February



We talked to each other about what we did on the week-end in French!



Gabriel Marchand, a news anchor, came to read us a book for I love to read!



We danced with Mr. Tyrell and we learned new dance moves from the 90's.



We were doing science experiments by rubbing our feet on the carpet to make static electricity. We also rubbed balloons against our hair!



These are the grade 4's practicing for cross country skiing.



Mme was outside for recess duty. We like to play Royal Dogs and fort building!



We used static electricity to pick up things and find out if they stick or not.



Mme Swampy read The Rough-Faced Girl and we learned that everyone is unique. Mme Swampy taught us about her beliefs and we shared ours.



We were looking in the atlas for places in Australia to add to our maps.



Here we are watching people dance. Each group did a different decade and we did the 90's.



We are presenting our story vines of our family to the class.



These are the grade 3's going to sing the choir songs.




These are our Australia paintings. They are silhouettes of Australian animals that we cut out and painted with Q-tips.



Here is another story vine. It took us a couple days for everyone to present!



This is when we picked a French book that we liked. There were some Elise Gravel books and Mme read us the ones that we have in the library.



Mr. McKiel taught us about polar bears and he also taught us how to use Book Creator so we could make our own books on the iPads.



In math we are working on division.



We are doing math centres with games. One is a number game and another is with Mme and the blocks.



Someone came to our school to play the fiddle for Festival du voyageur. She played songs and we danced.



We were reading our books in the library in the coin de lecture. Some students get to use the maker space every time we visit the library. Only six people are allowed at a time.



For festival du voyageur, we had hot chocolate and bannock, we did finger knitting, we did beading, we danced, we played bingo and we drew and played on the iPads because it was too cold to go outside for sledding!



Here we are reading books to our book buddies in the gym.



The grade 4 students did a relay race and dressed up as a voyageur at Oak Hammock Marsh.




We played tug of war on the log. Whoever falls off the log, loses.



We also went snowshoeing and we went a long distance. It took an hour and it was painful for some but also very fun! Some people fell behind with Mme, but eventually they caught up.




We saw a lot of cool things in the museum. We talked about beavers and the fur trade in French.



After school there were some entertaining stations to celebrate Festival du voyageur. The stations were baking bannock dough, making a sash and dancing and making music. Some people ordered pizza and drinks as well.
