Ms. Watt's Class

 ~ LOLLIPOPS!
We celebrated the end of the week with a sweet treat!

Looking forward to celebrating with a  ovie on Monday!

 ~ KERNELS of popcorn!
We popped some popcorn in an old fashioned hot air popcorn popper, the one that Miss Watt used as a Grade 3 student herself! It was so cool to see it close up instead of waiting outside a microwave!
We then invited Mrs Roberts to join us in watching two heart warming short films called In a Heartbeat and Out, both celebrating diversity and love.

Looking forward to celebrating with ollipops tomorrow!

~ JUMPY Poppin Rockets! Science with baking soda & vinegar!
We created a chemical reaction in a film canister! The vinegar reacts with the baking soda and produces carbon dioxide gas. Pressure builds up until the small canister can no longer contain the gas. The lid pops off, the canister shoots up into the air, the gas escapes, and the pressure is released.

Looking forward to celebrating with ernels tomorrow!

~ We took the opportunity today to shade ourselves from the sun, break school rules and wear our favourite HATS all day long!
~ ICKY messy fun with Oobleck! Science with cornstarch and 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.

~ Jelly Beans, Sours, Jellies, Ju Jubes… Count the Candies!!
We spent the morning using referents and 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 today. Drumroll please………
Satvik, Aiyla, Chloe and Malachi!
Well done to all Division 8 students for all your excellent estimates! Can’t wait to enjoy the candies at another Alphabet Countdown day very soon…
