CELEBRATION OF SOUND KREATIONS PERFORMANCES
STUDENT LED LEARNING WALK 2018-19
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2018, 5:30 – 7:30 PM
 (SEE SCHEDULE BELOW)

FAMILIES OF ERIC HARVIE STUDENTS ARE INVITED TO ATTEND OUR FIRST STUDENT-LED LEARNING WALK OF THE 2017-18 SCHOOL YEAR  - ALSO A CELEBRATION OF OUR ARTIST-IN-RESIDENCE DANCE EXPERIENCE WITH SOUND KREATIONS JJ

Student-Led Learning Walks offer you and your child(ren) an opportunity to glimpse a snapshot of what “Physical Literacy ” looks like at every grade level across Eric Harvie School with your child’s celebration of the Sound Kreations dance residency presented as an artefact of physical literacy learning.

Building the learning tools and strategies in our students’ Learners’ Toolkits is the primary work of the school in language literacy, math literacy, science, social studies, physical literacy, place-based literacy, and both critical and creative thinking to support students in exploring, creating, investigating, questioning and designing inquiries, wonders and projects  grounded in curricular objectives.

We invite you to come with your child to celebrate our two-week, Parent Council-sponsored dance residency with Sound Kreations JJ and peruse our Documentation Boards from each Pod, showcasing how we integrate physical literacy into our daily learning across the curricula.

Please attend according to the schedule below – parents and students will enter through the front doors of the school starting 20 minutes before your scheduled performance. Students will go directly to the gym while parents are invited to check out our Documentation Boards in the Hub. Once the performances for each Pod are finished, families will exit through the gym doors onto the compound, thereby ensuring incoming families will have access to the Documentation Boards in the Hub as well.

Joy Pod

Today was day four of our Sound Kreations dance residency.  Students continue to learn their dance routines and have added some cool hip hop moves.  There are lots of "personality" in these dance moves and we can't wait for you to see and enjoy your child dancing on Thursday, October 18.  As well, students have been working to provide examples of how "Physical Literacy" lives in our Pod.  You will have an opportunity to enjoy pictures, writing and videos of how we are living physical literacy everyday through the lens of movement and play. 
 We hope to see you all on Thursday.

Another busy day in Joy Pod.  We had our Friday Ignite time.  This is a great time to get our brains ready for learning.

Today was the Kindness Pod's Peace Assembly.  They focused on their work in the coulee around growing seeds.





We also learned that we exceeded our goal of $4000.00 for Terry Fox.  The school actually raised over $5000.00

Joy Pod

Today was day three of our Sound Kreations dance residency.  Students have started learning their dance routines.  The great thing about hip hop is that it encourages individuality.  Students are given basic moves and then are able to personalize their dance.  
 
Each pod is divided into two separate groups.  Each group is doing their own dance.  
 
The EHS Physical Education blog has daily updates of what is happening in Phys. Ed. class.  These include dance updates.  Check it out.
 
 
Keep checking the Pod blogs for more information.

Sound Kreation

Today was day two of our Sound Kreations dance residency.  This seven class residency (October 9,10,11,15,16,17,18) will culminate with an evening performance and learning walk on October 18.  The performance times are: Kindergarten, 5:30; Kindness Pod, 6:00; Joy Pod, 6:30; Peace Pod, 7:00; and Hope Pod 7:30. 
Pods will also have other examples of evidence of learning for Physical Literacy during the evening. 
Keep checking the blogs for more information. 
Beat Street (K-12)
We’ve combined HipHop, Stomp and DubStep (Animation) dance styles to create an Urban dance experience that will have your whole school buzzing.
We explore the groove of HipHop, the sounds of Stomp and the electronic influences of Dub Step!
Students will learn to balance the flow of robotic dance moves with the powerful precision of steppin’, while also building upon foundational hip-hop styles.
We’ll look at the influences London, LA and West Africa have had on these modern dance styles and learn to integrate the original steps of dance with the new expressions we’ve all come to love!
This voyage of kinesthetic expression is highly interactive, entirely approachable, and fun, fun, FUN!

Terry Fox Run
We have wrapped up the collection of donations and pledge forms for our very successful Terry Fox Run.  We are in the final stages of counting all donations both online and that have been handed into the school.  We are very close to reaching our $4000.00 goal.  If you have not handed in your pledge forms and donation or would like to make a donation online you can do so using the following link:

We will have a final total by Friday, October 12 and the draw will be made for the Terry Fox T-Shirt from all pledge forms returned.
