Tomorrow is Pink Shirt Day!!

Tomorrow we will be celebrating Pink Shirt Day at Ramsay School! Students are invited to wear a pink shirt if they wish. The 2020 focus is "Lift Each Other Up," which we will explore together tomorrow. I have attached the link below that describes this year's vision.

My Mouth is a Volcano

Today is class, we read this book together and discussed the importance of listening carefully and waiting for an appropriate time to share thoughts or ideas in a group setting. Students then created a volcano in their visual journal. Inside the volcano were 5 strategies that could support students to wait patiently for their turn to talk, while the lava represented the reasons that would be appropriate to interrupt a conversation. Below you will see a few examples. We all have such amazing things to share and making sure everyone is heard and feels respected is our ultimate goal.

Backgrounds

Students have spent a lot of time this week preparing their backgrounds and assets for their animations. We are now ready to start animating on Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning! 

Planning our Animation

Today we worked on planning our stories for our animation residency. Below you will see the list of criteria that each animation must contain.

We used storyboards to plan our stories.

Koala Art Project

Today, we worked on this koala craft, that we will be sending along with our bat wraps and donations to Australia. Each card has been made by a student to thank the firefighters for all their hard work and efforts during this difficult time. Thank you grade 3/4 for your work today!
