Lots of fun at the Ottawa Humane Society today! We learned about animal safety and what the Ottawa Humane Society is all about. We got to visit with the cats in their lounge and we also met a few more animals up close! We toured the facility and got to see where animals are groomed and where the vets help to keep animals healthy. Lots of information and lots of French!

We had a lovely time watching the play OGO at Vox theatre a few weeks ago. Something special that we'll hope to do each year! The play was incredibly well done and tout en français!
We had a great nature walk this past Friday! The weather was not the best but the rain the day before made for a very fun adventure in the mud! We learned some great things from the volunteer guides and also just enjoyed the walk in the forest. Click here for the full album on our school's Facebook page!
We had a lovely day at the Agriculture Museum yesterday. Our workshop was a great mix listening and participating and we certainly learned a lot, adults included ;) The museum was full of fun attractions and animals, we explored the grounds after a nice picnic lunch.
Our first week back to school was busy and full of fun activities. During our trip to the Ottawa Art Gallery, we were taken on a tour of a few of their exhibits and afterwards, we worked on our own art activity. We learned about the Group of Seven and their landscape art and also analysed a few pieces that were more modern in their representation of landscapes. We looked at some abstract art and our tour guide, Chole, pointed out how the painting techniques used in different styles of paintings varied; big strokes, little strokes, splats! We found out that some artists express themselves in their self portraits in a variety of ways and also learned about mixed media. We took a very close look at a painting by Howie Tsui that represented a scary story he was told by his grandmother when he was little.
After our tour, we had the task of creating an art piece using collage and pencil crayons. Our inspiration was the piece by Howie Tsui! Once we were all done, we shared the story of our artwork with the whole group. Lots of great and creative stories! |
