Colour Mixing

Last week we began our first class inquiry - all about colours and colour mixing. We learned about primary and secondary colours with Mme. Lepage.
 

 

We created a classroom colour wheel together.

 

We conducted a colour experiment using food colouring, water and paper towel. We made predictions and documented our observations.

We sorted and threaded different coloured beads to create a classroom hanging colour display.

 

 

We graphed our favourite colours and conducted classroom surveys.

 

 

 

We read the book Mix it Up.

 

We read The Black Book of Colours.

 

 

Ask your child:

• What are some colour words in French?
• What are primary colours?
• When colours do you make when you mix: blue and red, yellow and blue, red and yellow?

Family Tree

Just a reminder, we are still looking to create a classroom family tree. It is a wonderful way to create a sense of community and make our classroom feel more like home. Please send a family picture to school with your child.

Thank you!

Library

Today we got to visit the learning commons for the first time. Mrs. Jenn told us all about the library and showed us around. We listened to a story and chose our own book.

Students will be visiting the library every other Monday. Our next visit will be Monday October 3^rd. Please make sure to return library books to school by that date.

Happy reading!

Welcome

Welcome to a new school year! We are delighted to see our SK's and meet all of our new JK's. We've had a wonderful first week and are grateful for your continuous support in making the transition to school a smooth one.

We know how hard the first day of school can be and how quickly they grow up. We are excited to be part of your child's learning journey this year and to watch them grow and develop.
