Yesterday we had guest speaker come to our school to talk with us about growth mindset.  The main character Ned went on an important mission to find his mindset.  Throughout his mission he taught us to never give up, encourage others, and always our best.  He also helped us understand the power of yet, how to spark courage in others, and how to keep learning and growing.  Throughout the presentation we also got to see a number of really cool yo-yo tricks.  Yo-yo’s  can also be purchased online today and tomorrow through school cash and picked up on Thursday and Friday at lunch.  If you would like to learn some of these tricks from yesterdays presentation please visit: http://www.mindsetmission.com/yoyos

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.

Throughout our Planting a Promise unit students in division 4 and 12 will be learning that:
✱ Plants are diverse in the way they grow.  They are different in their appearance, in their use and in their life cycle.
✱ Seasonal changes happen in plants as well as animals.
✱ Plants have basic needs (air, water, soil and light) that must be met in order for them to grow.
✱ Air, water and soil have different physical characteristics that can affect the growth of plants.
✱ Personal choices have environmental consequences that can affect living resources, like plants.

“I can plan ways to engage with my audience and present thought-provoking activities in the form of an Escape Room”

“I can plan Escape Room activities with others and adapt activities for older and younger students”

“I can think outside the box to create innovative props and activities that will appeal to my audience and encourage them to think critically”
