It is hard to believe that it is already March. The time seems to be passing so quickly! Over the past few weeks, the grade fours have been working together with our grade five teacher Mrs. Sampson. As a part of our work in health, we have been learning about the Calgary Board of Education's Code of Conduct. Our focus was on the learning outcome: personal well-being is supported through positive relationships built on communication, empathy and respect. We looked a a student friendly version of the document and learned all about our responsibilities in being welcoming, caring, safe and respectful. The students had a fantastic time creating skits to illustrate examples from the document. We have some talented actors in grade four!

In science, the students have been motivated as they have been researching a variety of methods of waste disposal including, landfills, recycling, windrow composting, and incineration. They learned about how their method worked as well as the advantages and disadvantages. The students then began creating Google Slides to represent their learning. Next week, the students will share their slides with the class. Our learning focus was: describe alternate methods of waste disposal and identify advantages and disadvantages of each and locate information to answer research questions using a variety of sources.

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.

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.

Fantastic Fours
