January in FSP2

Well, we made it through January! Our classroom team was actually surprised at how well the transition back into class went, following the Christmas Break! During the month, we engaged in a ton of learning and inquiry....
In gym, we discovered that we all LOVE hockey! We spent every gym class practicing our skills and finally moved towards some actual games. In February, we will begin a unit in dance. We're looking forward to seeing everyone's moves!
In science, we discovered that many of us are interested in learning about bones and skeletons and systems of the body. We will be exploring these interests over the next few weeks.
In literacy, we have been working together to produce media texts such as posters, videos and games relating to our Eco Schools project. We have also been developing our computer skills on our new Chromebooks!! This is super exciting!!
In visual art, we explored the concept of line. We created lines with coloured tape, with paper, plastic and finally, with spaghetti.

Over the next few weeks, we will be focusing on friendships and relationships with others and on how we can be a good friend as well as on how we can be good to ourselves. We will be practicing and learning a song about helping and being helped by others.... Once we have it polished, expect a video of us performing it!! Stay tuned!
