November 4-7

November 4-7 

In Social Studies and through our literacy time we have been building our understanding of “Community”.  Specifically, we have looked at the physical communities we belong to and the social groups we are part of.  Through reading stories, viewing short videos, and taking our learning out on the land the grade ones have added to their understanding of our school community and the social groups that we are a part of. Along with this study of our school community, we were asked as a grade group to think about and represent our foundational ideas of Andrew Sibbald for our school mural.  Students expressed their thoughts about special places, people, and activities of our school community in pictures and writing, along with a sensory reflection of our outdoor learning space.  As a culmination of our week, students participated in our Remembrance Day ceremony by creating artwork, contributing to a wreath that was presented, and through their thoughtful participation at the ceremony to recognize and show respect for the special community of those who have served and continue to serve our country through the Canadian Forces.
