February & March

Here are some pictures and quotes from the students:

We are making structures out of blue paper in these pictures. 

We had to make boats out of tin foil and test how many marbles it could hold.

Here we are with our book buddies and we had heart candy. We had to guess how many of each color there were. Later we got to eat them. We split them equally!

Our choir went to the festival and earned a silver medal!

Deanne read a book that was French and another one that was English!

Here we are a the symphony and they played lots of songs like the Olympic Fanfare and Frenergy! We didn't get to play music but it was really nice and it was super loud in the tenth row. 

This is when we made our hieroglyphics of our names. It was really fun because we got to see what they would look like. 

Minute to win it activities on the last day before spring break!!!

Junk in the trunk - try to shake all the marbles out! 

Chopping Block - pick up blocks with chop sticks!

Diving Dice - balance as many dice on a popsicle stick as you can! 

Balloon Bounce - keep all five balloons up in the air and on the carpet!

Festival du voyageur

This is us doing some voyageur activities for the Festival du voyageur! We did lots of fun activities with different people that we got to meet. One of our favourite centres was the one in the gym because you got to play tug-of-war and push people around on a mat on wheels and have pillow fights on a beam. We also launched bean bags that we were pretending were pancakes. We got to arm wrestle different people.
When we were sledding we were pulled by a grade 4 or 5 student. We got to eat bannock and hot chocolate while listening to a voyageur story.

January is I love to read!

Here are some pictures and comments from the students about January:

Mme Burnett read us a French dinosaur book about being fussy at the doctor.

Gem is a hearing dog. She is fantastic and she is good at listening.

Here is a picture of us playing the Ho Ho Ho game in December. We were using Sully's mitts and we had to unwrap several layers. It was really fun!

This is a picture of us when we went bowling. Some parents volunteered to come with us, it was so much fun!

Mr. McKiel came and read us a few books. He is an unpublished author!

This is a picture of when Mme Hussey, our previous principal, came to read to us!

We read The Moccasin Goalie and talked about beading. This is when we beaded to make mittens from a long time ago. We made one mitten, not two.

This is a picture of when Constable Alanna came and read The Golden Rule to us. The golden rule is to treat people the way you want to be treated. She talked about her job too!

Some students painted and made stuff out of clay for the pottery club!

This year we were doing science activities from a special science crate from the University of Manitoba! This activity was trying to make the arch of an igloo. It was really hard!

We were making tipis and it wasn't hard for our group but it was hard to tie it!

This activity was making a hogan. It is a First Nations type of house.

In this listening centre we learned about a different type of dance and music.

It was fun to make spider web rooftops out of pipe cleaners. They are very colourful! Shana's was the strongest. 

Another activity was using the iPads to explore A-Z Maps.

Our final activity was looking at designs and making totem poles. 

We are working on Xtra math. We are learning multiplication. 

January was so much fun! It was the best month so far! 

December Highlights

Constable Cross told us to ask our parents to be Block Parents. She came to talk to us about safety. She is Mme's sister!

Here we are making our gingerbread houses! It was really fun making them but we're not allowed to eat them until we got home:(

It was cold! It was the best month yet and we will miss December:)

What do we believe?
