Fix a Leak Week!

We have recently learned that there are many reasons why we should conserve water. Water is important to the survival of plants, animals and humans, and we need be sure we are doing everything to conserve water.   Here is a list of ideas to help you get started!

Room 4's Top 10 List of Ways Kids Can Help Conserve Water!

1) Instead of taking baths, take showers instead.  Baths use more water, which in turn, is wasted.
2) When you finish a drink that has ice, instead of throwing the cubes down the drain, use them to water a plant!
3) Ensure you turn the sink off completely.   A few drops wasted really add up over time.
4) Don't use the toilet as a garbage can.  If you use a tissue, for either your nose, or to kill a bug, throw the used tissue in the trash can instead.
5) Use reusable water bottles whenever possible instead of bottled water.  Bottled water is expensive and because it takes energy to make and recycle the bottles, (or can end up in landfills) they are not environmentally friendly.
6) Don't hold the water fountain for other people.  It wastes water.
7) Use a barrel to save rain water and use it to water your plants.
8) When you are brushing your teeth, don't run the tap.
9) Drink all of the water in your water bottle. Don't dump it out and waste it.
10) Instead of running water and waiting for it to get cold, use ice cubes!


Below are some pictures from this year's Fix a Leak Week! We went to different areas of the school and measured the amount of water (if any) was leaking.

Here are this year's results:

We have prepared some informative posters and will be sharing our message with staff and students soon!  Remember to do your part and conserve water!!!

Read-a-palooza!

Here are some pictures from our wonderful fundraiser - Radisson's Read-a-palooza!  It was a great chance for students to learn and read, both together and independently, for a total of 120 minutes!  Students received pledges for every minute they read. 

Here are some pictures from the day :)

Students, what was your favourite part of the day?  Visitors, how do you raise money for your school?

Beautiful Beadwork

We were recently part of a wonderful workshop led by an incredibly talented artist, Becca Taylor.  She came for two hour-long sessions to teach us about beading.  This was important because we've been studying  The Fur Trade and The History of Manitoba.  Through our research, we've learned that beaded items were used to trade.  After spending time beading, we could quickly see why beaded items are so valuable.  They are not only beautiful to look at, but they take an incredible amount of time and patience to complete.  Here our some pictures of our two days with Becca.

Special thanks to Lisa Aymont Hunter and Becca's assistant, Bree, who assisted us as well!

All done!

Variety of colours!

Beautiful details!

We are very proud of our creations!

Here's some pictures of the steps we took to complete our beadwork.
