In Science this week we did some fun colour stations! We did an experiment called "Magic Milk." We poured milk and 2 primary coloured drops of food colouring into our milk. We then dipped a q-tip into dish soap and watched as the milk/colours reacted! We mixed it together to make our secondary colours. We also mixed red plasticine with white plasticine to make different shades of red. We coloured a picture using only the 3 primary colours and we played eye spy in partners.
The Grade 4 students came in to show us how to make a rainbow out of a flashlight, prism and paper. We drew what happened in our visual journals.
In Gym class we are working on throwing and catching. We have a Tchoukball set that we are practicing on. The Grade 6 gym experts came in to show us how it works!
In art class we made poppies for Remembrance Day. We used a sponge and acrylic paint to add texture.
In Math we learned how to play the game war. The game helps us recognize which number is more and which number is less.
In LA we are working on the letters w, h, r, l and e. We encourage you to work on the practices that were sent home on Wednesday. We have started doing LA stations which are called "Daily 5." Students work on independent reading, reading with a partner, listening to stories on the i-pads (using epic), and working on their word booklets. Next week we will introduce the 5th station of daily 5 which is writing.
In Social Studies we finished our Remembrance Day booklets and sent them home. Please look in your child's backpack to see their amazing work!
In Religion we are working on praying for others and saying the Our Father. We have been reading bible stories and discussing their meaning. Ask me what my favorite one is so far!
