In February, 4L has been learning about Northern Canada. Students asked many questions about the region concerning topics such as mining, igloos, Inuit inventions, northern lights, and climate change. Following thorough research, students are now preparing presentations to share their learning by creating a poster, PowerPoint, play, or book.
In February the students of 4K were very busy learning about ‘Sound’ in Science class. We studied how sound travels and how we can change the pitch and volume. We capped off our unit with projects. Each student designed their own instrument and presented it to the class. We had a great variety of instruments and lots of creative ideas. Way to go, 4K!
4K celebrated I love to Read Month and Valentine’s Day by spending some extra time together – outside! When it was finally mild enough, they seized the opportunity and went skating, sledding and played on the many playground hills. After they were good and tired (and a bit chilly), they came inside for hot chocolate. It was great fun!
As part of I love to Read month, 4K invited Mr. and Mrs. Diamond to be classroom guests. Mr. Diamond is a dog trainer, and he and his wife run a dog kenneling facility. They brought along their dog Juice, and the students were thrilled to meet their 4 legged family member! Mr. Diamond has raced dogsleds, he trains hunting dogs and helps families work on obedience training. He talked to the students about how reading played an important role in his life as he was growing up, and how he now has to be able to “read” in a different way. His job means he has to be able to ‘read’ dogs and understand how they are feeling. The students had great questions and learned a lot from Mr. and Mrs. Diamond. A huge thank you to the Diamonds for sharing their time and wisdom with 4K!
In January, the students in class 4G were busy learning about Sound in their science unit. We studied how sound travels, changes pitch, and how we can change volume and quality. Then the students designed their own musical instrument and presented them to the class. We had a wide variety of instruments and lots of creative designs. Great Job grade fours!
