Rosedale School News
School resumes Thursday, September 1stNew student tour (Grades 6 - 9) on August 31st 2 - 2:30
Rosedale students worked together with Tsu'Tina Elder Bruce Starlight and artists Chantal Changnon and Trian Knight this month, learning more about Calgary's rich Indigenous Heritage. Students in Grades 7-9 read through all of the 94 Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls To Action, and chose 5 Calls of Action our school will focus on in the Fall (Numbers 62, 63, 65, 86 and 92) . Our Jr. High students re-wrote the 5 Calls to Action in 'child friendly' language to share with our Elementary students and we will work together to find ways to honour the Calls chosen by our students.
A Peek Inside
Calgary's Theater performance company The Green Fools had a fantastic time with students at Rosedale during PE lessons. Students enjoyed our first all school assembly, and parents were thrilled to see their children on the tight rope, stilts, barrels, juggling and other circus skills which worked on core strength, catching and throwing and hand eye coordination. Sports Day was held in our field on June 27th and students enjoyed events on the field run by parent volunteers.
Our Grade 8 students created an Escape room, culminating the year end tasks for their Unit study on Japan. Grades 4, 5, 6 and 7 enjoyed making their way out using clues, solving puzzles and word problems. Students in Jr. High had an opportunity to dissect a sheep's eye (learning about the inner workings of the eye), designed and constructed functioning water filters from homemade materials and explored the SAIT campus to find and solve issues impacting access (how to create wheel chair accessible entrances). Grade 4 students met a staff member from the Calgary Flames and played games learning more about the science of hockey. Inspired by traditional Inuit art, students in Grade 2 learned how to carve soapstone.
