This week, our class had an exciting opportunity to work with Trickster Theatre as we explored the province of New Brunswick through drama and movement. Students learned how to work together using bamboo poles as part of the performance, practicing coordination, timing, and teamwork.

As part of the process, students helped create the title of our show, “Fundy Fight,” inspired by the powerful tides of the Bay of Fundy and the stories we explored about the province. It was wonderful to watch students collaborate, share ideas, and bring their learning to life on stage.

Everyone did a fantastic job creating and performing, showing creativity, confidence, and teamwork throughout the week.

Thank you to everyone who was able to come out and support the show on Thursday night. The students were so proud to share their hard work with you! 🎭

Welcome to our grade four class blog! We have had a fantastic first week of learning in our classroom. Our focus has been on getting to know one another and building a positive classroom community.

Throughout the week, the students reflected on the following Wellness I can statements: I can communicate respectfully. I can compromise. I can reflect on actions taken. I can make repeated efforts to solve a problem. In a connection between our Wellness and Mathematics curricula, we looked at the question, Our Class Should Be ... Every Day .

Our focus in math was the learning outcomes: I can collect and interpret data. I can represent data in a bar graph. Below are some photographs from our week. ...

  This week, our class focused on using sketchnotes in our visual journals. Sketchnotes combine simple drawings, symbols, and keywords to capture important ideas in a creative and memorable way. They help students listen carefully, make connections, and organize their thinking while also boosting recall. We practiced sketchnoting during our whole-class read-aloud of A Wolf Called Wander . Students used images and words together to highlight what stood out to them in the story, helping them understand the events more deeply and remember key details in a fun and personal way. I can examine elements of fictional texts, including main plots, characters, and points of view.  The work examples below are from students who wanted their work included on the blog.
