In Science we learned about landforms and bodies of water. We showed our learning by using plasticine to create 3 landforms and 2 bodies of water. Volcanos were by far the most popular!
Here are some pictures of what some class members made.

Another ADST challenge today. After learning about force, motion, and friction a marble run was a great way to wrap up this topic in science. Students had to create a plan, work on building it and make sure the force of gravity was working to get the marble down. Thank you for your cardboard and paper roll contributions, they were much needed! Here are some highlights from today of final products and during building.

This week we used marbles to investigate different kinds of surfaces and how friction affects the speed of how the marble would go. Here are some photos of us during the process.

Today we had an assembly for Remembrance Day. Here are some pictures of our class working on poppy art and on Flanders Fields.

Today we had a visit from the Alpha leadership students and they created some ADST (Applied Design Skills & Technology) challenges for our class. Through ADST activities students have to think about what they are planning to build, work with others, and come up with solutions to solve problems that may happen while building. The leadership students brought toothpicks and marshmallows and had several tasks for our class to create in partners and then in small groups. It was a lot of fun!

Here are some highlights from Halloween activities at school from yesterday and today!

Thank you for joining us today for family reading 🙂 So nice to have our classroom full of people and I will schedule it about once a Month. Here are some pictures from today.

Our class really loved learning the card game garbage! All you need is a deck of cards. Ask your child to teach you or check out the video under our math tab. As we learn new games I will post the links here on the blog.

Here is a peek into our daily 5 stations. Our stations are word work, read to self or listen to reading, and free choice writing. We will be adding a station called read with the teacher soon, once everyone can independently do the other stations. Check out our students working on some of these stations.

We hd fun creating pumpkins at night yesterday. We worked on creating the pumpkins and using oil and chalk pastels. We learned about lighting and blending colours. Here are some photos of students working on them and completed art pieces.
