With our little buddies from division 12 we learned how to use Japanese Notan to create haunted houses. We learned to balance dark and light using reflections to create positive and negative spaces.

Students can:

– use a variety of literary devices (e.g., imagery, sensory detail, simile, metaphor) to enhance writing, develop meaning, and communicate ideas about themselves through poetry

– apply image-development strategies to create an image of a thumbprint to convey things that make them as unique as their thumbprints

In this lesson we learned to:

• Identify elements in the visual arts, including traditional Coast Salish design motifs (circle, oval, crescent, trigon).
• Analyze, critique, and connect with art using visual thinking strategies.
• Understand that symbolism is a way to create, represent, and communicate meaning.
• Experiment with a variety of media to create a Coast Salish style animal.

Today we had a great time learning more about Ringette. We can now apply a variety of fundamental movements and demonstrate safety, fair play, and leadership while playing the sport.  We are also looking forward to attending the World Ringette Championships this year being held on November 28th at the Bill Copeland Area.
