January Update!

We made Inuksuks and northern lights. We used chalk pastels. 

It took a long time to make dots that represent beads on our mittens. 

Here are our stuffies! We brought them to school on pyjama day.

This is Jessica's boat! We all made a boat out of foil paper. We used marbles to test the boats and we hoped they wouldn't sink. 

This is a hogan. We built it in groups of 3 during centres. 

Here is an arch. It is the doorway to an igloo. 

This is the design centre. We explored many shapes and First Nations designs. We built totem poles out of cardboard rolls. 

We built tipis using sticks, leather strings and saran wrap. 

We made roofs out of pipe cleaners. We tested their strength. The strongest one was the spider web shaped roof!

Swing it Baby! We counted how many times the baby swung depending on how far we let the swing go. 

Here is the totem pole stencil.

The last centre was playing Tangrams on the iPads.


We have many math apps on the iPads now! We are working on multiplication. We are writing fractured fairy tales. We learned how to hoop dance in the gym. Robert Munsch is our French author study. We learned about what scribes and pharaohs did in Ancient Egypt. We are working on an art project in music for the symphony.
