Lights, Camera, Action!

This morning we started working on our big version of our self-portraits. We are making them on very special watercolour paper. Today we started by sketching our portraits with very light pencil lines. Next week we will use watercolour paints to add the colour.

After recess we did graphs to go with our 4 choices surveys. We needed to have 4 towers in our bar graph this time to show how many people wanted each of our choices. Today's graphs were a bit more challenging because we used smaller graph paper and had to write our numbers and labels very carefully to fit them in the correct spaces.

This afternoon we had our recording session for our CBC music class project. Ashton's dad came to help video our performance. We learned that you have to be really quite when the recording is about to start because the microphones are really sensitive and will pick up any tiny sounds we are making. We also learned that it is important to work as a team and to play in unison so that the beat and the melody are really clear.  We got really good at listening for Mr. O'Reilly to call "Lights, Camera, Action!". Those words meant we were ready to record.



 When we were finished recording we had gym outside.

Tomorrow is Fresh Air Friday. We will be working with Randy Bottle, our friend and Blackfoot Elder for part of the morning and we will be spending time in the Whispering Woods. Please dress for the weather (waterproof clothing recommended for the slush!). 

Our helper on Monday is: Joachim
