Merry Christmas!

Can't believe the holidays are finally here! It was a little crazy managing all that youthful excitement....but we made it! We had a busy last day together...

We learned about the Legend of the Candy Cane....

Zayne managed to find some Zen during gym class...

...and a Christmas Unicorn granted magical wishes! 

Sticky Snow!

The kids had fun building stuff today with that beautiful snowfall. That's Jeff Bob Billy the snowman in the picture with Alex, Mirren and Olivia. Quite the castle he lives in - it even has a lounging area!

Rolling this snowball takes some serious muscle! Way to go, Destin!

NumerARTcy Afternoon!

The whole school participated in a NumerARTcy afternoon today. The afternoon for the primary classes started with a presentation by Madame Evraire, Joshua, Connor, Lana and Lauryn. They discussed symbols and Math in a piece of Imdigenous art the class collaboratively created.

Masks the students had made in French were also on display:

Mrs. Evert and Mrs. Sabourin then introduced the Grade 3 students to artist Paul Klee's work. The students were able to see lots of Math in his buildings.

The students then had a turn...

After recess, the students visited Mrs. McLachlan who spoke to them abut circles in Wassily Kadinsky paintings. 

They then got to try that out!

We will be assembling the creations of all the primary students into a MarthARTcy quilt next week... Here's a sneak peak:

 

Paperclip Reward!

Terrific news! The 3W students have succeeded in earning a paperclip reward. They have been working very hard and cooperatively to earn paperclips for the class paperclip chain. Now that they have reached their goal of 26 paperclips, they will receive a class reward. Students are welcome to wear their cozy PJ’s and bring in a handheld electronic device or/and a board game to school tomorrow. The electronics will not be permitted in the school yard and will be kept in the locked 3W classroom when they are not in use. The students will enjoy a relaxing morning before participating in our school-wide NumerARTcy afternoon! 

Congratulations 3W!

 

You Light Up Our Lives!

We started the day off by watching this brief video about the use of shapes and colour in the work of Pablo Picasso:
