This week has been an enriching journey for the Grade 5/6 students as they inquired into the vital role of energy in supporting human progress. Our classroom was filled with curiosity and creativity as the students finalized a project that connected history, science, and the arts.
Throughout the week, the students prepared for our class assembly, which brought together the entire school community, including all classes and their parents. The highlight of the assembly was a shadow play created by the students themselves, illustrating the timeline of energy and how it has shaped human progress through the ages.
The project began with each student researching a different era in history, focusing on how energy sources evolved and impacted society during that time. From harnessing fire to the industrial revolution and beyond, they gathered fascinating facts and insights. Then, they used their research to craft a scene that highlights the key moments and innovations in their energy era.
To bring their stories to life, the students designed and created props for the shadow play, carefully thinking about how to visually represent each historical period. This hands-on process not only deepened their understanding but also allowed them to express their learning through art and storytelling.
Finally, all the pieces came together for the assembly last Thursday. The students confidently shared their shadow play with the entire school and their families, illuminating the journey of energy through history and its profound impact on human progress. It was inspiring to see their hard work, collaboration, and passion shine through this unique presentation.
I am incredibly proud of the Grade 5/6 students for their dedication, creativity, and the way they connected history, science, and the arts to tell such an important story. It was a memorable week full of learning, growth, and community spirit.
Have a wonderful weekend to all of you.
Your homeroom teacher,
Ms. Pam
