This week we finished up the Sock Creature Project by making little books, badge name pins and a "summer" movie.

The class learned the song "Summer Holiday" made famous by the English singer Cliff Richard. At the end of the week, we performed the song along with our dancing sock creatures for the principal!

In math, we finished up our review of patterning, multiplication and algebra.

The worms in the composter are working hard to break down the vegetable and fruit scraps that were put in the bin.

The students are listening to the classic story, "The Hundred Dresses" (1944) by Eleanor Estes. This is a timeless story about bullying and how everyone can stop bullying by speaking up when something is said or done to tease someone else.

Pepper's class joined us to make "summer journals" that the students can use over the summer to write, draw and glue stuff inside. These will be sent home next week.

On Friday, our class finally had a chance to have some time with the school's visiting artist, Susie. She taught the class some drawing techniques. Each student drew one of his/her shoes and filled in the spaces with coloured plasticine. Back in the classroom we put the artwork on thick cardboard, complete with a Father's Day message for this weekend's holiday.
