A Busy Week...

Habitat-Diorama
Habitat-Diorama
During the last couple of days, the children were quite busy working on their dioramas. I have included some of the children's work that is still in progress. They are really enjoying it!

Also, we worked on a summary assignment this week and each child received feedback. This will help them improve their next summary task for next week. Using a rubric, teacher's feedback and their previously written summary, the children will complete another written summary next week. This will allow them a chance to improve their marks and gather a better understanding visually, how to improve their written task.

Yesterday we had art. We were finishing up our sketching of our right shoe! We learned that we have to look at the shoe and draw rather than looking at the shoe then look at our sketching paper to draw from memory. It was HaRd! However, they persevered and it turned out amazingly!


Today we had a Bus Safety and Evacuation assembly. We learned about all the safety rules and even learned out to safely and properly jump out the back of the bus in case of an emergency evacuation. They really enjoyed it!


Next week will be quite a busy week for us! On Monday, we have a P.A.Day! On Tuesday, please note that we will be having our pictures taken! This is because we will be away on Wednesday for our trip to BORC. On Thursday Earth Rangers will be in. This has always been the Grade 4s favourites!

Have a wonderful weekend!
