Imagination Islands

Posted on November 22, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Div. 8 students designed and planned their very own islands! They were asked to be as creative as they could and have islands that were rich with landforms. They could add places for the inhabitants of their island to work, play and live. They used a paper plate and craft materials to create a 3-D map of the island. Click on the pic to see their wonderful creations!

Taking too long?

Hello families! Division 8 students have sketched their very own islands, including at least 4 landforms we have been learning about, and will be creating a model of their islands on a paper plate next week!
I will provide the materials above (paper plates, plasticine, pipe-cleaners, toothpicks, card board, construction paper, tissue paper…) but students are welcome to bring their own art or craft supplies that are available to them!
Feel free to bring figurines to inhabit their island as well.
Any questions, please ask!
Thank you for your continued support, Ms. Stephanie Watt

I hope everyone had a tons of fun yesterday out and about with your family and friends!! After a fun day at school with our costume parade, assembly and party in the afternoon, Kennedy, Ava and I went to the house of Kennedy’s best friend, Frankie! We took some pictures and then went Trick or Treating around the spooky neighbourhood houses. Then we finished the night by watching Minions: The Rise of Gru.
