October 7 - 11

Last week, students began using leaves as printmaking stamps. We completed the leaf art this week by using sponges to dab Fall colours around the leaves. We will display these artworks on our bulletin boards.
We had a great day at the Leighton Centre. Room 7 enjoyed some painting activities, while Room 8 made wire sculptures. We all enjoyed the breathtaking scenery and sketched the view in our mini sketchbooks.
In Science, students designed cargo boats from tin foil. They made predictions and tested a variety of cargo. Some boats worked suprisingly well and managed to carry a fairly heavy load without sinking.
