This week, we learned about the life cycle of a pumpkin. We all chose a pumpkin of our own at our school’s pumpkin patch and did a pumpkin investigation by measuring it with cubes, counting the lines, and observing the different features of them. We opened a pumpkin up and counted all of the seeds inside. We counted 399 seeds as a class! Ms. Kwok also did a pumpkin sink or float experiment with our class. We made predictions on what we thought would happen when a pumpkin is put in water and… it FLOATS!

Last week, we learned about squirrels and acorns. At the end of the week, we went on a squirrel search to see if we could find any in our school’s forest. We ended up finding one squirrel and tons of acorns!

We have been learning with our hands to work with our manipulatives (dominoes, snap cubes) to help us understand numbers better!

We have been spending the past week learning about apples and their different parts. Some other fun activities we did with apples were apple stamping and having an apple taste test! Our class favourite apple was the red gala!
