Only so many days left!

Hard at work!

This week has been a wonderful, busy and exciting week!

On Monday was had a Special Artist Visitor, Miss. McKenzie show us some tricks with paper to make pop up animal art! They students did amazing jobs! This tied in with our Building Things unit in creating 3D art. The students thought of an animal, then recreated the habitat you would find them in. Aren't they gorgeous!

 

They did so good!

Finished Products!

Tuesday we had our trip to the Devonian Gardens! The students were able to observe the different signs of summer and spring, as well as, learn about the needs of animals, spot animal homes, and discussion about animal food chains.

Made it to the center of the maze!

Walking around we really got to see a lot of amazing greenery and plants! The students had a blast running in the open for most of the day. Here are a few teaser photos. To view a full album of the trip click here.

Enjoying Nature & Lookin' Cool

In Math we are working with 2D shapes and making sorting rules. We made a list of attributes (what shapes look and feel like) so we could sort our shapes and create sorting rules. We use some shapes stickers and the students came up with their own sorting rules! 

 

In Science we have put our building skills to the test! We have done some exploring with different materials and tested them for strength, waterproof and flexibility. 

After learning about the tallest buildings in the world and their shapes the students worked in groups using different materials to make the tallest tower! 

Plastic cups were the tallest!

Our school is currently a donation spot for this very deserving bottle drive trust fund. If you have a garage full of bottles bring them on down on Wednesday, June 24th!
