We spent Tuesday and part of today discussing and doing activities about Terry Fox. A few of these are on the bulletin board between our room and the Office.
Welcome to our new class!!
We are settling into our class now. Intake Interviews are happening this week. We have a ProD day on Friday. Our schedule is mostly set.
Next week we will get started on our routine activities: Jolly Phonics, Printing Books, Reading Groups, and Spelling / Daily Language (Grade Two’s).
Still Life – “Pommes” – in the style of Paul Cezanne
We read a story by Laurence Anholt called, “Cezanne and the Apple Boy” and learned a bit about Paul Cezanne’s life. Students then used oil pastels to re-create one of his paintings through a directed drawing lesson.

Every Colour Has Value
As part of our study of the Elements of Art, we have been looking at ’value’ – lightness and darkness.
We experimented with our watercolour pallets and finger-painted some amazing pictures.
