Foundation

In Foundation we have been learning about healthy friendships and how to make new friends as part of our Health unit. We have been using the Friendology program and love listening to Dana and her furry friend Moosey. 

Last week we learned about how to be a Super Introducer and learned the ninja skill of Ask and Pass.

Grades 1 & 2

In Grade 1 we have been using our 100s charts to practise counting forwards and backwards. We worked with a partner to put our chart back together when a crocodile came and chopped them all up! 

It was trickier than we thought! We have also been practising skip counting. 

Have you checked out the Grade 1/2 site? 

There are lots of skip-counting videos that you might like to sing along to at home. 

Grades 3 & 4

My class came and helped the foundation kids with their book of the week craft and practised having buddies. 

In Grade’s 3/4, we love sharing our writing on The Author’s Chair. The Author’s Chair is an opportunity for students to voluntarily share their writing and receive constructive feedback. A student sits in a designated ‘author’s chair’ and reads a piece of their writing aloud to the class. The class listens carefully and respectfully. The listening students think of an element of the writing they wish to comment on or develop a question to ask the author. This process helps build confidence, improve writing skills, and encourage thoughtful discussion.

Visual Arts

The “Obliteration Space” is looking wildly colourful with only a few blank spots to fill.

Last week the Foundation students explored different types of lines. They enjoyed using Bingo Dabbers to draw five different thick black lines from one side of their page to the other.

Once the ink was dry the students filled the shapes the criss-crossed lines had made with colourful paint sticks.

Stay tuned to see completed three-dimensional mushrooms and pumpkins currently being created by the grade 3 – 6 students.

Grade 3/4 enjoyed playing the 'Happy Laughing Game,' one of the traditional Japanese New Year games, while speaking in Japanese!
