Hello Division 9 families,

It has been a wonderful first term! We learned and shared so much. We explored, created, experimented, and had a ton of fun along the way. We would love to share what our learning journey has been like so far. We hope you enjoy the pictures and descriptions of some of our first term! This blog is for our student’s families only. Please do not repost any pictures that have other students in them. Thank you so much!

Div. 9 had a great time getting to know one another this term. We played games in class and gym, worked with partners and groups, and played with new people at centres time. During centres we explored building materials, games, puzzles, arts and crafts, and lots more!

In math Div. 9 focused on numeracy, adding and subtracting, place value, decomposing numbers, patterns and tangrams.

In science we had a great time building and sharing our biomes!

 

In Language Arts we really like playing word-work games including making silly sentences and matching rhyming words!

In art we started out the term making wonderful self-portraits and even used mirrors to make sure we captured ourselves right 🙂

We had so much fun with our buddy class- Mr. Miotto’s class who is down the hallway from us. We did a lot of art together, games, and some exploration time. We were able to work in our classrooms and the library where we had a Lego challenge! We also made cute prickly cacti art with our Buddies along with lots of other art projects.

   

Look at our witch’s brew!

In PE we had tons of fun learning volleyball skills with Ms. Lu. We learned new games and played old favourites like shark attack, dodgeball, freeze tag, turtle tag, and rotten eggs!

In social studies we learned about many things, but we especially loved learning about each other’s cultures and backgrounds. It was wonderful to see each student stand in front of the class to present their culture doll and personalized write up of their culture!

In music students explored instruments and songs and played lots of interactive games.

Holidays were great opportunities to share our traditions and learn about each others!

Thank you for a wonderful first term! All the best Div. 9 families 🙂

See you in term 2.
