T.I.A. Haunted Houses

By: Alex M.

Earlier this month in The Integrated Arts (T.I.A) we made haunted houses out of clay for Halloween, with artist, Lynne Mulvihill. We started by making our clay into a shape that looked like a house, then we added scraps of clay for porches, window frames and more. Next we let them dry for a couple of days. Today we went back to paint our houses with colour glazes like orange, black, grey, white and other spooky colours. We went through a lot of paint brushes! Lynne is going to fire our painted haunted houses in the kiln, and return them to us next week.

Our class really had fun doing this project!

About Room 10's Social Studies

By Diana S.

In Social Studies we are learning how the first people discovered North America. We learned about the tools they used and how they survived. We are also learning about the rivers of Canada. We had to figure out clues to find where the rivers are in Canada. The rivers and riddles included: Assiniboine River, Saskatchewan River, Ottawa River, Churchill (Labrador) River, Red River, Peace River, St. John River, Mackenzie River, Churchill (Manitoba) River,St. Lawrence River, Columbia River, Saguenay River,Nelson River, St. Croix River, Thompson River, and Fraser River.

Next we are going to learn about the different Aboriginal groups and where they settled in Canada.
