Mr. Belliveau's Class

In March we had a visit from the SPCA and the children got to meet a new very cute and furry little friend.  Students learned important lessons about the responsibilities and costs associated with caring for pets.  

This term our students had the opportunity to take part in drama workshops conducted by the Young Actors Project.

Division 7 were challenged with building the tallest structures they could.  Many of the groups were able to develop some very innovative construction techniques.  

Author Grayson Smith came to visit our school last week and read his new book to the students, There’s a Norseman in the Classroom.  The book has a great message about inclusion in the classroom and the students loved the story.  

Students studied the differences and similarities among their cultures by mapping their cultural origins and completing venn diagrams.  

Division 7 looked for traditional First Nations medicinal plants on our school grounds.  Many of the students were surprised to discover how many plants were right outside our classroom door.  We were lucky to get in our scavenger hunt before the snow fell.  

The students of division 7 were learning about number patterning and they used the number patterns from Pascal’s Triangle which has a huge number of patterns within it to create their colourful art pieces.  

The class was tasked with building sculptures or structures using base 10 materials and then calculating and recording their place value totals.
