Activity Day!

Wow! Today was just the most perfect day for our Activity Day and Hot Lunch! We truly lucked out with the weather! Did you know 120 students and adults volunteered their time to help out with Activity Day?! Grade 5s and parents ran stations in the morning. Then, over 40 students from Robert Andrews helped out parents in the afternoon! It was so great to see some "old" students! Thanks to all the families that joined us outside for a picnic lunch! And then we ended the day with freezies, thanks to PAC!

Special Visitor to Room 31 . . . Tiago!

Today was the Volunteer Appreciation Tea to thank all the dedicated people out there that help out BHS in a variety of ways. My sister Leah had volunteered her time and awesome photobooth way back in February for I LOVE to read month, so she was invited too. After the tea, she stopped by the class with my adorable nephew to meet the students of Room 31. Nicholas suggested that we all get a picture together, so we did!

Today we got to see Ms.Wasney’s nephew Tiago! He was so cute, he loves to giggle and he made lots of funny noises! We all played peek-a-boo with him and we got a class photo with him when he was in his stroller. We’re guessing he likes to dance because he started to dance in his stroller. When he had to go he started to cry a little bit because he didn’t want to leave.

Activity Day + Hot Lunch + Popsicles + Amazing Weather = An AWESOME Day!

Today, the weather was perfect for our Activity Day! Thanks to the Phys Ed teachers, lots of parent volunteers (many from Room 5!), and the Grade 5 and 6 students, we had a super organized, fun-filled day! We had a yummy hot lunch . . . nothing beats a BBQ on a summer day, and polished off some popsicles just before heading home. Take a peek to see how busy we were:

Field trip to the Children's Museum!

Today, we went to the Manitoba Children's Museum! We had an awesome time exploring the newly renovated museum! Then we took part in a program on structures. We had a recycling race, and then we worked in groups to build stable structures. Luke, our leader, even tested the structures with a leaf blower! It was so fun! A BIG thank you to Mrs. Jackson and Mrs. Werner for joining us today! Please be sure to take a peek at the pictures . . .

 . . . and here's the video of the leaf blower!

Science Gallery Field Trip!

Today, we went to the Science Gallery at the Manitoba Museum. We had a full hour of exploration time and then we participated in a program on Sound. It was a super day! A BIG thank you to Mr. Friesen and Mrs. Loewen for joining in on the fun! I hope the video reminds you of the great time we had!

During the presentation on Sound, we learned about pitch, vibration, and sound waves. Here is a video of Michael, Aidan, and Alyssa demonstrating what pitch is all about! Can you tell what song they're playing?

What was your favourite part of the field trip?

Super Science!

Over the last few weeks, we have been doing some awesome science experiments in our class! The Grade 3s have been learning about Magnets and Gravity, and the Grade 4s have been learning about Sound. We would like to send out a HUGE thank you to Emmy's mom, Ms. Booth, who has been a fabulous volunteer in our classroom during our science explorations! She helped out so much with the Grade 3s during this time, which I really appreciated. I hope you enjoy the video!

 

What has been your favourite part of science this term?

Welcome Back!

It was so nice to see all of you after a wonderful Christmas break! Wow! We all looked a little tired, so I know it's going to be a challenge getting back into a routine again! One student looked at his watch today and said, "10:12, if I was at home, I'd still be sleeping"! I think we all agreed! Ha Ha Ha

I was really excited that we were able to finish presenting our Province Research Projects today! You all worked so hard and it really showed! Thanks to Ms. Booth for creating the province posters! That was very helpful and I appreciated it so much!

I hope you enjoy the video!

Conservatory Field Trip - November 4th, 2011

Way back in November, we went on a field trip to the Assiniboine Park Conservatory to participate in a program called "Plantzilla" where we learned about carnivorous plants. We toured the palm house, made venus fly trap puppets, and even planted our own plants to take home. A BIG thank you to Mrs. Porco and Ms. Booth for joining us that day!
