Great day today with the kids working hard, having fun and building bridges. We had some time working on number expression in math and even played some addition bingo for a little break from the "tough" stuff. We began the process of writing to our pen pals in Edmonton who attend Mount Royal Elementary. They have an arts focus so should be interesting looking at the differences in schools and students. For some reason a few became fixed on asking about bathrooms... but the final product should be bathroom talk free :)
Our Social Studies posters which can be viewed on the page were presented and the kids did a great job introducing us to the basics of our studied nations. Science class was a lot of fun as we studied arches and the impact the distance the arch covers has on its stability. Our 20cm arch of simple paper held an amazing 520 grams. The 30cm arch did not perform as well maxing out at 300grams. There were many great observations and conclusions made but the winning moment of the day came in the form of one of the boys proclaiming "Mr.Gilson I think it shows size is not everything" With that we are done another day. Until tomorrow. We hope you enjoy reading about our day!
Cheers,
Mr.G
