This week, our classroom transformed into a prehistoric landscape as students worked together to create a collaborative dinosaur world out of clay!
As part of our Creativity in the Classroom initiative, students explored teamwork, imagination, and hands-on artistic skills. They designed their own dinosaurs, sculpted miniature habitats, and combined their creations into one large, colourful display.
As part of Science Week, 3rd Class explored a big question: Where does wind come from?
We learned that wind is moving air. The Sun heats the Earth unevenly, which means some places become warmer than others.
- Warm air rises
- Cool air moves in to take its place
This movement of air is what we feel as wind!
To see wind in action, we made our own paper windmills- showing how air moves.
Everyone had great fun creating, testing, and learning. Our windmills were colourful, creative, and a perfect way to feel science happening!

This week in Creativity in the Classroom with Deirdre, students explored the world of 3D art and imagination! Using clay, we learned how to shape and combine basic 3-dimensional forms-like spheres, cylinders, and cubes to bring our ideas to life.
By the end of the session, our classroom was full of colourful, clay animals of all kinds, each one unique and full of personality. From elephants and giraffes to imaginary creatures and dinosaurs , everyone showed amazing creativity and teamwork.
It was a fantastic start to our creativity journey, and we can’t wait to see what we’ll make next!
