Karen Gummo residency continues next week
Spring Break March 20-30th, 2020- no school
What did we learn?
- In gym, we played Quidditch. We would be on scooters and had jobs such as chasers, beaters and the seeker. Beaters had to tag the chasers passing the quaffle. Ms. Jones would throw a bouncy ball during the game which the seeker would try to catch.
- On Wednesday, we had science. We finished our rust test experiment. Most of the nails that rusted were the "galvanized" nails. They were not supposed to rust, so we will be redoing the experiment after spring break.
- Our last day with Karen Gummo was on Wednesday. She told us a story called Old Joe and the Carpenter. We each got into groups and retold the story as a skit.
- Today for social studies, we watched a video about Writing on Stone Provincial Park. We learned that petroglyphs are images that are carved in stone while pictographs are painted on stone.

Spring Break March 20-30th, 2020- no school
What did we learn?
- On Monday we had art and we made a good copy of the mountain landscape we did last week. Some people were not here, so we watched the video again. Most of us finished and they all look awesome. We used watercolour paints.
- Yesterday in math, the grade 4's learned a new game called Remainder Race. You had to spin a spinner and whoever had the highest number would have to divide it by 19. If you got a remainder you moved the number of the remainder on the game board. If you didn't get a remainder you didn't move.
- For Science we did an experiment were we tested arches. We made a curved and square arch out of paper and we also used a plastic cup and plasticine to hold it together.
- Karen Gummo came to us to do language arts. We shared stories in a sharing circle after she told us about "The Curious Girl". Tomorrow is our last day with her.

What did we learn?
- On Thursday in science, we looked at our rust experiment and observed week two of observations. Then we made a rectangular pillar and we tested it for its strength and stability.
- Today we did a STEM challenge and we had to build a windmill with binder clips, straws, craft sticks, and paper. No tape or glue was allowed. When all the groups were ready, we went outside to test them. All our groups windmills twitched in the breeze. Then we came inside and tested it with a fan.
- We had stuffie day on Wednesday. We brought our stuffies to school and we got our pictures taken at a photo booth in the learning commons. It was a fun day.

What did we learn?
- Yesterday in art we did a new art piece. We used water colour paints. We made a mountain landscape and there was many layers. It looks very cool!
- Today in gym we started scooters as our new unit. We played a game called spaghetti and meatballs. The meatballs would roll a ball on the floor and try and hit the scooters. The spaghetti noodles would try and tag people and everyone else had to avoid them both.
- For math we did our math stretch questions. After the grade 3's finished their array questions from yesterday while the grade 4's practiced division with remainders. Then we played math games.
- This week we had a woman named Karen come in for the writing residency. She told us stories like How the Bear Stole the Chinook, How the Blackfoot Land came to be and the story of Wapi and the Prairie Anemone.
