Gr 1

This week the gr 1s learned about Remembrance Day in Social Studies. We discussed conflict and how it can lead to war. We took a look at the impact of war in terms of human and environmental casualties. The importance and original of wearing poppies was discussed. Take a look at the poppies your children made:

In Art, we are learning a little bit about ancient Egypt. We listened to some music from Egypt and viewed some ancient art. Then the students followed a step by step lesson on how to draw a scarab. I will post pictures of some of the scarabs next week! 

In PE we have been working on throwing and catching. The students learned a new game called Bench Ball that we also play in gr 2/3. They had a great time!
