T.W.A.S. May - June 1

This week we explored rocks and minerals in Science.  In groups, we visited centers to learn more about rocks and minerals.  The centers we explored were: examining soil samples under a microscope; learning about the rock cycle; exploring websites; learning about how people use rocks and minerals and we began testing rock properties using vinegar, a flashlight, scratching materials, etc.  Next week we will continue testing rock properties!

Wednesday was Sports Day!  There were lots of activities like face painting, hockey shoot-out, water gun target, an obstacle course, basketball all around the world, balloon toss, baseball batting cage, and so much more!  We created a survey to ask students what their favourite sports day activity was and now we are organizing our results with a bar graph.

In math, we did a multi-step perimeter task,  Watch for my Iris update about it soon!

In art, our class and Mrs. Libbey's made a collaborative mural to display at the Volunteer Tea.  It was beautiful!

Circle Friday has ended.  :-(

For next week:
Thursday is our field trip to Mary Poppins.  Students MUST be at school at 9:00am (not 9:10).  We are returning to the school at 12:45.
