MATH: STEM AND LEAF PLOTS
The class has been continuing with our Data Management Unit. We recently learned how to collect and display data on a Stem and Leaf Plot. Students chose a question, surveyed their friends, displayed their data and explained what information you can learn from their Stem and leaf Plot.
LEARNING BUDDIES
The class has really been enjoying spending time with their Kindergarten Learning Buddies. Last week we performed out Holiday Concert songs to each other and then they worked together using their Chromebooks to create and solve word searches. This week the Grade 4's helped their buddy with a measurement activity.
DRAMA: Boy Called Bat Tableaux
Students worked in groups to create tableaux of important scenes from our class novel study of a A Boy Called Bat. Students took pictures of their tableaux and explained why they thought that was an important part of the book so far.
ART: Stained Glass Trees
This week we looked at some pictures of stained glass and discussed where we might find stained glass art in our everyday lives (i.e. windows, doors, churches). Students had the creative choice to paint their background with watercolour any colour or pattern they wanted. While that was drying, they cut small squares of tissue paper and glued it on to paper, to create their "stained glass", by overlapping colours. Next, they cut out triangles as the trees and used their knowledge of foreground, middleground and background to place the different sized trees on their painted watercolour paper. Finally, they added hole punches to represent snow and added branches with oil pastel. The final products have been hung up in our portable to add some holiday cheer!
