The Parkcrest View

March 5, 2024

| Posted in Learning, News

This delightful movie was made by the children using a green screen. They memorized their lines, rehearsed the scenes together, and acted out their parts while demonstrating patience, perseverance and risk taking.

This project represents the learning that the children did in regards to The Big Idea of the Science curriculum; Living things have features and behaviours that help them survive in their environment.

The making of the movie encouraged the children to practice their oral language skills and strategies; speaking clearly while adjusting volume, pace, and tone.

It also helped the children to learn to work respectfully and constructively with others to achieve a common goal, and explore artistic expressions of themselves through drama.

Most importantly, we had a lot of fun!

Please do not upload the movie to social media websites. If you wish to share the video please direct your friends and family to this website.

A special thank you to Janet Chow for her expertise in filming and editing!

What a fun way to learn about ocean animals! You can tell they all worked really hard to learn their parts. Thank you for this memorable experience. Brayden said it was so fun and the giant squid was funny!

What a fun and creative way for children to learn! I am sure that they won’t forget about the important role that the ocean and ocean animals play in our ecosystem. Thanks Ms Gourlay for this wonderful and memorable experience!
