The students have had a fantastic time over the last few weeks, experimenting with a variety of movements as a part of our school wide gymnastics unit. We began with practicing balances and a travelling on the matts and then moved to using the equipment such as ladders, bars and beams. It has been wonderful to see the students work on their skills and challenge themselves to balance and travel in new ways.

Thank you to all the families who were able to make it out for our Grade Four Celebration of Learning. The students were incredibly excited to share their work with their families and the students within our school. It was a wonderful way to culminate our time spent working on the Minecraft Design Challenge. The students showed a great deal of growth throughout this experience. They developed patience with challenging technology, worked to collaborate and be flexible with their peers and to use their imaginations and celebrate their creativity. As they learned about social, economic and climate resilience, the students developed a greater understanding of the needs of our city and the importance of creating places that are open and accessible to all. If you were unable to join us for our celebration at the school, please have your child share their work with you at home.

The grade fours had a fantastic time during our netball residency this week. It is such a wonderful, fast paced game. Each of the seven players has a following position which helps it to be a true team sport where all players are active and engaged. It allowed students to work on their passing and shooting skills. Thank you to our Parent Council for making this opportunity possible.

This week, we continued our work with our food trucks by designing the interiors of our trucks. First, we looked at a variety of floor plans and brainstormed items that would be important within our trucks. The students then created their own floor plans. We then calculated the area and perimeters of the different items within our truck. Our focus was on the math learning outcome: demonstrates an understanding of area of regular and irregular 2D shapes.

Fantastic Fours
