Prince Rupert Museum overlook of the ocean- so many childhood memories here. Coming here as a kid for a variety of tours. It is interesting how you’re taken back to memories with the smell, the architecture.
For one of my linked SS lessons of local Indigenous history, I had a Indigenous community leader come in to talk about and make Indigenous bread with the students a type of Bannock called Lyoon. Students did a great job molding the dough and shaping it the way the teacher explained it.
This literacy activity consisted of students working in pairs and taking turns to give directions to their partners. They were to draw things such as a butterfly, robot, boat, dog, castle.
We went on a lot of walks! to the park, to the performing arts centre, to the waterfront and around town! I even gave a prompt to the kids one day- notice if you see any letters or numbers in nature (trees, buildings). There was a lot of stimulating conversation happening!
Students really enjoyed the marble run ADST STEM activity. They worked in pairs and came up with a design to test out if the marble would run through. Students made changes as things were not working. It was amazing to see students applying their skills to design, test and re-design.
Another example of a marble run- students got creative with the supplies!
Students really enjoyed the Trolley ride around town. Our tour guide, Mr. Hope was so fun, engaging and provided a lot of great history about Prince Rupert. The students did a great job showing respect and listening while Mr. Hope was talking.
Students starting to design their totem poles as they mold the clay together. Students are using the sketches they made to design their pole.
All the recycling collected for this egg drop designing activity! Lots of variety for the students, some even brought in material of their own.
A egg drop safety net design with a Slurpee cup and plastic bag.
Students enjoyed the outside drawing activity. After we walked around town admiring the building murals, students designed their own painting.
Students really enjoyed this egg drop when the firefighters came in and they dropped each of the student designed egg safety nets.
social studies clay carving of totem poles- Students first sketched out their pole designs and then carved their designs using carving tools. Students were very engaged in this activity.
