The Grade 7s wrapped up their year with a culminating project that integrated Social Studies with Language Arts, Math, Science, and Art.

Working collaboratively in pairs, the girls created a civilization from the ground up. They chose an area in the world for their people to settle, investigated the natural features and resources, built a 3-D physical and resource map, wrote a myth and drew an image to represent it, created a flag, and designed a technology to solve a problem in their society. The maps and technologies were created with the help of Ms. Sharpe, our STEAM Coordinator.

The girls showed incredible creative and critical thinking skills, enthusiasm, collaboration, and commitment to complete this cross-curricular project! They proudly showed their work to students, teachers, and parents at an afternoon of sharing on June 21.

Our Grade 4 students demonstrated their learning about the history of Vancouver through their creative STEAM projects. This project incorporated two BC Curriculum learning standards: learning about the history of the local community and devices that transform energy.

First, the students were introduced to many historical events that occurred in Vancouver and then they chose several to study in depth. The students also made a watercolour painting of the event that piqued their interest the most. After gathering information and taking notes, the students also produced a written piece. Then, using wires, batteries, electrical tape, insulating tape, and light bulbs, the students made a question and answer game on their painting. This was an interactive way for students, faculty, and parents to learn more about Vancouver’s history.
