Thursday, January 9, 2020

We have been working on developing Nature Journaling skills and have been inspired by the works of Robert Bateman. Yesterday we read a book called Robert Bateman The Boy Who Painted Nature, and today we did an art critique of one of his paintings. Some of the things we noticed were:

  • Use of realistic measurements (Zaeem)
  • Looks like it is coming out of a cave (Stone)
  • Animal outside in the snow (Bria)
  • Closed eyes, sleeping(Evelyn)
  • Circley snow icicles(Rana)
  • Short claws (Drew)
  • Ears are big, maybe it can hear well(Avery)
  • Winter-snow and icicles(Evelyn)
  • Forest-lots of snow and trees(Naomi)

In Science, we have started learning about hot and cold temperatures and we watched a video today. We learned that heat can go through walls and you need to take action to stop it (Drayden) and Avery shared that, I didn't know that heat comes off of things like a bus. 

Mrs. Cose's class worked on developing their sketching skills by doing some sketching warm-ups and timed sketches. We did a 10-second, 30-second, 1-minute, and 5-minute sketches.

REMINDERS:
- Tomorrow is PJ Day!!
- Fun Lunch next Thursday (Cose's class can order, Seymour's class need to cancel your orders as you will be at RKP) 
- Volunteers needed for Mrs. Seymour's class on Wednesday and Thursday next week
