Today was a day packed full of science! As we study plants and learn about all the things necessary for them to survive, we have also been curious about the inner workings of plants. Learning new science vocabulary words like photosynthesis, chlorophyll, capillaries, etc. Conducting a science experiment to learn how quickly capillaries carry water through different types of plants required us to use food colouring, celery (thick stem) and flowers (thin stem) and observations over several days.
Our music specialist is being a choir club. If your child was interested a form was sent home in their backpack with further information. Being the leaders of our school meant we assumed the responsibility of collecting the recycling for the entire school every Thursday! We will be pairing with some our grade 2 buddies in Mrs. McDougall's class to do some teaching about how our recycling program will work this year. We continue to look at number patterns in math and utilizing counting on strategies for adding and subtracting. Short daily practice at home will also help with recollection at school. In the gym, Miss N taught us a game called Mr. Mars where students had to run across the gym without being tagged. Students called by colour or by an item they were wearing. Lastly, we wrote acrostic poems that required us to used a variety of descriptive words to tell about ourselves.
