When Mrs. Zwack came back from her meeting, we worked on our pinwheels for Monday's Pinwheel For Peace celebration. We added many peaceful words and images that we hope will be spread by the wind around the world in an effort to create "Whirled Peace!"
Our Friday outdoor activity was "Compound Games." Today we learned five new games that we can play at recess. Our first game was a wall ball game called "Donkey." You throw the ball at the wall and jump over it when it returns to you. IF you don't jump over you get a letter - D. You play until someone spells out Donkey. The second game we learned was on the Fours Square. It is called Four Square Dodgeball. We learned a skipping game and song "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear." Our final game was Pac Man tag on the lines in the compound. Check out some of the pictures of our games.

ReplyDeleteIsabel liked the fact that First Nations People used oil sands ingredients to waterproof their canoes. Oil sands ingredients can also be found in toothpaste.

ReplyDeleteOne truck can carry 400 tons of oil sand. That is equal to 90 elephants. Spencer
ReplyDeleteI learned that if you mix hot water and oil together you get a separation of sand and oil and you can use the oil for different things. - Nick P.

Oil sand is buried underground. It is dug out by huge trucks and shovels. One truck can carry 400 tons of oil sand. That is equivalent to 90 elephants, 4000 adults and 40,000 cats. - Ella
