Students are continuing to explore more karate movements and language. Today we learned some punches and blocks, as well as kicks. Karate is a great sport to develop balance and strength. Practicing these skills is something many children may not have previously experienced. Next week at our celebration of learning, students will share some of their knowledge!
We're starting our exploration into Canada's dynamic communities. We are starting by learning about an arctic community. Today we compared the landscape of the arctic to that of Alberta. We noticed the lack of trees and abundance of snow in the arctic compared to where we live. We also looked at average temperatures of Iqaluit vs. Calgary. Although, we feel like we have harsh temperatures here in Calgary, we learned it's much warmer (on average) than in Iqaluit. Students worked with partners to compare the two climates and then created a picture of themselves, dressed in the appropriate clothing for an arctic adventure.
