Orange Shirt Day


Today we learned about how everyone matters - no matter their gender, skin colour, etc. because God made us all special. We decorated some tiles that will be put in a big mosaic for the whole school. A colouring picture of an orange shirt was sent home in the children's agendas.

Thanks for participating and wearing your orange shirt!

Remembrance Day and Community Helpers

Image
Hello again from Ms. Law! It is a busy time what with report cards being done, but I wanted to get in a blog post to let you know what we've been doing the past two weeks. Last week was full of activities going up to Remembrance Day. We read the poem "In Flanders Fields" and made poppy art with various painting techniques (paintbrush with watercolours for grass and sky, thicker paint with a milk bottle cap for the poppy flowers, and our thumb for the black poppy middle). We also wrote questions for a soldier, Ms. Law's friend Corporal Sam Donovan. We watched the video the next week, on November 13. (If you would like a copy of the video to see, you can contact me!) And, finally, we practiced for the Remembrance Day liturgy, which we helped lead along with the grade sixes. Thank you so much to anyone who was able to make it! (faces of children who are not to appear on social media are blurred as per our district's privacy rules) This week, we h...

Science Unit - Week 1

Image
Hello parents! It's been a while, but I started taking photos again this week because we've just started a very exciting and engaging unit - an Introduction to Science! Grade 4/3, our buddies, have also been in the classroom to help us every day when it comes to centers time. Monday, Day 1, was biology day. We learned about pine trees since it is too cold outside for regular plants to grow. We did activities such as learning how the roots of a tree drink up water and the tactile hands-on activity of picking out pine cones and pine needles. We also started our first science experiment - putting pine needles into various solutions to see which ones are bad for the pine trees (will kill the pine needles). We used water, oil, vinegar, and coffee. Stay tuned to see which ones will hurt the pine needles because so far they are going strong! (Which shows how hardy pine trees are!)

Science Unit - Week 2

Image
This week we only managed to fit in two science days due to some last-minute rescheduling. The first was Mad Scientist day, of which there unfortunately were no pictures taken due to how much fun we were having! We had a sensory walk station where the kids walked through bins of things from beans to shaving cream. There was a rock station, a magnet station, a measuring station, and a station where budding scientists got to mix various items in test tubes and see what happened. Next day was Detective / Forensic Scientist day. There was a fingerprinting station, a lip print station (many lysol wipes were used in the cleaning of the lipstick tubes :D), and a station where the kinders had to figure out a mystery powder using the senses of sight and touch. fingerprinting station
