Hi Division 4,

I hope you like my DIY chalk mosaic in the background. Don’t forget to create your own Message of Hope.  You can drop them off in the drop off box outside the school in the undercover area next to the community office and staff will post them for you in our school windows.

I miss you all and really looking forward to when things are back to normal.

Teach Kids How to Knit with these easy tutorials.

Now that school’s out, and they’re confined to home, a creative outlet is just what they need. Knitting helps kids learn maths, spacial awareness and mindfulness, and boosts their creativity and confidence, all while working at their own pace.

Give it a try if you have knitting materials at home.  Link: Kids Knit

During buddies we read a book called The Cool Bean written by Jory John and Pete Oswald.  We also watched a video about the origins of Pink Shirt Day and discussed what kindness is and how to spread kindness to others. Afterwards, we made pink shirts with our little buddies to help remind others to stand up to bullies and treat others the way they want to be treated.

For Remembrance Day this year students from Division 4 wove their own wreath from ivy and made poppies from maple leaves to honour those who have served or made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

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
