Highlights December 6-10

 Bonjour! Here are some awesome highlights from our week!


In Social Studies, we had an AMAZING presentation from one of our colleagues who spent some time teaching in Nunavut! She was able to share stories of ways of life and show artifacts from her time there. We also spent some time journaling about what we learned! 



We also had a visit with Elder Saa'kokoto, and our artist in residence, Karen! Saa'kokoto told us about tracks, and how we can give back to Na'a by making beautiful art on the land. Karen then shared with us how to make art on the land using various materials! 









In science, we experimented putting thermometers in various places around the school to see if their temperatures would change. We then graphed our findings in math! 


In PE, we have been practicing yoga! It has been a very fun way to calm our jitters as we approach the break! 


Looking ahead...

 This week in art, we completed our beautiful pieces on leaf patterns!  In math, we look at number and practiced counting in various ways to 50. We also played a fun sorting and ordering game with our leaves looking at how we can sort them from smallest to biggest, by shape, and colour!  In science, we talked about ants and practiced labeling the parts of the insect!  This week in french, we wrote about what we are thankful for and used our patterning skills to create a beautiful journal entry.  In social studies,  we talked about rural communities and added to our mural to contrast urban vs. rural!  Looking ahead.... October 13th is picture day! Bring your best smiles!  Next Friday, October 15th, we are excited to go on a trip to the coulee! Be sure to dress warm that day and be ready for a great day in nature.

 We've had lots of fun this week in science continuing to experiment with magnets! We explored how magnets have poles, and how the size of a magnet does not necessarily correlate to its strength.  In social studies, we have been looking at symbols of maritimes and observed lighthouses and lobster fishing! Students have started an art project of a maritime scene that they are excited to share!  In FLA, students have been working on writing using picture prompts, and sharing their writing with others. Students have given feedback to each-other to help improve their work!  In math, students have been continuing to practice subtraction. They brought home some of the practice questions we did this week to celebrate with their families!  In P.E, we have started dribbling, striking, and other object manipulation. This week we focused on badminton skills in hitting the birdie to each-other; it was very tricky and fun! In health, we had a wonderful presentation from a fa...
