R ~ We spent some time during Friday’s beautiful, sunny morning out on Nelson’s front lawn. After finding the perfect spot to REST & RELAX, we READ books in the sunshine with our friends.

O ~ We wore Mrs. James’ favourite colour – ORANGE!
P ~ We worked together on PUZZLES in the afternoon!

N ~ We wrote NOTES to next year’s class, giving them the low down on what it means to be in Mrs. James’ class. Mrs. James will be sharing them all with her new students when she returns from maternity leave in September 2017!…or maybe just the ones that were kind… 😉

K ~ KERNELS of popcorn
We popped some popcorn in a couple old fashioned hot air popcorn poppers, including the one that Miss Watt used as a Grade 3 student! It was so cool to see it close up instead of waiting outside a microwave!


M ~ Then we enjoyed our popcorn while watching & laughing out loud at the MOVIE Minions! Thanks for sharing Sean!

J ~ 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.

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.

H ~ We took the opportunity today to shade ourselves from the sun, break school rules & wear our favourite HATS all day long!

F ~ We took advantage of the crazy hot weather & headed outside today for some FREE TIME  & cooled down with some refreshing FREEZIES! We enjoyed strawberry, pineapple, green apple & orange!
