These are some of the lovely directed drawings the children did of Chinese dragons.

To all the families that are celebrating Chinese New Year, I wish you good health, and peace wherever you go.  May your whole family be filled with happiness in the coming year!

The children of Division 10 have been learning all about bats.  Bats are unique . . . they are the only mammal that flies.  They are also nocturnal, sleep upside down and use echolocation to locate objects in the dark.  We learned to write a simple, informative report that classifies facts and information about bats into categories. 

Ask your child to read his/her report to you.

Ocean Silhouettes

| 1 Comment

The children created these beautiful ocean silhouettes.  First, they used chalk pastels to do the background.  They used different colours to simulate the sun shining on the top of the water and getting progressively darker toward the bottom. Then, they traced the shapes of different ocean animals on black paper and cut them out. Please notice their careful cutting skills.

The children also used the loose parts to make an ocean scape.  Then, they wrote about their scene. Ask your child to describe his/her picture.
