T'was the week before Christmas...

and 4C is still slaving away!  Mrs. Campbell is back, refreshed and ready to teach!  The students enjoyed practicing their multiplication facts using the interactive dice on the Smart Board.  The Smart Board never fails to amaze me!  Touch the dice and it rolls!  The kids wait with eager anticipation to see what the numbers will be and to be the first to solve it!



In Health we will be working on ideas relating to Body Image.   Using Magazines we cut out pictures and made a collage of people.  With that collage we listed characteristcs that were common throughout the pictures.  We pretended to be aliens and wondered how aliens would perceive ALL humans if they only had media! See some examples below of student collages.


Aliens might think that all humans must be muscular and play sports!

Aliens might think that ALL humans are happy all of the time!

In Science we are completing our unit on Light and Shadow.  Using the Netbooks, students each had a Specific Learner Outcome in the form of a question that they had to answer.  Once they had answered the question, they created a powerpoint slide showing their question, their answer and pictures or words to help describe it.  Examples of these Outcome questions are:
Does the moon produce it's own light?
Does the length of a shadow change throughout the day?
How are good relfectors alike?
