Happy Halloween! From Room 26

Happy Halloween everyone!  We had a great afternoon of Halloween celebration.  We dressed up, paraded around the gym and got to share snacks and a movie!  A giant THANK YOU to the families that provided snacks and drinks this time around.  We were definitely well-fed!

This week at school was fun!

One thing I learned was writing spooky stories.  It was interesting because now I know how to start a story and it was scary!

Another thing I learned was how to draw a Picasso-stein. One eye was looking to the side and one was looking to the front and it looks so cool!

One last thing I learned was about Venus Fly traps.  They close their mouth in less than one second.

One thing I will enjoy is having our Halloween party. I will enjoy this because there are lots of treats!

Another thing I enjoyed was making our art. I enjoyed this because Ms. Dodds put it on Artsonia and my mom and nana looked at it and they said they liked it!

My goal for this week is always finish homework.

I will do this by working hard at home.

3-2-1 update Oct 17/14

This week at school was very exhausting. One thing I learned was a little more about jot notes. Jot notes are something someone needs to know information from something and so they write the things from it that they need to know from it that is the most important info from it they need to remember.

Another thing I learned was how to say my birthday in French like mine is ving-cinq février, that’s the 25^th in February. I really liked it because I learned my birthday and it was fun and easy. Another thing I learned was a tiny bit about a dragons blood tree because we all did some research about plants on computers in the computer lab and I did dragons blood tree.

Also we made fall-trees with puzzle pieces as the leaves and we painted a water colour background. I enjoyed the painting because this week I got to finish mine by gluing my rest of the puzzle pieces I painted to put on my tree. Another thing I enjoyed was the sub gym teacher in gym because he was fun nice and I liked him. There’s a goal I want to do. My goal this week is to try to participate more in class.

Bag Up Manitoba!

Our Teacher Librarian, Mrs. Friesen is heading the "Bag Up Manitoba" initiative at BHS this year.

We are once again collecting as many plastic bags as we can from Sept 30 until Nov 1.  Our grade four Green Team is assisting with making posters to promote this and by helping count the many, many, many plastic bags we receive!  We will receive a garden box for the school made out of recycled bags and the top 14 school will get a bench.  Let's strive for that new bench!

Last year at Birds Hill we collected just over 3000 bags.  Let's see how many more we can collect this year! 3500? 4000?


DID YOU KNOW?! Last year, Manitoba students diverted 1 347 000 plastic bags from landfill!!

How many can we divert at BHS? Start sending in your bags today!

My week was fun and went by fast.  I learned about Canada.  On a piece of paper we put things we know about Canada, and the things we wonder.  I knew a lot about Canada.  Something else I learned was in music.  I learned how to play on the recorder "It's in the Bag."  There is a lot of Bs and As but not so much of the Gs.  The grade 3s learned "Hot Cross Buns" and we learned "It's in the Bag."


One last things I learned was in French.  We learned the seasons and our age. The season is "l'automne."  But I keep forgetting how to say my age!


One thing I enjoyed was the Terry Fox Run.  I got 10 out of 13.  Next year I want to get all 13.  My friend got all 13.  One more thing I enjoyed was the Friday sketch.  We drew a sheep.  Lots of my friends said it was good and I had to help my friend Iain do the legs.  I really like my friend's sheep, her name is Rebecca.  My goal is to get better at French.


Sincerely,

Olivia
