November

Here is our spooky Halloween party. We ate yummy snacks and they were awesome!


Here we are working with a partner making sure we have capitals and periods in our work. We also made sure that our writing made sense so we could put it in our good copy of Marvellous Me!




Here are our peace doves and poppies for Remembrance Day. We wrote about stuff that means peace to us. We learned about our rights and responsibilities. We remembered the book Nelly McClung and how she fought for women to have the right to vote. We watched some videos about people having equal rights. For example, in one video a child went to school with no lunch. It was very sad.


This when we were making our Makerspaces structures. These two talented teachers read us a story first. We thought about it and then we made our creation. Some of us worked in partners and some of us worked alone.









This is when we were swimming at swimming lessons at the Civic Centre. We learned dolphin swim and how to help people when they fall out of a boat or into the water. We learned about how to get warmer if you're cold in a lake. We had so much fun and we got lots of exercise!








Here we are learning about some music. The instruments make different sounds. We are learning about the symphony.


Here is when we were reading with our reading buddies. We read using the iPads and we were using RAZ-Kids. Some of us were reading in Mme Pelletier's class and some of us stayed in our class.




In math, we are working on patterns and diagrams. We put little people in our Venn diagram based on their category. 

In French, we have been writing a lot and we have been singing songs too. We also read a book and are working on a class book about if we were an animal, which animal we would be.

October

Here is our October post!

We made an apple and on the apples we put things about us so that people could get to know us better.



We made animals with leaves. First we tried to make the animal with the leaves and after we glued them. We also did turkey art. We coloured them and cut them and then we put them together. We made them for Thanksgiving.


We made monsters. We cut paper out and made them with shapes. We wrote a paragraph in French about our monsters. Try to find our monster!



This is our compass adventure! Compasses tell us where north, south, east and west are.



We are learning about static electricity. We were using a balloon to make static electricity. Hair, plastic straws, string and paper stuck to the balloon.





We were learning about putting leaves under the paper and doing a leaf rub. We are looking for texture in our artwork. Afterwards, we made our animals with the same leaves.






This is Robin Chestnut. You would think he does magic, but he doesn't. He is a very talented man.


Our teacher had to ride the unicycle and she was scared but she did it! She felt good afterwards and was happy. We practiced juggling with Robin in the gym. We started with one ball, then two and finally three!




We learned that same poles repel on a magnet but opposite poles attract. We have been studying forces.



Here is our last visit learning about mindfulness and empathy.


Here we are painting the sky for our tree project.



Here we are ripping paper and gluing it to make the trunk.


Here we are painting the different colour leaves with q-tips.


Here is the final project! Guess which one is ours!



We also read books by Tomie DePaola. Ask me who Strega Nona is!

In math we have been working on more patterns and addition. 

We are looking forward to our Halloween party on Monday!
