May

Here we are doing a math activity called skyscrapers. We have to use 1, 2, 3 and 4 blocks to solve the puzzle.



These are our math centres. We did skip counting, sky scrapers puzzles, geometric solids, Reflex Math and symmetry with the Miras.



Sometimes we do Just Dance at the end of the day - What does the fox say?



We are studying plants. Here we are building plant and flower models, making a life cycle of a pea plant, stamping the stages of plants, sketching plants, looking and seeds and dirt and sorting foods that are made from plants.




We planted tomato, pea, basil, bean, dill and flower seeds. We noted our observations and measurements in our science scribblers. We also watered our plants each day!



We were looking to see which parts of plants are edible!



We watched videos about all different kinds of plants. The video showed fast motion of the plants growing.



We are doing Words Their Way to study our spelling and vocabulary. We also did an activity called Mad Libs which is very funny! We listened to stories as well.



Here we are doing our English centers. We had to play Bananagrams, read RAZ-Kids, cut out and sort our words and write in our journals.



Here we are doing our oral presentations in English and in French. We call it 'Les super-orateurs'.  Some people presented a recipe and shared food with the whole class. We learned many things listening to each other's presentations.



The grade 4 students went to Track and Field day at Sturgeon Heights. It was a very hot and tiring day!



These pictures are our Treaty Day pictures. Some of the activities we did are talking circles (sharing what we are grateful for), eating bannock, dancing, games in the gym, smudging, art with pastels, making animals with rocks, reading books in the tent and journal writing on the blankets. 



We were making firefly art. We painted a black sky, made a jar, painted the grass and then we glued the jar on and added yellow fireflies. We also used glitter glue for the stars in the sky.

May was a busy month!

April

These are our English centres. We were doing RAZ-Kids, banana grams (a word game), puzzles and journal writing. Mme was doing a words their way centre so that we could get our new words.



Here we had partner reading. We took our English book and we read it to a partner that Mme picks for us. Sometimes we do this in French as well.

Here we were building things with geometrics shapes. We hid the shapes and had to describe them to our partner in French. Then our partner had to make the same design.



This is when an author came to read one of her books to us. The big message from this book was that everyone is different.



Here we are exploring water to see how it can act like a magnifying glass.



Using the iPads we did research about inventions that use light.




Here we were making our kaleidoscopes. We looked in them and it looked really cool. We used cardboard rolls, reflective paper, plastic bags, sequins, paper and tape.



Here we are researching places in Nunavut to find out their original name and what it means.



This is the grade 3 choir who won an award for outstanding folk song.



Here are our dragons that we worked on in art class with Mme Catellier. They were awesome!



These are the pictures from the play Dig It! We practiced the play a lot and we had fun performing it and watching our friends!
