Chinook brings warm winds...

Wednesday and Thursday have been busy, full afternoons with practicing and recording for Mr. O'Reilly and the CBC music contest. We have learned what real life musicians go through when they are rehearsing and recording and filming. It is a lot of waiting and we did really well practicing patience and singing and playing along.

Thanks to those who have shared musically with us this week. Trinity, Tessa and Carmen shared their harmonicas and Colin sang a song - "Star light, Star bright." We just have next week left to share something musical, so if you haven't shared and want to, please do that next week.

We painted our colour wheels today with the TERTIARY colors. Did you know that the primary colour comes first when you combine a primary and a secondary colour? (Red-purple, or yellow-orange). Ask us about the other colors.

We also worked on our self-portraits and most of us are done our practice portrait. We will discuss our features and get ready for our good copy next week.

Today, we read the book Thunder Boy Jr. about a boy and his name. Ask us to finish the sentence "I once.....so maybe my name should be....." If you know a story about our name or why you gave us our names, please tell us so we can share with the class next week.

Tomorrow is FRESH AIR FRIDAY. Please remind us to dress for the weather. Some of us had lots of fun outside, but got pretty wet and dirty. Thank you to everyone who washes our clothes!!
