Fun in the Snow!

Physical Education: I can explore ways to lead an active, healthy life

We took advantage of the fresh snow and had a free play outside for Gym yesterday. Here are some of our creations.

Time Capsule Opening!

Image
Opening the letter (Time Capsule is in the bottom right corner) SS: I can ask questions and take steps to gather information; SS: I can explore first-hand artifacts; SS: I can learn about and appreciate our past and think about the legacy we leave Here, you can see one of our lucky students is opening a letter addressed: "Open in the Year 2022"! Yesterday, we were given an exciting gift: a Time Capsule from 25 years ago! It was gifted to our school by a former teacher: Ms Kruk. Her class made the time capsule in the school year 1996-1997. Each student from her class put an artifact that they had that was valuable to them into the time capsule. There are also special donations from other important people like a police badge, a letter from the Mayor, a letter from Alberta's Premier from the time, Ralph Klein, and a letter from the Prime Minister, Jean Chretien. There were 70 objects in the time capsule altogether. They were very cool objects that are unique and like treasur...

Light and Shadow Experiments

Image
Science: I can record observations in a clear and organized way. I can discover and explain the predictability of light and shadows. I can observe and connect with nature. Math: I can measure accurately. Yesterday, we explored light and shadows in a few different ways. One way we experimented was by drawing a chalk outline of our shadows on the compound. We used our Measurement skills to observe how they changed throughout the day. "I was surprised to know that some of the shadows were the same as us. For example, if you put your hand on your head, it was reflected in your shadow." ~ Iggy "The shadow started to grow smaller and smaller as we were working because the sun started growing higher and higher in the sky." ~ Vance "One time, I wasn't moving and then all of a sudden, my shadow moved. I was trying to get back into the exact pose where the chalk was but it didn't work because it was different because the sun was moving." ~ Seb C "It did...

Chemical Changes!

Image
Science: I can explore household substances; I can use the scientific method to answer a question: I can design a fair test. In class, we have been learning about Chemistry and Matter. This week, we have been learning about physical and chemical changes. A Chemical Change is when there's a change that creates something new and a Physical Change is when its appearance changes but it's still the same substance.  Five clues that a chemical change has happened are:  Bubbles form  Heat is released Light is produced There is a colour change A smell is produced An example of a Physical Change would be changing States of Matter: An ice cube melting to water Yesterday, we put baking soda in a balloon and mixed it with vinegar to see what would happen. The balloons inflated. It was fun to watch them. When you mix baking soda and vinegar, it creates carbon dioxide (CO2) gas. They expanded because of the increase in carbon dioxide gas. We know the molecules, when they turn int...
