Fantastic Fours

The students have been incredibly eager to have the opportunity to learn French this year. We have been working on basic conversations which include greetings, introductions, the sharing of feelings and goodbyes. This week, the students wrote scripts and presented short skits to practice writing and speaking.

This week, we were so happy to have the opportunity to visit Fish Creek Provincial Park. We feel very fortunate to have such an amazing natural space within walking distance from our school. Exploring the park is a wonderful fit to our learning in social studies on the different geographic regions of Alberta. Our focus was on the the outcomes: examining the physical geography of Alberta and how Albertans interact with their environment. As the day was a little chilly, it also gave us the opportunity to think what life was like for Alberta's Indigenous people and its early settlers.

It was wonderful to be back at school and to hear all about the students experiences and adventures over the break. This week, we felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to take part in the Clay for Kids program. The students worked to make clay pieces that represented the Rocky Mountain region of Alberta. It was wonderful to be able to connect our learning in social studies to our art. The students had a fantastic time experimenting with the clay. We are so excited to get our creation back once they have been fired. This project focused on the outcome: Students will d evelop techniques in sculpture for new experiences. A huge thank you to our volunteers who helped us out with our work!
