It was a great week with lots of fun activities for the grade 4’s! On Wednesday, students attended the “Freeze DNA Comic Tour” presentation and learned some drawing techniques from published comic illustrators. On Thursday, we enjoyed some delicious meals & snacks from five food trucks, and students enjoyed eating their lunches outside. On Friday, all grade 4 students participated in some bowling fun at Bowling Depot! We also have an upcoming field trip to Heritage Park on Wednesday, June 12th and are looking for some parent volunteers to join us. 4C has three confirmed volunteers so far and we are looking for one more! In humanities this week, students learned about the steps leading to Alberta becoming a province of Canada. We looked at the reasons why Alberta wanted to become a province; discussion around where the new borders would be; what the new provincial name would be, and which community would become the new capital. It took years of discussion and debate before Alberta was established as a new province in 1905. We also discussed the formation of communities, and how Alberta’s population was becoming more diverse with people coming from different cultures and countries to settle on farms, and in towns and cities.
Students presented their radio announcements in class on Tuesday and did a great job! We also continued with our focus on poetry by writing bio & rainbow poems, and started looking at Haiku poetry which will be incorporated into an art project next week. Have a great weekend! —Ms. Jagger
