Earth Day Clean-up

We went out to clean up our park!

Earth Day

Students helped to create a list of ways to keep our environment clean. Then they created their own Earth.

Data collection

Students asked their classmates "What is your favourite season?" and recorded their results using a tally.

Getting Ready for Easter

The students created an Easter bag in hopes that the Easter bunny will come and fill it with candies!

 

 

We've also been painting Easter eggs:

 



It Looked Like Spilt Milk

After reading the story "It Looked Like Spilt Milk", the students created their own cloud pictures.

They put white paint on the paper, folded it in half and opened it up.

They decided what their "cloud" looked like and completed the sentence from the story.

Sometimes it looked like a _______.
But it wasn't a _________.
It was just a cloud in the sky.

3D solids - roll, stack, slide

The students continued to investigate 3D solids (cube, sphere, cylinder, prism, cone).

They tested each shape and sorted them into different groups.

 

Does it roll?

Does it slide?

 

Does it stack?



Painting with Magnets



Testing Magnet Strength

Which magnet will hold the most paperclips?
