1. Eddie Eagle & the Estuary Gr. K-7 Discover the story of the eagles at Goldstream.  Through story, meet Eddie the Eagle and discover how a very important ecosystem has changed. With their identifiable features your students will be sure to classify these amazing birds and understand how their behaviours and adaptations help them survive.

Eddie the Eagle in the Estuary Gr. K-7

Kindergarten

LS's: Science- Describe basic needs and adaptations of local and animals. Living things make changes to accommodate daily and seasonal changes. Social Studies- Will know people, places and events in the local community and know rights, roles and responsibilities of individuals and groups. Physical Education– Demonstrate caring behavior in groups and how to participate in different types of physical activities. Demonstrate proper technique for performing specific locomotor movement - Identify safety; follow rules and directions when participating in activities. English Language Arts– Demonstrate oral language and metacognitive strategies by asking questions as an aid to understand while listening, or viewing. Demonstrate abilities to follow simple oral instructions.- Interact with others, speak in turn and listen actively, providing verbal and non-verbal responses appropriate to their stages of development and to their cultures.

Physical Education– Move through defined space while maintaining control (walking blind-folded).-Change level of body position while maintaining control. English Language Arts– Demonstrate reading strategies, oral language and metacognitive strategies by asking questions as an aid to understand while listening, or viewing. Demonstrate abilities to follow simple oral instructions.-Interact with others, speak in turn and listen actively, providing verbal and non-verbal responses appropriate to their stages of development and to their cultures. 

Grade 3

LS’s: -Science– Understand that living things are diverse, can be grouped and interact with their ecosystems.  Examine the biodiversity I the local environment. Social Studies - Understand the relationships between humans and their environments. Physical Education– Move through defined space while maintaining control (walking blind-folded). Change level of body position while maintaining control. English Language Arts– Demonstrate reading strategies, oral language and metacognitive strategies by asking questions as an aid to understand while listening, or viewing. Demonstrate abilities to follow simple oral instructions.-Interact with others, speak in turn and listen actively, providing verbal and non-verbal responses appropriate to their stages of development and to their cultures.

Question what they hear and read to further enhance their understanding. 

Grade 6

LS’s: Science– Analyze how multicellular organisms rely on their internal systems that enable them to survive, reproduce and interact with their environment. Physical Education– Identify opportunities for activity in a variety of settings. Demonstrate an ability to participate safely in specific activities. Demonstrate leadership in selected activity. English Language Arts– Demonstrate reading strategies, oral language and metacognitive strategies by asking questions as an aid to understand while listening, or viewing. Use questioning, predicting, summarizing, and inferring to accomplish specific purposes for viewing and listening. Use information they have heard or viewed to develop questions and activities that will extend their understanding. Locate and interpret details to answer specific questions or complete tasks. Demonstrate a willingness to assume a variety of roles in group interactions.
