My Trip to Canada

By Erika

Native Canadian Art

We have been learning about Canada and the last week we have been looking at one of Andrea's favourite artists, Andy Everson. She met him when she went to Comox (in Canada) 3 years ago. He is a dancer and an artist and works hard to keep his culture alive.

We really like how he mixes his traditional art with modern items in society as well.

We made a movie of our Kid Pix art. WALT try to draw an accurate rendition of one of Andy's work and also choose the correct tools for the desired effect.

Enjoy!

Rapports de livres canadiens

Just in case you don't read or understand French, the tittle above says, Canadian Book Reports.

French is the other official language of Canada and students at school learn to speak and read French from their first day of school! 

N'est-ce pas merveilleux? (Isn't that wonderful?) 

Enjoy the latest book reports.

Our Totem Poles

We are finished our first attempt at drawing totem poles. We hope you like them.

First we looked at pictures of totem poles in a park in Vancouver called, Stanley Park. Then we watched a video on how to draw totem poles. After that we drew our own following the instructions. We did this in our drawing books.

Then we drew them on an A4 paper. Andrea then photocopied them and enlarged them onto A3.

We chose bright colours as the totem poles we saw in Stanely Park in Vancouver were brightly painted.

Now we are creating our own personal totems.

Totem Poles

Today we learned all about Totem Poles found in Canada. We looked at some examples of totem poles all around Canada and we loved the ones found in British Columbia, which is on the West Coast of Canada.

We noticed that totem poles almost always have animals and people on them.

We watched a video on how to draw one and then did our own, step by step. We had to really concentrate in order to know where to put what.

We will post some pictures of our totem poles tomorrow once they are finished.

Canada

Canada is a cool place. It has bears and the best maple syrup.  It is also a beautiful place and I recommend going. It snows there too. Canada is a very cool place and you are lucky to live there. I love Canada and hope you do too.

Happy Canada Day - GLS Live Week 9

In honour of Canada Day, and because Andrea, our teacher, is Canadian, we focussed our news items on learning some facts about Canada.

We all reckon Andrea should make us Beaver Tails for morning tea next week too ! Yum yum !

Andrea also added some photos her brother had sent her of Vancouver.

Enjoy the show ! Make sure you leave us comments !
