What an amazing day we had at the Laity Pumpkin Patch.  The sun was shining and the farm was full of Autumn colours.  The link below will give you a snapshot of our field trip experience. Thank you Am, Christina and Camilla!

Prior to our pumpkin patch visit, we learned about the size of pumpkins, the colour of pumpkins and the number of seeds a pumpkin can have.  It turns out that the amount of seeds is based on the amount of time a pumpkin has been given to grow in the field.  It is not based on size.  The more months on the patch, the more lines on the pumpkin and the darker it can become.  The lines on the pumpkin indicate the lines of seeds inside.  The darker the pumpkin, the longer it has been on the vine.

Division 10 made some pumpkin art of their own titled, Pastel and Pen Pumpkins.  They created their own Pumpkin Patch with Pumpkin Possibilities!

In class, students have been working on Reading Stamina.  They are up to 10 minutes of independent reading.

They have also been experimenting with Sink and Float and have concluded that most items in nature, during the season of Autumn, float rather than sink.  This is just another story shared during our inquiry: What stories do the seasons share with us?

  Just a reminder about Library Tuesday – please bring books back and use Book Bags!

We look forward to the upcoming weeks with opportunities to meet with our Buddy Class and enjoy some Spooktacular moments on Halloween Monday!

Info about October 31 will be sent out shortly!
