Students have been working on creating their own individual podcast episode on a specific topic in Canadian History that we have covered. This last week, students were focused on researching their topic in order to integrate facts into their final piece. The topics being covered really vary: Jackie Robinson playing baseball in Montreal, the Famous Five, explorer John Rae, the list goes on!

Students are starting to get excited for the upcoming My World Conference on February 23. This is the 9th annual conference and is comprised of three Keynote Speakers and a breakout session. The three keynote speakers include Calgary Zoo celebrity Brian Keating, renowned presenter Alvin Law, as well as producer and actor Cowboy Smith X.
Just a reminder that students need to be at the school at 7:00 am and will be leaving at 3:45 pm. The cost is $40.00 per student. This covers the cost of transportation, lunch, and other costs associated with the conference. As always, feel free to contact Mr. Burima if you have any questions! What a week! We are settling into our new space nicely. The halls, though still beautiful and fresh, are feeling a bit more like home thanks to a few scuff marks and smiling faces.
We have been exploring the ideas of saying goodbye and hello to spaces. To help in our exploration, last week we had students record the "sounds" of our Elbow Park portables. What sounds were unique to the school and made it feel like home? How do sounds make a space feel like home? Using recorders, students explored the school and taped sounds. We edited the sounds together into a nice little audio piece that can be heard below. The project also helped "prime the pumps" for our upcoming podcasting project. Enjoy! |
