P-5 Understanding the World - Sink or float experiment

Today we have run an experiment to discover whether coins and bottle caps sink or float.
First we had to think of what we thought was going to happen when we put them in the water basin. Then we ran the experiment and observed what actually happened.
We were surprised when we got a "great" stamp on our worksheet, no matter what we had thought was going to happen. This is because we are becoming critical thinkers and our thoughts are more than welcome! ... and Happy Valentine's day!!!

P-5 English - Driving on down to grandpa's farm

We are learning about different means of transport. Today we sang the song DRIVING ON DOWN TO GRANDPA'S FARM, holding our steering wheels, because we were driving our cars! Driving on down to grandpa's farm x3 What sounds will we hear? We have also reviewed the different animals we learnt in term 1. By guessing the name of the animal's sound. Then we coloured a car while we were listening and or singing the song. We counted how many windows and wheels the car had. We also practised saying "I'm done" and "I'm finished".

Today we have learnt and put into practice a technique that might help us be better readers. It's called Connecting to Previous Knowledge, and it's helpful to have better reading comprehension skills and to remember what we have read. We really enjoyed this activity.

5th grade - Science - Matter Properties Experiment - The Scientific Method

Today we have run different experiments in class. Last week we learnt the different properties of matter and we wanted to know which object was harder, more teantious, more elastic,... Therefore, we had to decide how we could check on the objects' properties. After that we had to formulate a hypothesis and then we had to test it. But we had to make sure it was a fair test. The mnemonic "Cows Moo softly" helps us remember how to plan a fair test: Change one thing, Measure something and keep everything else the Same. We had to think hard but we really enjoyed it, and it's great for us, because it helps us become critical thinkers.
