Mme Blais-Callaway and Mlle Henry’s classes combined for an interactive math literacy activity for Family Literacy Day at Holy Cross on Friday January 27th. Students worked together as programmers to write code for their “robots”. They had fun programming real robots and family members as they moved around various maps and activities.
Gr. 5/6 French Immersion take part in fun language learning on Literacy Day!
Students were invited to dress up as their favourite book character and they each prepared a presentation (en francais) about this character. Students then played a class game of “Taboo for Kids”, practicing French Literacy skills while having fun! Finally, each student received a family literacy day package to bring home to parents, with information on Family Literacy, tips for literacy at home, and resources for parents. A great day all around!
Science and Art Fun at Holy Cross
What happens when Science meets Art? An infusion of beautiful colours! Ms. Visentin’s Grade 2 students at Holy Cross School had an opportunity to experiment by inflating balloons to test whether air takes up space. The children then used the balloons and acrylic paint in order to explore what happens when you mix the primary colours. Amongst the “ahs” of surprise, the results were amazing as the patches of colours melted together and peaked textures were created as students twisted the balloons and applied varying pressure to their paper.
