We had a great day with our AMAZING teachers of the day Ms. P and Mr. K!

They were inspiring, fun, kind teachers with great lessons planned for both of our classes!

We started our day with math by creating symmetrical designs.

During attendance, our teachers of the day assigned each of us an animal and we had to create a word to rhyme with it- it was so much fun! Ask me what my animal and rhyming word were.

In literacy, we read the Three Little Pigs and then we created our own story plans by switching the animals. Some examples were "The 3 Little Fish and the Big Bad Narwal" and "The 3 Little Turtles and the Big Bad Cheetah!" It was so much fun and our friends came up with lots of great ideas.

This afternoon we learned about tornadoes! Did you know that tornadoes come in all colours because they take on the colour of the materials they pick up? And that they are most likely to form between the hours of 3pm and 9pm? Such cool and interesting facts! We also had a mini lesson about how to draw a tornado!

We are still working hard on our red winged blackbird research project and learning so much!

Thank you to our teachers of the day! You rocked it 🙌

Reminder: Our grade ones are presenting an Earth Day assembly next Thursday, April 27th at 1:30pm. Grade one families are invited to watch us sing and share some of learning!

Good afternoon grade one families! We had an amazing day of learning. This morning we watched a short film of the beloved story The Gruffalo by Julia Donaldson. Afterwards we used loose parts to create scenes and characters and wrote sentences to describe our loose part art. The film was wonderful and our loose part creations were AWESOME! We are finished our Reader's Theatre and our puppets are proudly displayed in our windows. This year we made a fall tree at the Leighton Art Centre, a winter tree using cool coloured paint, a spring tree out of tissue paper and today we started our summer tree art using plasticine. They are inspired by Canadian Artist Barbara Reid. Love the grade one team

Hello grade one families, It was so wonderful to meet so many of you during conferences. Thank you for joining us to talk about your children and all of the learning and fun we have been experiencing together! Today we gathered as a school for an assembly to begin learning about National Truth and Reconciliation Week and Orange Shirt Day. We learned about the importance of Land Acknowledgement. Mr. Magowan shared his personal connection to the land where he grew up and told stories about how meaningful wind is to him. This week we will continue to learn about Indigenous history and ways through stories, videos and art.  We also read a book called "The Sharing Circle" by Theresa Larsen-Jonasson. We are going to have our own sharing circle tomorrow! During literacy, we brainstormed, drew and wrote words that start with the letter "P", using inventive kid spelling. Ask me which words I chose to use in my visual journal! In math, we learned all sorts of ways to represen

Hello grade one families! WOW- we cannot believe that this is our last full week in grade one! 😭 We are so excited to finish off our year with tonnes of fun and learning. We were blown away by the grade one summer tree art inspired by Canadian artist and illustrator Barbara Reid. Today we worked on words that end in -ed. Some words that end in -ed have a "d" sound at the end and some words have a "t" sound. For example, loved (d) and splashed (t)! We did such a great job reading several words and identifying the ending sound. In math, we have been measuring the distance between 2 different objects using string! So much fun. Today we did the big bad wolf blow test on our houses... ask me what we used to test them! Our houses were SO STURDY that none of them blew down! We added roofs and other details to our houses and created 3 little pigs and a wolf with plasticine. They were amazing. Have a wonderful night! Love the grade one team 💚
