Keeler's Fabulous Fours and Fives!

 The past few weeks, we have been learning about light and shadows. We learned about different objects that are translucent, transparent and opaque and which objects create shadows. We are now incorporating literacy into science. Each group of students has planned out a play script for their shadow puppet play, they have written a rough copy and have included dialogue in their script. They then had to have a conference with the teacher to go over their scripts and any kinks or edits. Using what they have learned in Light and Shadows, they were then asked to figure out the best materials for making shadow puppets and how to create a shadow with their puppet. Watch this space to see the final product! Students creating the stage for our shadow puppet play

  We've built sundials and aluminum statues. What will we do with these? Stay tuned to find out or ask your student for a sneak peek :)

  REMEMBRANCE DAY The past few days students in Grades 4 and 5 have been learning, talking, and understanding the importance and significance of Remembrance Day.  Students explored Remembrance Day through a variety of mediums: Art, Music, Literature and Writing.         .                     Students reflected on the meaning of Remembrance Day through exploring the meaning of the song Highway of Hero's by The Trews.  Students explored a variety of different art styles including Metis Dot Art and Georgia O'Keefe to create Poppy Art.
