LAST GRADE 3 and 4 SECRET CHALLENGE QUESTION: 

40 days of Lent is six full weeks (with six days of fasting... in each week) plus four extra days—Ash Wednesday and the Thursday, Friday, and Saturday that follow it because the Sundays are not counted. Six times six is thirty-six, plus four equals forty. And that's how we arrive at the 40 days of Lent!

THIS GRADE 3 and 4 SECRET CHALLENGE QUESTION: 

Name 5 types of art (eg impressionism)

AND OUR WEEKLY
SENTENCE STRETCHLETICS 
WINNERS ARE . . . 

(NO WINNERS DUE TO SNOW DAYS)

Our Class sampled works by the likes of  Louise Boureois who designed the spider outside the National Gallery, Van Gogh, Monet, Benjamin West. 

Perspective, primary and secondary colours, the Renaissance, shades and backgrounds, forms and shapes were discussed.

Our class has debates from time to time, called "Choose Sides", where students physically go to one side or the other according to their belief. This week we debated should children have the choice of how much TV or candy they have. One side was the most charismatic, but the other had the best supporting arguments and won!
