Art at TWPS


We thought we'd share some samples of work by the talented students of TWPS!

Gr. 6 students learned about colour - tone, tint, shade and how these elements of design are created. In this summative assignment, they experimented by choosing one colour to show in various tones, tints and shades. 



Gr. 3 students learned about line, shape and colour and how to create a variety of landscapes and pop art images. 





Mrs. Bader's group created some beautiful watercolours during our first Wellness Wednesday session!

We have some budding young artists at Thornhill Woods P.S!

TWPS happenings!


All our students engaged in the worldwide Hour of Code event!




                                               




Grade 7 students visited  Gr. 3 students to share the learning about the fur trade. Gr. 3's have been learning about Pioneers in Canada so it was a great opportunity for the two grade to connect their learning.  





Our food and toy donations are amazing and growing by the day.  Two very large bags of toys were gratefully accepted by the firefighters at the firehall on Dufferin (behind Canadian Tire).  The Chai Lifeline box is full too and the hallway outside the library is overflowing with non-perishable food items.  Thank you so much TWPS families for your generous donations! Mrs. Cohen and Ms. Vanderzon and our entire staff are so proud of our students.
                                                                      



GR. 3 SCIENCE
Students in Gr. 3 have been having fun while learning in Science class. 
During the Plant and Soil unit each student conducted an experiment to grow a bean seed into a plant without soil or sunlight. This process is called Germination. See below for a picture of the experiment. 

Here is the procedure used to create the bean seeds as well as a detailed description.

MOvember Celebration!


Yesterfday we celebrated the end of MOvember.  Our  male teachers have been growing their mustaches for the month and they have been working hard at raising money to treat various cancers.  Their dedication inspired our students to raise just over $1000.00!  

During the celebration assembly, classes that had raised the most money participated in painting the mustache of their choice with vibrant coloured paint.

Everyone had a great deal of fun and we are proud and happy to have contributed to such a worthy cause!
