After learning about the primary colours, the children tried some colour mixing. It looks like magic!

Painting With Water Colours
The students always look forward to what we will see and do at the Art Museum and this trip was no exception. We had a wonderful time looking at and comparing paintings by artists from Saskatchewan, Ontario and Newfoundland. Then, it was into the hands-on room to make our own water colour paintings.
Later, our paintings will be displayed near the front of the museum for EVERYONE to see who comes for a visit.
One of the big surprises for the students was the size of the bus we used (much smaller than one they had been on before). Some of the students asked for a picture of it to be put onto our blog, so here it is!
Moments From Our Week
Making Snowmen
Christmas Concert
To make sure the students could concentrate on their dancing at the concert, we recorded them singing Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer ahead of time (thanks, Mr. Orescanin!) and played it as they did their line dance. They were fabulous!

Jingle Dance
One of my former students visited my class today to perform a First Nations Jingle Dance for us. She even taught some of the braver children how to do the dance.
From her, we learned that the Jingle Dance is a healing dance and that if we weren’t feeling well, the sound of the jingles would help us to feel better.
Remembering
To honour our soldiers who have served in many wars and peace keeping missions for Canada, the school set up a Wall of Honour and display. These are some of the posters from our class that are part of the display.
Below are other views of the display, including photos of relatives of our students who have served.
