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

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.

This week students of Division 4 and 8 harvested 242 potatoes that we have been growing and tending to since March. Students thoroughly enjoyed digging in the dirt and discovering the different insects that decided to call our potato plants home. They were fascinated by the root system and had no problem locating the original  mushed up seed potatoes.

For PE this term students have been learning and perfecting the basics of tennis in the gym and on the court.

In Term 3 our class was learning about the importance of sleep, diet, and physical activity and how these things can have an impact on our health and well being.  We also learned how to conduct surveys and how to represent data in bar graphs.

Once students had the hang of conducting surveys and graphing their results we decided to conduct school wide surveys.  The students surveyed their peers to determine how much time screen time students are getting, how much physical activity they are getting each day, how many sugary drinks they are consuming per day, and how many hours of sleep they are getting each night.

After compiling all the results the students created graphs that they later presented to the whole school.  As they presented their  findings they also provided students with recommendations for how they can balance screen time with other activities, consume less sugar, increase their physical activity and make sure they are getting enough sleep.

Today students had a presentation from Safer Schools that focused on educating students on cyberbullying, digital citizenship, and online safety. Students learned many ways to protect themselves online and also learned about a new online help tool designed to help build safe and caring school communities . The site discusses complex issues facing students and is a resource to empower students, parents, educators and community partners to seek help with challenges and report concerns to schools.  For more information visit: www.erase.gov.bc.ca

At the beginning of the school year all students of Stoney Creek had an opportunity to develop their ADST skills with Alex McKillop, our Applied Design, Skills & Technologies District Advisor as they planned, designed, cut, sanded , and decorated wooden leaves for our school kindness mural. The next time you are in the school be sure to stop by the office and admire their beautiful artwork.  Like leaves blowing in the wind this mural will be a permanent reminder for us all to perform random acts of kindness and give back to the community in positive ways.

During our first week back to school the Grade 5’s created this amazing mural to remind us all to be kind to one another.  The mural also showcases that positive actions no matter how big or how small do make a difference.
