Students had so much fun prototype narratives on Friday afternoon during our Serious Lego Play Workshop.
For their speeches students are required to write about an authentic moment in their lives and discuss what they learned from that experience. Speeches will be presented in class Friday March 1st. Finalists will be selected for the district competition by March 15th.
Poems will be uploaded to your child’s Spaces Account later this week for viewing.
Today at the Young People Concert the students had a special performance from Metaphor. These hip hop artists taught students about the history of Hip Hop and how they use their music to build community empowerment and social justice. Using the hip hop arts–DJing, Breakdancing, Beatboxing & Emceeing–the Metaphor crew had us free styling, beatboxing, and dancing during their energy filled performance. They were very inspiring and we are all now pumped to write our own raps.
Students in Division 1, 2 and 3 at Aubrey Elementary have been learning about Ancient Civilizations and the use of soapstone. Soapstone is a soft metamorphic rock found over the globe that has been used through history by various groups to create art and tools.
Soapstone’s use dates back to antiquity: early Egyptians carved it into scarabs and seals; in China and India it was used for ornaments, implements and domestic utensils. It was similarly used at various times over the past 7,500 years by First Nations, Inuit and Norse in Canada to create qullic, and oil lamps.
