It was a GRAPE day!

This week was fantastic! 

In Math, we did 3D shapes using grapes and toothpicks! We made cubes, rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, triangular pyramids and square pyramids! It was fun and delicious!

We played French bingo with our fruit and vegetable words! Everyone got a prize and some people got 2 or 3! 

For science, we used cars to test friction outside! It was fun. When the cars were on the cement, they didn't move that well! We still have to test them on the floor and on the carpet. 

Today we wrote acrostic poems about OURSELVES! They look GREAT! 

The week was great and busy! Have a nice LONG weekend!!!

FRENCH BINGO

GRAPE 3-D SHAPES

LEARNING ABOUT FRICTION OUTSIDE

Lighthouses and Ice Cream

This week was a fantastic week!

We learned about lighthouses and we painted lighthouses. We sketched a lighthouse then used water colour paints and oil pastels to fill it in with colour! They turned out fabulous and beautiful.

We are learning about 3D shapes! We went around the school and had a scavenger hunt for 3D shapes using the iPads. We had to take a picture of the item we found and say what shape it was. We used that to make a 3D shape book! We are also doing math centres with 3D shapes!

We learned about friction. Friction is stops movement. It happens when 2 objects rub together. To test out friction, we slipped around the classroom in our socks, in our runners and then in bare feet! We found the most friction happened when you were bare foot! We slid around outside on the rocks, gravel, cement and grass! We found the grass had the MOST friction with our shoes! We even raced in the gravel, on the grass and on the concrete! It was the easiest to run on the grass.

Today was our last spelling test and we did AWESOME!! We did so awesome that Ms. Moffatt gave us an ice cream scoop! She also gave us ANOTHER ice cream scoop for having neat printing. So now we have 5 ice cream scoops and we only need 5 more for our ice cream beach party!

Have a great weekend!
