We enjoyed some time outdoors this week. On Monday we went to the top of the hill to do some journalling. While we were there, we found a little friend hiding in the bushes. Ask your child about about the note that had a special challenge for everyone. If they can't remember, you might have to go up to the community garden to see where he's hiding now!
We also managed to get out and enjoy a community walk with Ms. Yasin's class. We walked down by the river and made some observations about how the river ecosystem has changed with the colder weather and what changes we can anticipate with the arrival of winter next week.
We also said goodbye to our student teacher, Mr. Reimche, this week. We wish him well as he continues his final semester and practicum on his way to becoming a teacher. He has promised to come back and visit before the winter break.
I Can Create a Symmetrical Picture
In "mart" (math/art) we created symmetrical winter mittens. First we drew out our designs. Then we used wax crayon to trace and fill in some of our designs. Afterwards we used watercolours to fill in the rest of the mitten. Finally, students drew symmetrical snowflakes on the background of the picture.
