Grade four (2018/2019) has officially come to a close in portable two. What a great year it was! Thank you for such an awesome year! Here is a glimpse of what we were up to during the last four weeks of school:
WDHS Concert Band and Choir – We travelled to the highschool to see a performance from the band and choir. The students really enjoyed it. See pics below:
Track and Field Assembly – We had an assembly to present the Track and Field medals. See pics below:
Bike Rodeo – We travelled to the arena for the annual bike rodeo. See pics below:
Maths – Students worked in partners to solve math problems that involved two-digit by one digit multiplication as well as two-digit by one-digit division. Then, we went on a gallery walk to discuss the math. See pics below:
Rugby Lessons – Jackson Scott from the Norfolk County Harvesters volunteered his time to come and teach us how to play rugby. See pics below:
Old Town Hall Art Gallery Visit – We walked to the Art Gallery to see/discuss Beverly Hawksley’s work on display. The picture below is of Claire Senko talking to us about the art exhibit and answering our questions:
Musical Performance from Mike Hogg and Patrick Campbell– The students enjoyed an acoustic performance from these talented musicians. We sang along and listened to stories about the songs and their instruments. See pic below:
Bucket Drumming at the Volunteer Tea – We did our bucket drumming performance for the volunteers at the annual volunteer tea. The students did an excellent job. You will see a picture below of us waiting to perform:
Yummy Popsicles – Here is a picture of “the fabulous fours” enjoying some popsicles on a hot, sunny day:
Medieval Times Field Trip – It was a great field trip. Waterford Public School was cheering for the red knight. Unfortunately, he didn’t win but we still had a great time! See pics below:
Helping out The Old Town Hall – The rainbow flag was stolen from the Old Town Hall so, Waterford Public School decided to help them out by making a whole bunch of flags and planting them on the front lawn of the Old Town Hall. See pics below of our adventure:
Planting Giant Mammoth Sunflower Seeds in our Pollinator Garden – We collected compost all year. Then, we shoveled the stinky stuff into the garden boxes. We added some other nutrient rich soil and now we have a nice bed for our seeds. The seeds have been planted and by the time we come back in September, they will be really tall and blooming proudly. Here are some pics of the fabulous fours sitting by the garden boxes:
