On December 21 (Wednesday), we will be having our next Spirit Day. Students are welcome to wear funky clothing or ugly sweaters. Can't wait to see what ideas the students come up with. Pictures coming soon😊.
Students looked closely at some Vincent van Gogh paintings today. This helped them to learn how to respond critically to artwork based on texture, use of colour, and details.
Today the Grade 4s experienced how to budget for a trip to a restaurant, to buy holiday gifts, or go shopping for groceries. This helped them practice addition and subtraction with decimals in a fun way.
Our Grade 6 students are making snack packs for the Mustard Seed.They are accepting donations of individually wrapped items accepted like granola bars, goldfish crackers, Bear Paws, bottles of water or juice boxes. If you can donate, please drop them off at the school by Friday.
In Math, the Grade 4 students worked on subtracting decimals. They first represented the process with Base 10 blocks. Then, students double checked their answers with standard algorithm. Can you tell which block represents the ones digit?
The Grade 4s started making box cars today. Tomorrow they will decide where to put the axle to make the car move efficiently. Students will also decide which size of wheels work best.
Students had a great time during our S.T.E.M. Spirit Day today. This week the Grade 4s have been learning about levers in Science class. They were able to use what they learned to design, build, and test a catapult. Their goal was to make a pom-pom fly as far as possible.
Students have now entered the "You Do" phase of our exciting beginnings practice. Each student independently chose which beginning to use and the topic to write about.
Students have been learning about the different classes of levers this week. Can you come up with an example of each type?
Students have been writing exciting beginnings this week. We started with sound effects, then moved on to a question, dialogue, and descriptive language. After each writing time, students were given the opportunity to share their stories in the Authour's Chair.
Reminder: No school tomorrow due to Parent Teacher Conferences. I can't wait to meet more families on-line tomorrow😊
Students started making their own songs in Music class this week. Ask your child to share their song with you.😊
Reminder that Parent-Teacher Conferences are on Thursday night (4:00-8:00pm) and Friday (8:00am-1:00pm). They will be held virtually. Please sign up for a conference using your PowerSchool account. Hope to see you then😀
In Science, the Grade 4s are learning about Simple Machines. Today we organized rollers to make the work of transporting a heavy load easier.
Tomorrow is Photo Retake Day! Please let the school know if your child needs retakes!
To celebrate Métis Week, students created pointillism art pieces. They were inspired by the Métis artist Christi Belcourt's work. Each student included a “spirit bead” somewhere in their piece. This reminds us that we all make mistakes and that's okay.
In Science, students have been learning about the six simple machines: wheel and axle, inclined plane, screw, pulley, wedge, and lever. Now, they are transferring this knowledge into designs for a compound machine.
Today we acknowledged and learned about the National Indigenous Veterans Day. We discussed the contributions that were made by Indigenous people and the challenges they would have faced. We also created our wreath for the Remembrance Day assembly on Thursday.
Students worked on some addition Mental Math strategies this morning. They needed to put the numbers 1-9 in a pyramid shape to add up to the 15 at the top. Students quickly noticed if the numbers they chose were too big or too small.
Yeah! The sun came out for us this afternoon☀️😎 Students learned the game Giants, Elves, and Wizards. They found that running in the snow was great exercise.
