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.

January 2020

We were doing English centres. Some were making snow globes and some were reading on RAZ-Kids. We also got new words to study, played Bananagrams and wrote about what makes our family special.



This is our bulletin board. It tells the story about how we got stuck in a snow globe. There is a picture in the snow globe.



For a few weeks we have been working on projects about animals. We presented these projects on Keynote, with clay animals and with posters.



We were exploring different furs from animals. A student brought them in for us to see. The fur was really soft!



We were learning about forces and seeing if we can hold things for 30 seconds without dropping them. We learned about the force of gravity.



We were testing to see if different objects were magnetic. Metal sticks to the magnet. We also tried magnetizing paperclips.




We were looking at pictures and trying to find what is different and what they have in common. The pictures were all of Australia and we also learned about the flag and the language. Even though they speak English, they use different words for things.



We are reading about a subject for our French speeches. We had to write 6 paragraphs so we had to become experts on our subjects first!



We used our notes to write our own speeches. It was fun! Next we will practice so that we can present it in front of our class.



In math we are learning multiplication! We use strategies to help us.



We were making graphs. Everyone used their own survey to collect data and create a bar graph.



Constable Cross came to talk to us about online safety. Ask me what I learned.



Grade 4 students were so lucky to go see Frozen Junior!



Our Indigenous Educator, Cindy Swampy came to visit our class a couple times this week and talk about our differences. She read us a really good book called, Same, Same but Different!




Today we started our TIA sessions with some dancing from the 90's! We will continue these lessons next week. Ask me what my favourite 90's dance move is.
