This autumn collage focuses on squares and rectangles to give a tree a pixelated like appearance.
Students select a magazine image with a good range of cool and warm colours, then recreate the image with torn papers or fabric scraps.
In this activity, students tear pieces of magazines up to create an earth collage.
Follow the instructions here to create a collage landscape.
In this activity, students use various leaves and crayons to create a textured collage. This activity is a wonderful opportunity to explore colour, line, and texture, not to mention the bonus fun of going out and collecting leaves!
In this fun activity, students paint paper "swatches" then cut them out into geometric shapes, creating their own version of Paul Klee's famous creation, Castle and Sun.
Check out this resource for a number of more sophisticated collage prompts.
Students use tissue paper cut into different shapes to create stained glass art.

The plan for our school this year was to incorporate critical thinking and collaboration into creating an atmosphere where our students were more aware of their health and to be more physically active. We provided them with information and encouraged them to think critically and deeper as to why their health and physical fitness are so very important.
Students collaboratively worked in teams to make up their own games or to play games designated by the teacher.
We also incorporated daily Brain Gym activities into their fitness regime. We felt these exercises beneficial for students to do at the beginning of each day. These exercises integrate the brain and body and enhance learning ability and academic performance.
We also set up a fitness circuit. Students were tested three times during the year and were encouraged to improve their previous testing time
The following .PPT was used with Sun West Colony educator leaders to introduce and look deeper at Collective Responsibility.
Using different writing/drawing materials (e.g., markers, color pencils, pastels, etc.), students learn how to communicate different moods and/or feelings to support their written ideas and how authors do the same through their work.

Colours have the power to make us think and feel different emotions. This assignment allows students to dive into the psychology of colours.
Science Background:
When a metal or metal salt is burned, the input of thermal energy raises the electrons in the metal atom to a higher energy state. These electrons cannot remain in this excited state for too long and will emit energy in the form of light to return to the more stable, grounded state. It is this light we see when a metal atom is burned in a flame. Each metal has a characteristic flame colour which has been found to be useful in identifying minerals.
Materials: wood splints, Bunsen burner or BBQ lighter, solutions of strontium chloride (red), cupper (II) chloride (blue), copper (II) sulphate (green), calcium chloride (orange), potassium chloride (purple), and sodium carbonate (yellow).
The importance of family is prominent throughout the works, The vibrant colours represents the joy of life, it is meant to inspire hope, success, and happiness. These paintings are a tribute to my late mother who was my guide throughout my life, my late Grandmother for her strength in cultural beliefs and traditions, and my children for the inspiration they give me, Meegwetch.

Over the last four episodes, we’ve examined some of the stories that make up the idea of a “revolution” in knowledge-making in Europe. But we can’t understand this idea fully, without unpacking another one—the so called Age of Exploration. This encompasses a lot of events that happened from 1400 through the 1600s and were driven in part by new ideas about knowledge-making.
