Look At Us Learning!
Jack's thought of what M.Hibou and Coconut's house would look like.
After the last big snowfall, we were so eager to play in the snow that we brought it inside! We took coloured water and painted and mixed it in the snow, creating a variety of secondary (and even tertiary) colours!
In math, we have been investigating the concept of area. One of the wonderings a student gave was "How many students would it take to cover this carpet?" The answer? 24!
When Logan saw the cage that Butterscotch had created, he decided to create one of his own! Logan examined the sphere and recreated it very successfully. Great job, Logan!
Ms. Heather has been coming to teach us music every Friday. We learned about beat and tempo, as well as fancy Italian words for loud and quiet (forte, piano, fortissimo, pianissimo).
Some of the boys decided to build a "Chinese Dragon," which sparked a conversation on symmetry. Check out the detail and symmetry of their work! Amazing!
When the handle broke off of our oven, Zachary came up with a great solution using pipecleaners!
Ainsley and her dolly in matching pajamas.
A box, tape, scissors and imaginations! They turned a cardboard box into a car that they drove around the classroom :)
After James showed us his cool Angry Birds he made at home with plastercine, the children went to work creating their own! They even made Pigs to knock down!
Greycin showing how the catapult works to launch the angry bird.
Working hard!
Creating masterpieces using materials in the scrap bin.
Our 3 new students. Welcome Kiwi, Hailey and Bob!
We have been learning about patterning, so on Friday, October 3rd, we had a pattern party. We found patterns throughout our classroom. We made patterns with everything we could find. We decorated with patterned chains. Finally, we each made patterned necklaces to take home to show our families that we are pattern experts!
The SK's graphed the contents of our recycling bin. They created a column for plastic, paper, drink cups and yogurt containers.
