Science - Testing with Materials and DesignsStudents are busy working in centers to test the strength of materials and to experiment with techniques for joining in connection with our Testing Materials unit. They have learned what a fair test is and continue to use this scientific thinking throughout their work. Science - Hearing and Sound
Novel Study - CrenshawAs part of our learning to read for detail, students were asked to find specific description of the main character's imaginary friend - a cat named Crenshaw. They then were challenged to draw what he might look like based upon the descriptions that they found. Culture of EPSAs we observed our school through our investigations of quality of life and the culture here at Elbow Park School, students developed some ideas of what we could do to make our school even better.
Their work as anthropologists, observing and analyzing the data they collected, led students to believe that there are three areas where they, as grade 3/4 students, could help to improve our school: Physical Safety, Emotional Safety, and Trust. They are currently working on ways to share their message with other students throughout our school. Students are working by themselves or in small groups to create posters, slide shows, podcasts, and videos to share what they have noticed and what we all could do to improve. Although these posters are not totally completed, we have shared some below.
