- Our "Career Fridays" are now over, but we have heard nothing but positive feedback from both students as well as presenters! We are very please with how well this project went and how receptive our grade 5 students were.

Physical Education
Students receive two 45-minute Physical Education classes with Mrs. Keizer, our Phys. Ed. teacher. To make up the 30 minutes missing, we have a Phys. Ed. class taught in our classroom. I alternate between physical activities and theory.
Music
Students attend a 30 minute class with our Music specialist, Mrs. Smart. To make up the difference, they also receive a 30 minute Music period in the classroom. We will be preparing for a Lip Sync Battle in the coming month!
Art
Students continue to work on various Art projects, following our grade 3-5 Art outcomes from the curriculum. We have explored watercolour painting, mixed media, drawing and oil/chalk pastels. A piece is modelled by the teacher, discussing various techniques with students then completing their own piece. Creativity is highly valued and thinking outside the box is encouraged!
