I ~ ICKY messy fun with Oobleck! Science with cornstarch & water!
Oobleck is a non-newtonian fluid. That is, it acts like a liquid when being poured, but like a solid when a force is acting on it. You can grab it and then it will ooze out of your hands.
Oobleck gets its name from the Dr. Seuss book Bartholomew and the Oobleck where a gooey green substance, Oobleck, fell from the sky and wreaked havoc in the kingdom.

F ~ It was one HOT day in Burnaby!! What else do you do, but head outside for some FREE TIME in the sun & cool down with some refreshing FREEZIES! We enjoyed blue raspberry, cherry, grape & everyone’s favourite, cream soda!

E ~ Jujubes, M&Ms, Jelly Beans, Sours… Count the Candies!!
We spent the morning using referents & good ‘ol fashioned thoughtful guesses to ESTIMATE how many candies were in the jars.

After all the Guessing Jar estimates had been counted, the winners were announced the next morning. Drumroll please………

Angie, Jagjot, Kihan & Owen had the closest estimates!
Well done to all Division 8 students for their excellent estimates! Can’t wait to enjoy the candies at another Alphabet Countdown day very soon…

D ~ DINOSAUR books, drawing books, matching games, pattern blocks, posters, toys & more! We spent the day learning lots about dinosaurs, watching a movie in the morning & then doing different dino activities in the afternoon.

C ~ pink, orange, blue, green, white…sidewalk CHALK!
