Our Community

Room 10 has been learning all about our community.We brainstormed different business, buildings and other goods and services that are found within a community. We decided that we wanted to create little shops and goods and service buildings for the kindergarten students. Our first set was to create iLAB plans that included our blueprint, steps and materials needed. We worked hard on making signs, prices lists and menus. Today we invited our fellow grade 1 friends to take a peak in the morning and then our kindergarten friends in the afternoon. We felt it was challenging to keep up with all of our customers but we had fun! Check out some pictures.

Snow Shoeing

Room 10 took advantage of this beautiful weather and trying out snow shoeing today. It was a bit challenging getting all the snow shoes on so half the class tried it this time and the other half will try next time. It felt strange walking in them and it took some practice getting used to them. What a beautiful day to be outside!

Boiling Water and freezing Temperatures!

This week room 9 & 10 explored what happens to boiling water when it is thrown up in the air during very cold temperatures. We thought that since it is soooo cold out it would be the perfect opportunity to try it out. Before we headed out we talked about the scientific method.

Question:
What will happen when we throw boiling hot water in the air?

Hypothesis:
"The water will turn to ice"
"It might steam"
"It will turn to cold water"
"It will turn to warm water"
"Once it hits the ground it will turn to ice and make little holes"
"The ground below will turn to ice"

Procedure:

1. Boil water
2. Fill a mug
3. Go outside
4. Through water into the air!

The students decided that the water turned to smoke or steam.

Tomorrow is fun snack. Stay warm!

Cold morning explore time!

Room 10 enjoyed some explore centres on a cold, cold morning! We worked on 2-D and 3-D shapes, testing if objects roll, created snowman characters and completed some water cooler painting. During our explore time Mrs. McCaw took photos for us to use in our writing journals where we documented our learning.

Brr... it's cold outside!

Welcome back and happy 2020!

Tomorrow is a PD day.

Next week will be very cold please dress for the cold weather. We go outside up to -20, this includes the wind chill.

Have a great weekend!
