The One and Only Ivan

We wrapped up our novel The One and Only Ivan with some fun activities. The students researched facts about gorillas, made plasticine animals, painted and made edible me-balls. It was a great day!

Tennis Ball Tower Challenge

Designing Leprechaun Traps

Students were challenged to design and build an interesting structure: leprechaun traps. We read a book about a sneaky leprechaun who messes up homes and has evaded even the most clever traps. Will our traps catch the leprechaun? 

Spirit week

Cuba

Shylo took us to Cuba and taught us about the currency, climate, popular sports, foods and lovely beaches. She showed us handmade crafts that she brought back from Varadero. Did you know that visitors to Cuba use different currency than its residents?

Mexico

Kyrah taught us about Mexico and shared some souvenirs with us. She showed us Mexican pesos, a maracas, and a sombrero. Did you know that corn and chili peppers are grown in Mexico? 

This Week at School

T.W.A.S

This week at school we did spirit week! There was P.J day crazy hair/ hat day sports day and maverick day. There was also color day but that was on thursday! I was in my glory in my PJs !  It was a  lot of fun because it isn't every week you get to do spirit week!

We also did structures we watched science max. The video was about bridges and how to make them out of sugar cubes to milk cartons! At 1st the sugar cubes didn't stay up because they were all square but then he shaved them into trapezoids. Then they stayed up. The cartens  where to big so they  tried to shave into a different shape but that took to long!

This afternoon we will be making st.patrick's day structures!

We also did well read a article should we have zoos? It is about both sides telling us if we should have or not!
