Phys-Ed & Wellness

Students demonstrate how collaboration influences physical activity.

Students reflect and relate life experiences to perseverance and well-being.


What did students do?

Students listened to a reading of the book, The Dancing Trees. They engaged in a discussion about the character's resilience and perseverance and how his experiences changed and impacted him. Students then reflected on their outdoor school experience and identified one or more thing(s) that they found challenging at camp. They then shared how they persevered and showed resilience in meeting that challenge and how it changed them as a person. Students recorded this in their visual journals. 





Art & ELAL 

Students examine how text genres, forms, and structures support and enhance communication.

Students will use media and techniques, with an emphasis on mixing media and perfecting techniques in painting.

What did students do? 

In art, students discussed our school volunteers and the positive impact they have on our school and our learning opportunities. They talked about how they bring about positive change for our school and then looked at our focus - Volunteers bring waves of change. We watched a video on how to use acrylic paint to create realistic waves. Students then created an acrylic art piece with waves that will be displayed at our Volunteer Tea. Students wrote poetry to go along with their art. They had complete freedom on what form of poetry they would choose.

Jan 13 - 17, 2025 Phys-Ed Students analyze and apply strategies and tactics that support improved decision making in physical activities. Students demonstrate how collaboration influences physical activity. What Did Students Do? Students were involved in playing various territorial and invasion games such as Two-Ball, Castle, Tail Tag, and Three Ball. For all of these games, teamwork skills and strategizing was very important. Students needed to collaborate, communicate, and cooperate in order to achieve success. They were involved in kicking, running, throwing, and tagging. Each team needed to focus on defense while defending their territory and offense while invading the territory of the other team. With games such as two-ball there were many things happening all at once so they needed to be alert and aware. Students were engaged and excited to participate. We stopped regularly to evaluate what was working and what we needed to change so students had a voice in how the games progress...

December 9 - 13 ELAL Students enhance the accuracy and artistry of expression through creative and critical thinking processes. Establish a plot, point of view, setting, and problem through creative writing. What Did Students Do?: On Monday and Tuesday, students were given a pre-assessment for narrative writing. Using a picture prompt they wrote a story about the picture. This gave us, as teachers the opportunity to see where our students are at with their writing and what next steps we need to take to further their skills in narrative writing. On Wednesday students examined the elements of a narrative story: beginning, middle, end, problem, solution, character, and setting. Students used graphic organizers to examine the parts of their own story. They then looked at non-examples of written stories and identified the parts that were weak or missing. Students finished the week by annotating the parts in an example of a well written story using different colours for each part.  ...
