U2 Finishing Off - Sharing the Planet

 "O Tannenbaum, O Tannenbaum,

Wie treu sind deine Blätter!"
What a wonderful cold morning, our 'fireplace' was lit and the children gathered around the DSKI Christmas Tree for its annual lighting tradition.
There were some musical performances and beautiful songs sung before being gifted with the magnificently hand-crafted advent calendars. 
A big THANK YOU to our Advent Calendar parents for making these wonderful advent calendars and to the PTA Christmas team and parents for turning the school into a spirited Christmas haven.
Advent Calendars
Waiting with bated breath the Grade 3s were very keen on discovering the cool activities hidden inside their advent calendar. From stickers to Christmas jokes each day has had something different for the students to enjoy.


ART to END FOSSIL FUELS
After creating a presentation based around their own inquiries, the Grade Threes looked at different pieces of art work that expressed ways for us to think of stopping fossil fuel consumption. They then created their own pieces of art based on fossil fuels and what they would like to communicate to their community and the rest of the world.
Here is a sneak peak...


Renewable Energy Alternatives
Groups, with their renewable resource, were randomly generated and formed by our trusty 'spinning wheel', once the groups were made the Grade Threes were keen to get started. 
They selected a leader and practiced self-management skills by designating a set time to achieve each stage of their project, helping bring them closer to completing their poster presentation as a team within their groups.

🎶  2 WEEKS TO GO!  🎶  Our Upper Primary students continue to give it their all during our 'UP Spring Musical' practice sessions. Afterall, we only have 2 weeks left to practice as a team! SWIMMING The excitement was real on Monday, the long awaited anticipation for their swimming lessons had finally arrived and our Grade 3s were bursting at the seams with enthusiasm. Their swimming coaches gave feedback on how great all our little swimmers were, good job guys! LAMENTATION Going back to 1930, the Reverential Rhinos got in touch with their emotions and feelings after watching a movement piece by Martha Graham called, Lamentation. I was super impressed with their descriptive words to explain what they felt after watching the video. THANK YOU🍬 Some spoils from Greece! We are super thankful for how thoughtful and caring our fellow classmates are, bringing back a piece of his holiday from Greece to share with us, YUMMY! 🌍🌎🌏 Pop into the STEM room and check out the Grade 3...

  My Wonder Wall Brick Learning about the natural features of the earth and what is classified as natural phenomena, the Reverential Rhino's had many interesting questions about the 'hazardous side' of nature. They took to their Wonder Wall and built it higher with questions to help get them started on their inquiry cycle.  - Do natural disaster's happen on other planets? - Could lava from a volcanic eruption cause a wild fire? - How do tornado's come about? Who said Mathematics can't be tasty!? Some excitement in class to aid us in learning about data collection, interpretation, graphs and diagrams. We used marbles - no, not the ones that roll on the ground, the ones made by Meiji that you put in your mouth - to help us sort, classify and display our recordings in the form of a chart, diagram and graph.  During English, we explored various connective words that help us join sentences together to make them understandable and more appealing. Ballet Dancers As par...
