100’s Day Activities

Students did hundreds of things last Thursday for our 💯s Day celebrations.

They made necklaces with ten groups of ten colours of Fruit Loops.

They made headbands with 20 stickers and counted by fives to one hundred.

On the crowns they drew ten different groups of ten shapes in different colours.

They enjoyed showing off their handiwork

We divided up 100 jelly beans in two ways - by colour and by 19 for the number of our students.

And then the jelly beans were eaten …

Colourful Penguins

Well, actually the penguins aren’t colourful but the backgrounds are!

These delightful birds are in place on the bulletin board next to the Office. Swim on by to take a look🐧

Happy New Year 2020!!

I hope you all had a great break!

With our buddies in Divisions 1 and 3 we created these lovely hats which we mounted onto coloured construction paper. We then cut around the hats making sure that we left a border of construction paper showing.

These are on the bulletin board outside in our hallway.

Our Snow Families

When you come to the Christmas concert tomorrow, check out our art pieces on the bulletin board outside of the classroom. We spent several days, in many stages, creating representations of our families as snow people. Here they are:

Gingerbread Houses

We had a great afternoon today building our gingerbread houses. Students worked on skills such as planning, structures, and decoration. Students also showed their incredible generosity as they freely shared resources amongst themselves.

A huge thank you to Jen for coming in to help out!!

New Chairs!!

On November 27th we got a delivery of new desk chairs! This was very exciting as the students got the pleasure of unwrapping them. They took this job very seriously. It was a great opportunity to use their problem solving skills.

All About Me Robots / My Name

As we are wrapping up our unit on self-discovery we have finished off the last two activities. The first was our All About Me Robots. Students needed to decide and state their preferences in a number of different areas.

The second activity was putting together all the bits about our names. This included the sheet that was sent home for family input.

Our bulletin board did not manage to accommodate all of this work so we have some mounted on our white board underneath our Word Wall.

More Complementary Colours

Sudents used construction paper, in complementary colours, to create woven patterns. These are on the bulletin board outside of our room next to the office.

Remembrance Day Poppies

After a directed drawing lesson on flowers – in the style of Georgia O’Keefe – students outlined their pencil drawings with China markers. These were then painted red with green centres. After these had dried students re-outlined them, cut them out, and glued them onto green construction paper. This was also a reinforcement on our lessons on complementary colours (red and green).

Who Am I?

As part of our Social Studies unit we have been exploring our sense of self. Students created these wonderful word and picture maps that depict themselves and things that are important to them.
