Mr. Skanes' Class -
Room 217
The greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.
In Room 217 we expect to act Respectfully, Responsibly and Independently.
We must be our own monitors. A good yardstick against which to measure our behaviour is this: Would we be proud to admit how we acted later or do we hope that no one finds out?
If we live up to these ideals, nothing can stop us.
This page has pictures of things we have done throughout the year.
Art art activity to practice perceiving different areas of a piece of art.
Art art activity creating art using one colour.
Art art activity to try to mimic one of two artists from the Group of Seven - Frederick Varley and Arthur Lismer.
In order to examine the composition of the rocks that we collected, we first had to break them open to reveal the insides.
The class learned about erosion by conducting several experiments.
The first research project of the year was on rocks and minerals. The students had to choose a rock or a mineral and then research in certain areas.
