Dress like your Favourite Character Day

Something special and magical will happen at Cambrian Heights School on Wednesday March 20th. Characters of all types (movies, books, video games, etc.) will unite, as students transform into their favourite character for the day. We are excited to meet performers, adventurists, wizards, humanitarians, animals, investigators, scientists, savers of the world, and more! Students have a choice to dress in full costume or bring a prop. Please ensure your child does not bring weapon accessories, and that their costume is comfortable for learning. We are all looking forward to this fantastical day!

What: Be Your Favourite Character Day

When: Wednesday March 20^th 2019

Juicy Descriptions!

 Using Juicy Descriptions in our Story Writing

For the last couple of weeks, students in The Class have been exploring Narrative Writing. 

As part of this unit, students have been learning about specific "juicy describing words," similies, and "showing not telling." Students applied this knowledge when describing a "Wild Thing" from their imagination. While composing their ideas, students had to keep their writing a secret! Once finished students were paired up and sat across from one another with a privacy shield between them. Based on JUST their partner's written description, students had to draw their partners "Wild Thing." We decided that if their description was specific and juicy enough, then their pictures would be similar.
 How do you think they did?
