Using Laptops in the Classroom

The Grade 5 and 6 class love learning with laptops! Having laptops in the classroom gives the students the opportunity to work on their computer skills and learn how to use programs that will help them in their studies.  One of the biggest achievements the students have made was learning how to use video editing software.  They have filmed and edited several enjoyable features that they have shared with the rest of the school.

Aviation

The Grade 5 and 6 class is learning about aviation.  They have a whole assortment of planes to explore the different elements that contribute to successful flight.

Eleanor Rigby Recorder Duet

The grade 5 and 6 class wanted to learn how to play the song Eleanor Rigby by The Beatles after hearing the song in their classroom.  Their music teacher made it happen.  The final product had separate parts for each student and sounded truly wonderful.

Making Sugar Plums

The upper grades were thankful to have a special guest come in to teach them how to make sugar plums.  Thank you Lynn Starkey for volunteering your time and expertise.  A great time was had by all!
