The kids made cupcakes to share with the neighbourhood kids.

Outrun A Dino

 The Mystery Science experiment today was to see if the kids could outrun a dinosaur that was approximately the same size as they were. The conclusion was that they all had large enough steps to out run this particular dinosaur except little Miss A.

 

Skate Park

Science today was a little unconventional. You don't always have to be in a classroom to learn about simple machines. The kids had a blast experimenting with WHEELS, and INCLINED PLANES(RAMPS).  The weather wasn't the warmest, but that never stopped the kids from enjoying the skate park. Getting outside and enjoying the earth under your feet always make us feel better.  They would be here ever day if we lived closer.

Direction Sign Posts

Today is another Mystery Science Experiment/Activity. The kids have had a great time with this new resource. It is turning into one of our favourite science go to's.  

This activity was to make a sign post with the 4 directions.

Moon Phase

This is a little experiment we did to help us understand the phases of the moon, and why we see them. This was an experiment from Mystery Science.  The video didn't work out the greatest, but the little raCOONs had a blast doing it.

Construction Time

Santa Claus  gave the boys building set and it was time to put them together.

Show What You Know

Here are the Videos for todays, Show What You Know . They're of  Mr G, and Mr W playing the piano. They have been working really hard at learning the note names, getting all the counting right, and they have started to add in some dynamics this year. They are very excited to share their pieces they have prepared.
