Jump Rope for Heart event

In early May, our grade 6 & 7 leadership students led a variety of Jump Rope activities.

We had a lot of fun trying out different types of jumps and tricks with our skipping ropes during our division Jump Event date. For many kindergartners, this was their first time attempting to jump rope. We set small goals for ourselves, and when the skipping was too difficult, it was okay to do some simple jumps. We also set our team goal of having fun, safe exercise, and jumping for healthy hearts!

The goal was to fundraise for Jump Rope for Heart, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Thank you to parents and the community for your donations! We have met our school goal and we will soon get a double recess!

Community

 

Our little city planners and builders have been learning about important community helpers and services that make up a community.  We took the information we learned and built five different communities. Each group brainstormed what their community needed, collected materials, built it and then they named their community (Ultimate Sand City, Racing Town, Towerson Town, Sugar Dot City, Sparkling Sprinkle Neighborhood Town). They all put in a lot of effort into building their town/city together.  Keep up the great teamwork, Division 12!

 

Forest Animal Habitats

 

Our class ended our Winter theme unit by building homes for some of our forest animals.  Each group chose their animal(s), gathered materials and then built the home together.  We were so impressed with how everyone worked collaboratively and helped each other out! Great teamwork, Division 12!

Exploring 2D and 3D Shapes

Division 12 has been having fun exploring 2D shapes and 3D shapes! We learned that shapes have attributes like sides and pointed corners called vertices.  Some shapes are round and some are flat.  We looked for shapes in the real world, learned how to build and draw shapes and played games with shapes. We also built a 3D structure and used flashlights to sketch the shadow of our structure into a 2D drawing!

 

 

 

Bug Community

 

Our class has been learning about important community helpers and services that make up a community.  We took the information we learned and built five different communities for some lucky bugs! Each group brainstormed what their community needed, collected materials, built it and then they named their community.  These lucky bugs can choose to live in Bugland, Bug Town, Bug City, Winch Street Town or Fun Town!

Please log in to your child’s Blogfolio to see their community!

Animals that Hibernate

 

Our class ended our Winter theme unit by building homes for some of the animals that hibernate in the winter time.  Each table group chose their animal(s), gathered materials and then built the home together.  We were so impressed with how everyone worked collaboratively and helped each other out!
