4B had a wonderful opportunity to learn with Rachel Bell as they explored Indigenous history and culture. Students investigated where First Nations communities and reserves are located across Canada, helping them develop a deeper understanding of the land and the people who have called it home for generations.

Students also learned how to introduce themselves in Mi’kmaw, discussed the importance and meaning of sitting together in a circle, and put their learning into action by practising movement using the four cardinal directions—north, south, east, and west.

A meaningful, hands-on learning experience that brought history, geography, language, and culture together! 🧭🧡

4B had a wonderful time exploring colour, creativity, and blending techniques through our autumn pumpkin art! Students experimented with oil pastels, learning how to blend and mix different colours to create new shades and add depth to their artwork. Each student made their pumpkin unique by choosing their own colour combinations and experimenting with different blending techniques. We loved seeing everyone’s creativity shine as our classroom filled with beautiful autumn colours! 🎨🍁🎃

What better way to develop an understanding of the passage of time than to experience just how quickly a minute can fly by! 4B put their time sense to the test with a series of exciting Minute to Win It challenges. Each activity gave students a hands-on opportunity to experience the length of one minute while problem-solving, persevering, and cheering on their classmates.

Students competed in three challenges: Let It Roll, where they tried to roll three ping-pong balls into cups at the opposite end of the table; Moving on Up, where they raced to move through a stack of 20 cups using only one hand; and Tower of Terror, where they had to carefully remove cue cards from between stacked cups without sending their tower tumbling!

There was lots of excitement, teamwork, laughter, and some very close finishes! Most importantly, students discovered that one minute can feel very different depending on what you’re doing!

Our Grade 4 students turned simple strips of construction paper into personal sculptures that tell a story about who they are!

Each colour and shape represented a different fact about the student. For example, a student who likes sports created an orange arch, while a student who was born outside of New Brunswick added a black zigzag. Students followed the secret code to bend, fold, curl, twist and shape their paper before arranging the pieces into their own unique 3-D sculpture.

The best part? At first glance, they simply look like colourful pieces of art—but when you know the code, you can “read” each sculpture and discover more about the artist!

This activity was a fun way to combine art, creativity, following directions, fine-motor skills and community building, while celebrating all the similarities and differences that make our classroom special.

Our finished pieces are now proudly displayed under our “All About Us – Read our sculptures to learn more about us” display!
