Thank You Family Studies Class!

During the past three Thursdays Ms Rivard and her Family Studies students organized various activities with the Grade 1/2M class. All of us had a great time and we would like to thank Ms Rivard and her students for all of the work they did. It was very much appreciated! Watch the video to get a glimpse of what happened. - Ms Martens
                     

We played snakes and ladders. It was very kind of them to make the game. We had to roll a dice and move to a different spot. We had lots of fun. The other group made paper airplanes. One hit me in the head. They had to see how far they could fly. – Stanley

One Thursday we played laser tag. We had to crawl under string and get to the other side. If you touched the string you had to start all over again. We also made fortune tellers. – Autumn

We made chocolate chip cookies and we coloured. I put in the sugar. We also put in chocolate chips, salt, oatmeal, flour, eggs and butter. We ate the chocolate chip cookies when they were done. We got two each. - Abby

Trip to the Valley Regional Library

The Grade 1/2M class walked from the school to the library. Mrs. Ali read us a story called "Mr Fine, Porcupine" and asked the students to find a good fit book for their partner. The students were then allowed to look at books and tour the library. Thank you Mrs. Ali for taking the time to read to our class. We had a great time! - Ms Martens

               

DIPPING SNOWFLAKES!

First we had a coffee filter, then we dipped it in food colouring and you shouldn't dip it too much because otherwise it will just be one colour. Then you let it dry and then you cut it. Don't cut too much or it won't look that good. If you cut the top corner off then you are going to have a circle in the middle of your snowflake. It was really fun making it.
Andrew

We dipped the coffee filter into the food colouring and we made snowflakes. We cut the snowflakes out. Then we glued it on construction paper. I used red, blue, purple, green and yellow. - Charity

I liked the way the other snowflakes turned out and mine. My snowflake is very cool because it is very great for Valentine's Day. It has hearts on it. I used blue, green. yellow and red. - Matteo

BAKING BISCUITS!

We used flour and sugar. We cut the butter and added it. We squished the dough and made biscuits. I liked them. - Adam

We used baking soda, sugar and cut the butter up. We put the biscuits in the oven and I really liked them. They were really good! - Natasha

The biscuits were soooo yummy and soooo delicious. We used sugar, salt and buttermilk and stirred it up. We cut the dough into circles and put them in the oven for 10 minutes. - Liam Penner

SNOWMAN FUN!

                         

We used Q-tips and dipped them in the paint. We made dots for the snowman. It was lots of fun! - Aylie

The snowman was made with Q-tips. We dotted with the paint and used white, red, orange, green and black. It was very, very good. - Nathan

Our Trip To The Morris Museum

At the museum I saw an old oven, babies and trucks. It was great! - Riley

I learned that in the olden days it must have been a hard life. I saw an old bathtub, the oven, the iron, and a red gasoline tank.  I liked the cookies. - Avery

I saw old guns, skates, the gasoline mask and I like the medals. I learned that the bathtub was made out of metal. There were no computers. - Logan M.

The shoes were under the bed. I saw old coins, and an old scale. We sat in old school desks. I liked going to the museum. - Natasha

WE CAN TAKE MEALWORMS HOME!

We are allowed to take the mealworms and beetles home, but we need to bring a jar or container. I want to take some mealworms home.  Or a beetle or a pupa. I'll bring a container tomorrow. - Ayden
