Dec 2 - 6

In room 3 and 4 we are counting down the days til Christmas break. Everyday we get to pop a balloon to reveal a fun activity to celebrate getting one day closer to the holidays.

In science we learnt about how to highlight key information we read in nonfiction books. We did some research into liquids and states of matter while practicing how to take jot notes.

In social we learnt about the Nunavut flag.

It has a red inuksuk—a traditional Inuit land marker—and a blue star, which represents the Niqirtsuituq, the North Star, and the leadership of elders in the community.

The colours blue and gold were selected to represent the riches of land, sea, and sky, while red is used to represent Canada as a whole.

Teacher's Pet was here on Thursday to teach us more about Ted Harrison and his art. 

Students noticed: - Natural forms are related to the environment 

                             - Natural forms have different surface qualities in colour, texture and tone

                             - Natural forms display patterns and make patterns

                             - All aspects of an artwork contribute to the story it tells
