mean?
We need to constantly ‘shock’ our body with new routines and progressive overload in order to constantly and steadily stimulate muscle growth. Expect the soreness to return everytime you try something new at the gym though. ;)

More than 16 000 children in the U.S. and U.K. auditioned for the role of Harry Potter



Ultimately, the went with Daniel Radcliffe, a 12-year-old kid at the time who had very little acting experience under his belt. Of course, 10+ years and 7 movies later, audiences couldn't imagine anyone else playing the part.

A baby whale gains about two-hundred pounds a day


The blue whale is the largest animal on earth, ever. A big blue whale can be 100 feet long and weigh up to 150 tons. That's as large as a Boeing jet. Its heart is as large as a small car. Fifty people could stand on its tongue. Its spout shoots up at least 30 feet when it surfaces for air.

Random fact - Thanks Garrett!

What fish communicate through farting?

         Fast repetitive tick (frt) is the name scientists have given the high pitched buzzing sound coming out of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans,travel in large schools . Scientists think that herring make the sound to communicate at night. Because  most fish cant pick up the high frequency, herring can communicate their  location to one another  without alerting many of their predators.The exceptions are whales and dolphins.These keen herring mammals pick up the herrings FRTS and use the signals to hut the fish.

       Noise pollution
         with so many noisy ships engines in the oceans,noise pollution is a serious problem for many marine mammals.Killer whales that feed almost entirely on herring might not be able to hear the herrings farts and wont be able to hunt them as well.And noise pollution might harm the herrings  ability to hear and communicate with each other.
