Here is a link to the songs the children need to learn for their upcoming performance at Primary Days of Music.  Please practice these as much as possible.  Our class only has music two times per week, so they won’t have as much time to practice as they normally would.

Division 10 has been learning about how little fresh water there is on our planet and how important it is to conserve and care for the drinkable water we have.  We have also been reviewing the Water Cycle.  Below is a link to a fun video about the Water Cycle by Go Noodle.  

Today was a busy day for the students of division 10.  Students took part in our Reading Picnic this afternoon and also lent their artistic talents to helping create the schools new mural. 

Our class had a special guest Ms. Cross, come to our classroom and teach the students about the First Nations’ medicine wheels.  The class then began filling in their own medicine wheels as we discussed what we need to do to make sure that we are keeping our minds and our bodies healthy.  

Our class was treated to having one of Burnaby’s newest firefighters come into our class and read a story to us.  We also got a chance to tour one of their firetrucks and ask the firefighters all kinds of questions.  

Students in Division 10 were able to take part in a free drama workshop provided by Arts Umbrella.  They learned about using their bodies and faces to show how they would feel and look in different situations.  Students were also tasked with having to improvise and try to become different animals and objects.  

Improv Teamwork!
