This week, we remembered those who have sacrificed so much to keep our country free. We enjoyed decorating and making our own special poppy pins, thanks to some help from our friends at Pitt Meadows Secondary and their button-making machine. We practiced singing "Oh Canada" in both French and English, participated in a school-wide Zoom assembly, reflected on what "peace" means to us, and made our own peace plates. (Special thanks to Madame's TTOC for following through with this activity and taking a picture for us!) We also took a walk to the cenotaph and noticed the names on there of people who had died to keep us safe. We were very intrigued by this and wanted Madame to read out every name inscription for us. A special presenter came to our class this week to talk to us about the word "empathy". She was very impressed with how much we already seemed to understand about the word and we came up with all kinds of real-life examples of how we can be empathetic with the people around us. In Math, we have been learning more about shapes and how to identify them. We had so much fun going on a shape scavenger hunt outside! We couldn't believe how many shapes were all around us that we don't even normally think about! Madame even introduced us to her own version of "Mambo No. 5" to help us learn the names of the shapes. Thanks, Lou Bega, for the inspiration! ;-) And one more random picture, because it's adorable...
