Thank you

I can't believe how fast this year has flown by. I'd like to wish my grade 4 students the very best and continued success next year. I'm also looking forward to another year with my grade 3 students who are not afraid of taking on new challenges. Thank you to all the parents for your support throughout the year(s). Have a great and safe summer!

Science Fair

For the past month students have been working very hard on their Science Fair projects and on Thursday June 26th they shared their hard work with fellow students of EMU, parents and grandparents.

Student Claymation Videos

After creating a class claymation earlier in April and May the students wanted to create their own. We decided that small groups of 4 - 5 students would work best. They first wrote their Pourquoi stories in French and spent a lot of time editing and reworking the story to fit their claymation. Once they completed their story they worked on their characters and background for their claymation. This was followed by the students taking multiple pictures with the camera and then loading them into Windows Movie Maker. Then the students recorded their story using Audacity and added sound effects. They then began editing, adding a title and credits as well as mixing in their audio recording.

This process is very difficult for most adults but the students did an amazing job. There were struggles with some groups having to restart because of  lost data however they never gave up and persevered. I'm extremely proud of them.

EMU Field Day

What a perfect day for field day. The class had a lot of fun playing a variety of activities as well as face painting and Freezies provided by the EMUPAC. Thank you to Mme Robichaud and the field day committee for a great day.

Green Screen

Thank you to the EMUPAC for purchasing a green screen studio for our school. This studio will come in very handy for projects this year and for years to come.

Grade 4 Field Day

It turned out to be a beautiful day for our grade 4 field day with École Centrale. Students got to meet their future peers when they move on to École Regent Park. Thanks to Mme Robichaud and M. Boulley for planning and organizing the day's activities. Also thank you to the grade 8 students that volunteered their time today.

Hi Neighbour

Earlier this past month our class received some exciting news. Every year we participate in the Hi Neighbour banner contest but this year was different. Our class had not one, not two winners but FIVE winners! This is even more impressive when you consider there are only 42 banners chosen from all Transcona schools. These banners are now on display around downtown Transcona. This weekend they will select the winners from each age category at the Hi Neighbour Festival. Good luck to Lance, Kami, Krissy, Cassie and Nate.
