Judy Blume : Tales of a fourth grade nothing
In class we are reading Judy Blume - Tales of a fourth grade nothing. Peter and Fudge's dad is making a commercial for Juicy-O. So, Mme. Said that our project in English is to make our very own Juicy-O commercial. She placed us in groups of 3 or 4 students and we had to plan it out and film it using the classroom I-pads. The students will also be I charge of evaluating each others commercials.

Immunization
On Thursday, we got two needles. We had to sit in the hallway to wait for our immunization. We got the needles in the science lab. There were 3 nurses giving the needles. After we got our needles, we want to the art room and ate cookies and drank apple juice. It stung for a while but we survived.

Stomp
In music class we are doing a video in groups of 4-5 people. The goal is to make music with different objects without using instruments. Once it's filmed we will all have a chance to watch the videos.

I Pads
The I Pads are here! In class we have 7 I Pad minis. We use the I Pads for projects like concours d'art oratoire and the Juicy-O commercials. The I Pads help us to translate words. We can research different things or subjects. We are using the app. I Movie to make commercials. We are enjoying using them and are excited to explore and use the other apps.

Ace Burpee
Yesterday, Ace Burpee a radio announcer for 103.1 Virgin radio came to our school for I love to read month. He read a wolf book and a Paul and Suzanne book. They were both funny. He told us a little bit about himself and we had a blast!

Rocks and minerals & Manitoba
In sciences we are studying rocks and minerals. We've been looking at different rocks and minerals and reading books about them. Students from the class have been bringing different rocks and minerals to school to show the whole class and talk about them and tell us about what typeof rock it is.

 Mosaic mural
Dimitri the mosaic artist is working with the school to make 3 different mosaic murals. A mosaic is an art piece of cut up tiles. The first mosaic is an E.R.B sign with 50 hearts to celebrate the school's 50th anniversary. The second one is the Nothern lights in the shape of a maple leaf to represent Canada and community. The third one is a sign in front of the school that says École.
