We Love To Read!

 

It was very fun when I held the torch from the Vancouver Olympics. We had a contest to get $100 worth of books for our classroom. We had to make 400 rings. We got 674 rings. My dad was a Royal Reader and I liked reading. I love to read was fun. - Sophie  

 

I had a lot of fun reading. Altogether in my rings I had 170 and the minutes I read was 970. I love to read month was fun and my Royal Reader was my Grandma. She brought cookies. The book my Grandma read was "Clara The Cookie Fairy". It was a lot of fun when we won the prize. We got a new stuffed animal from the library. I love to read month is over, but the Paralympics are on now. We have 6 medals in the Paralympics. - Molly

Olympic Ring Cupcakes

We baked cupcakes. We put in cake mix and eggs and mixed it together. We put them in the trays and baked them. We put on icing. Red, blue, black, yellow and green. It was lots of fun. - Danya

We made cupcakes with oil, eggs, and a cake mix. We mixed it with a mixer machine. It was lots of fun. We decorated the cupcakes with the Olympic colours. Ms Martens mixed the icing to make blue icing. She used chocolate icing and black food colouring. I got 5 cupcakes and I ate them with my sister and mom and dad. - Alex

I liked using the mixer because it goes around and around. We put water in the bowl. After we put icing on the cupcakes. We put blue, yellow, black, green and red. I liked eating them. - Alisha
       

Prairie Theatre Exchange

I really liked the play because I got to be the Qallupilluit in "A Promise is a Promise". I liked being a helper with them and I got to see backstage. It was really cool. I had to move around and do a little dance. They did "Pigs", "Fifty Below Zero", "Zoom" and "I Have To Go". The actors were awesome. They practised for 2 weeks before they came to our school. -Molly

I liked being a pig in the play. I had to run and spin around. My favourite play was "Fifty Below Zero". I liked doing the stuff. - Cara-Lyn

I liked when I was being a pig and dancing around and I was looking at the actors. They opened the gate and I had to jump in. I liked the "Pigs" play the best. - Lucas

I liked when I was on stage. It was fun. I was on the wheelchair. I was the brother and I liked being the brother because I am a brother. I liked the acting. - Hayden

One More Time!

Cara-Lyn and her mom asked a great question. "If you added food colouring to the boiling water would the cloud turn white or be the colour?" We were very curious so we tried the experiment again adding food colouring.

Jan. 24th - Weather Turns Warm: Temp. -3 Windchill -11

When the weather turned warm and we threw boiling water into the air it only evaporated a little little bit. The water just hit the ground. We learned that if the weather is warm the water will hit the ground. - Hayden

We threw hot water into the air it fell onto the ground. Only a little evaporated. The weather needs to be colder. - Cara-Lyn

Working With The Frigid Weather: Temp. - 28 Windchill -36

We used a kettle to make the water heat up. Then we went outside and threw the water into the air. The water evaporated. We all ran to it. It was a lot of fun. - Hana

We ran to the fog. Some of us fell down because we couldn't see. The fog went up up into the air. We thought it might turn into a cloud, but it didn't.  It just evaporated. - Ethan

Morris Museum

We went to the Morris Museum. Mr. and Mrs. McCrady showed us around the museum. We saw a scale and we weighed ourselves. She showed us a little toy train, old toys, old school house, and an old desk. They gave us a cookie and a drink. I had fun. - Danya
