Month: October 2025

Div. 20 had a terrific start to Halloween despite the rainy day weather!

We started our morning off with our Big Buddies creating Halloween candy corn creatures! 

Next, we headed down to the gym to show off our costumes and dance moves during the Primary Halloween Parade. Click on the witch below to see some of us dance!

In the afternoon, we played a variety of Halloween games together: Pumpkin Bowling, Ghost Races, and Hot “Pumpkin” Pass, along with a few other activities. Ask your child which one they enjoyed the most!

Happy Halloween to everyone! Be extra safe and warm this weekend!

As Scientists today, we made FINGER JELLO for some hands-on science fun!

We gathered our materials and observed and recorded THREE states of matter during the steps in our procedure. We showed a lot of patience while we waited for each layer to solidify in the freezer.

And the best part… we got to eat a yummy (and colourful) SOLID treat!

 

Scientist Mina from SCWIST came in to do a science workshop with us.

She talked about the three states of matter and the different types of chemical and physical changes that can occur in many items we are familiar with. We learned that atoms are tiny particles. We also learned that there is a 4th state of matter… plasma!

We were excited to engage in a messy, hands-on activity that tested the question:

“Can something be both a solid and a liquid at the same time?” YES!

We learned about Non-Newtonian fluids … and we made one today called Oobleck! (This fluid can behave like both a liquid and a solid depending on how much pressure is applied).

Check out Div. 20 scientists in action!

 

We were so excited to meet our Big Buddies today from Mr. Jung’s Gr. 6/7 class!

We asked a few questions to get to know one another and then chose an activity to do together.

We cannot wait to see them next week for a collaborative activity!
