The children will bring home all of their works of art at the end of the school year.
So nice.
Lots of different shades.
We're waiting!
Also, don't forget to send in those purple slips indicating what you will be bringing to the Breakfast on the Shore taking place on the Wednesday of next week.
Have a great evening everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT

Plenty of smiles.
Time for some sharing.
Our poetry.
We wrote a variety of poems.
Some were about us.
Some took on special shapes.
Looking good.
Some poems provided excuses...
...to get out of specific chores we might not want to complete.
The children enjoyed writing their poems.
They were so creative.
Throughout the next few days we will hold a "poet's corner".
The boys and girls will get to share their poems out loud.
Mr. Hamer will bring in his microphone.
So they will have fun reading to their peers.
What would you write, moms and dads?
If you could be something else?
This is an "I Like" poem.
Which tells us a little more about you.

Very special.

Finger painting is so much fun!
The image evolves as each student gets their turn.

Day 153 - Thursday, May 9
Yesterday, the pupils all had a turn to finger paint our canvas.
We chose to showcase some "Contemporary Art" for our contribution to the school wide cause.
Mr. Hamer pulled the masking tape off the canvas and outlined the various segments using a chisel point permanent marker.
Note how the final product also had the sections wrap around the side of the artwork.
The children are proud to pose with the canvas...
...seeing as they were the ones who painted it!
We chose to call the artwork a name relevant to the three colours.
We call it "Earth and Sun".
The challenge we faced was trying to have same colours not touch too much.
We feel we've done a pretty good job in that department.
It will be interesting to see what all of the the other classes chose to create.
It doesn't matter in which juxtaposition the students hold the painting...
...for it looks great in any of the four ways it can displayed.
This painting will help brighten up any household.
Gee, I wish that I could place a bid on it!
Lovely.
Our creation has found its way atop the shelves in the learning commons with other compositions from classes around the school.
Two beauties.
Two fabulous creations.
Two more creative works.
Two great additions to the gallery.
Ditto again!
We headed to the arcade in the gymnasium.
Our grade six pupils did a fabulous job putting it all together.
Superb game creations.
Mrs. Brigitte and Ms. Fyfe.
I check in at recess time.
The gym is empty.
This provides me the opportunity to snap a few shots of all of the games.
Then it's our class's turn to visit.
We spot some interesting game that appeal to us.
Even though all of them are interesting.
The grade six students offer sage advice.
Sibling love.
So nice to see!
Total focus.
Some auxiliary devices as well.

Loving siblings!
Some aerial shots.
From atop the stage.
Keeners.
Exciting times.
Back in class we began some art work of our own.
Yellows, oranges and greens.
Some cutting involved too!
What a great Grade Five helper!
We'll share the artwork created here...later over the weekend.
As promised...some more images from our kindergarten visit by our city's fire fighters.
The big red truck certainly draws their attention.
The kinder had lots of questions for the firemen and women.
He must be hot in that amount of gear.
Ms. Melanie sits with her troup.
Ms. Stephanie helps a little down from the truck.
Still more questions.
It was great that the weather co-operated on Wednesday.
A great class shot with the crew!
Have a great evening everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT
Day 154 - Friday, May 10
Mrs. Blackmore, Mrs. Johnson and Mr. Hamer enjoyed a wonderful day with our choir at the Education Week Choral Celebration. This image is courtesy of our school's superintendent.

Then all of the parents were invited to the stage.
Where they listened to the massed choirs...some dozen ensembles from schools all around the board. The massed choir filled all of the seats.
We performed two massed songs which all of the choirs had learned over that past couple of months back at their own schools.
These next four images come from our school's Twitter feed.
The teachers took on the grade six pupils in a basketball game in block four.
Who won the game?
You'll have to ask you child! Check in on Sunday which is Mother's Day!
Have a super weekend everyone! Mr. Hamer OCT
