Design Process

I built a boat out of stryofoam and it floated. It could hold 96 pennies. Everyone's boat floated. We put them in water and put pennies on them. - Nick

I built a raft and I used popsicle sticks and stryofoam balls and a plastic cup. I tested it in my hot tub and put on the jets and bubbles. It went nuts, but still floated. It floated and it held 85 pennies. - Hana

First I started off with a blue print and then my dad got the pieces for my boat. Next we cut it so it would make an angle in the front. The materials I used were stryofoam, popsicle sticks, paper and glue. I had a lot of fun making it. It floated and held 180 pennies. Everything is awesome! Everything is cool when you are building a boat! - Hayden

Our Butterflies!

We got caterpillars in May. They were little when we got back from school they got bigger. When the caterpillar were big they turned into a chrysalis. They stayed in the chrysalis for 2 weeks. Then they turned into a butterfly. We let our butterflies go at Mrs. Edel deck. It was fun. - Mark

We liked having butterflies in our classroom. I did not want the butterflies to go because they were sooo pretty. They were Painted Lady Butterflies. We let our butterflies on the 13th. We were sad after we let them go. We found a caterpillar on Mrs. Edel's tree. We had fun with the butterflies. They were caterpillars then chrysalis and then butterflies. It was fun watching them go through the stages. We liked how they flew and dried their wings because I have never seen a butterfly dry their wings. I have 16 caterpillars on my tree at home. Now they are all chrysalis and there is 1 butterfly. - Molly

We had 16 caterpillars and they changed into a chrysalis and then a butterfly.We had lots of fun with them. I got to put a butterfly on my finger. - Alisha

Field Trip

We took a bus to the Nature Playground. I went on the swings and slide. It was a lot of fun. We got to see Prince Charles and then we went to the Zoo. We saw a reindeer, porcupine, buffalo, a cougar and monkeys. Everyone should visit the zoo. It was lots of fun. - Danya

We got to the park on a bus. We went to Winnipeg. I walked up the hill and went down the slide. We went to the zoo and we saw buffalo, ducks and monkeys. My favourite animal was the cougar. I had fun. - Graham

We had fun at the field trip. We saw Prince Charles twice. We saw him once at the Pavilion and then we saw him at the zoo in his car and he waved to us. We played on slides and swings and we ate our lunch there. At the zoo we saw a cougar and bison. We had fun! - Tate

Shannon Rempel Comes to Morris School



Meeting Shannon Rempel - Olympic Speed Skater

Shannon won a silver medal in the 2006 Winter Olympics. Shannon practises 6 hours a day. She stops at lunch and she has fun with her teammates. Shannon has to eat healthy food when she is practising like apples and oranges and all kinds of other things. She trains in Calgary. I know her because she is my cousin. It is fun having a winter Olympic cousin. She is from Winnipeg. She started speed skating when she was 10. She played hockey first and then speed skating. I'm glad she came to our school. - Molly

Shannon came to our school and it was fun. She is a speed skater and skated in the Olympics. She passed her skate around and her suit. It was fun. She also passed her medal around. - Alisha

Reduce, Reuse and Recycle!

We baked cupcakes with Mrs. Penner. We made a cake mix and we added green and blue food colouring in separate bowls. We took cupcake pans and poured green and blue mix into it. Mrs. Penner cooked it and we made Earth Day cupcakes. Then we took blue and green clay. We patted it down on a plate and took pipe cleaners and pom poms and used hot glue to glue the pom poms to the pipe cleaners. We stuck pipe cleaners into the green clay. We made Truffula Trees. Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not. - Hana

We made our little world out of a Styrofoam ball. We used tissue paper and the colour was blue and green. Blue and green make earth colours. If you want to help the earth you can pick up garbage and be happy about our world and province. In the story "The Lorax" the Once-ler cut down the trees and he did not listen to the Lorax. We made Truffula Trees. - Alex

I started a "Clean Up" club to help the earth. We pick up garbage in the playground and in the field and in the basketball court. We want the earth to be more healthy. We made cupcakes and watched "The Lorax". I feel sad when people don't clean up. We made the little world out of tissue paper and Styrofoam balls. - Sophie

Mr and Mrs. McDougall Visit Our Classroom!

My parents came to my classroom and my dad sang and played the drum. We walked around him. They showed us a dream catcher. My mom brought bannock and we all ate it. We looked at mitts and my mom's wedding necklace. I'm glad they came and it was fun. - Cara-Lyn

Mr. and Mrs. McDougall came to our classroom to teach us about Aboriginal culture. Mr. McDougall speaks Ojibway. He is Cree and Ojibway. We did a "Round Dance". It was very fun doing the dance. It was about unity.  Mrs. McDougall showed us the medicine they used. They use sweet grass and sage. I got to wear the cradle board where they put the babies into. It was a lot of fun. - Molly

Day of Pink!

Standing for Respect!

Over 19,000 people across the province are standing for respect today as part of the third annual Red Cross Day of Pink. Red Cross Day of Pink, presented by RBC Royal Bank, brings awareness of the impact of bullying and what people can do to create safe and respectful communities.

Across Manitoba, more than 365 schools and businesses are hosting events that include film festivals, speakers’ series, rallies and parades to inspire their community to take action against bullying. For each official Red Cross Day of Pink t-shirt sold, the Red Cross can educate one community member to recognize and respond to bullying.

100th Day

Today was 100th Day! We made necklaces out of fruit loops. We had to put 100 fruit loops on our necklace. We also made crowns. We put 100 stickers on a crown. I ate a lot of fruit loops. They were good. I made a poster and I got a 100th Day certificate. It was a lot of fun. - Darius
