Summer tabloid!

This week in Mr.b's class we had a summer tabloid. A tabloid is a day where all classes in the school go to different stations with different activities some involving water. Heritage alumni came to help man stations. We had a blast! Here's some pictures from the events.

WSO Field Trip!

Last week rooms 19,14 and 20 went to the Winnipeg symphony!  Throughout the week our music teacher had been preparing us by listening to the music they would be playing, teaching us songs and even doing art with the song dance of the knights. The symphony was amazing all of the instruments and the choir was really good! A fellow student at heritage was in the choir and her artwork was featured during dance of the knights. Our school was very lucky to go this year and it was a wonderful experience. Written by Katie

Multiplication? By Garrick

Multiplication may be difficult for some Gr. 4's, but don't be scared. Here is an example, 2 x 2 = ?
To get the answer, you need to do repeated addition (2 + 2 = 4). So, 2 x 2 = 4.

Math, Art and Peter Pan!

This week in math, we had a lesson on multiplication which involved Paul Klee's artwork. Mr. B showed us some artwork from Paul Klee and then had us use a grid paper to do our own art. It was very fun! Here are some pictures of the artwork.

Paul Klee's Once Emerged in the Gray of Night

Also this week, on Friday, we went to watch some of our classmates in the Divisional Theatre Musical Production of Peter Pan at Westwood Collegiate! A big applause goes out to Katie, Grace, Naomi and Kaylee for a wonderful job. We also got to see some former Heritage students at the show. It was fantastic!

Buddies

Every Day 6, during period 5, we have buddies with the Kindergarten class in Room 3. Sometimes, we go just to socialize and team build by playing with them, and sometimes we go to read, learn and teach them. This week we all learned about Hannah Taylor, the founder of the Ladybug Foundation. After learning about Hannah, we read books to our buddies. My buddy wasn't there, so I read with my friend instead. It was fun!

Narnia Read Aloud

This week at school we started reading one of the Chronicles of Narnia books called, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe." We started to read it on Monday, but I've been looking forward to reading it for a while now. I want to know what's on the other side of the wardrobe. Some of us have never read the book or seen the movie. We are doing a novel study with the book, which includes multiple activities. It's been really fun so far!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2015!

Hello all,

It's the start of a new year and we are ready to hit it full throttle as we start some new programs in Room 14, including a weekly blog section which the students will be writing themselves! Along with the new blog postings will also be a revised and updated, "What's Up! Heritage," which the students in Room 14 will be taking on every week. I look forward to some exciting learning and new ideas this year and can't wait to continue working with these students to help them grow into fabulously awesome citizens!

A New Year means........

Transformations

Play Doh Scenes from Paranorman

We have been reading aloud the book, "Paranorman," by Elizabeth Cody Kimmel. While reading we do various comprehension strategies. One strategy that the kids have loved is recreating a scene using Play Doh. Some of the groups also decided to work together to recreate a large scene. Here are some of their wonderful creations.

The Wall of Dreams

Explain? Everything?

Yes, parents and friends, that is what we are doing. Using the Extension of Learning Devices (iPads) in class the students are working hard to explain division using the app "Explain everything." Students are learning why we use technology to enhance their understanding of division.

Great job Naomi, Charlotte & Kaylee on your fabulous performance of The Little Mermaid.

Cereal Drive

Are you wondering what the cereal drive is? We need your help to bring in 200 boxes of cereal by November 28 for people in need this holiday season. A couple weeks ago, we made a list of what we would like for christmas. Then, we found out that there are families in our community that wanted a lot less than what we wanted, including food. Food! That's something we take for granted. We always have food. Many families get hampers during the holidays, but cereal is often an overlooked non-perishable food item. Thats why we need your help! Please bring cereal to Heritage School.
