Working from a plan to build a STURDY house that can’t be blown down by the big bad wolf! Yesterday we planned, today we build, tomorrow we test!

Today was our testing day! Our structures were sturdy and balanced! They didn’t blow over! Reflecting on what went well and what we might change next time.

So much to see in one day is so true!!! We had a great day, and we learned some interesting adaptations that Penguins have to help them survive and thrive 🐧 Huge thank you to parent volunteers!! We couldn’t do it without you 👏👏👏

Today we toured the City of Calgary virtually! What a fun trip it was! Grade 1 friends had so many connections to the many places we saw on the tour! “I’ve been there!” “Me too!” “My dad works there!” “I go there with my family”

We learned two new math games this week! Both of these games help us add to 20. All you need is cards ♠️♥️♣️♦️to play addition war. And you only need a dice to play PIG 🐷 Ask me to show you how to play!

A fun game of team tic tac toe and a challenge to use team work to get across the gym in Busy body club this morning!

Tomorrow is colour day! Grade 1’s are wearing green if they have green clothes! We will create a whole school rainbow 🌈

We can’t wait to show you what we learned with Sound Creations! All are welcome for standing room only in the gym tomorrow at 10:30. Grade 1 friends are asked to wear purple or blue for the performance tomorrow

Today we celebrated colour day as a whole school ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Problem solving with emojis this morning! 😜😍😁 we used our favourite math tools to help us: number lines and of course…. Our fingers!

Thank you Microscope Mark from Mad Science for an awesome afternoon of science learning using Lego! Amazing bridges were designed, tested and reimagined! Thank you to WDS Council for your generosity in making this possible!

What an exciting day to welcome our grade 8 buddies from HD Cartwright! We shared our books with them and taught them a math game! We can’t wait for the next time when they teach us a gym game!😊😊😊

We explored Nature’s Pace today through the lens of a biologist! We had certain things to find, and had to classify those things as living or non living. We need to do some research on pine cones! Living or non living 🤔

Hats on for mental health! What makes you feel better when you are sad? Or mad? We have many things we can do to help ourselves feel better 😘

A true lesson in never giving up! In-line skating! We did it! And we can’t wait to do it again! Please bring your bike helmet if you have one for our next skating time!

Not only can we can get up today… we can do this!!!! 🙌👏🙌👏

We are reviewing shapes this week. We have discovered that we are experts at making shapes out of different shapes!

Can I tell you what symmetrical means? What about a ‘half’? Can I explain what ‘whole’ means? We are having fun with shapes!

It was the best afternoon learning new games from our big buddies! Thank you grade 8 students at HDC!

We are in awe at how quickly our beans are growing!
