We had an absolute blast with Alien Inline Skating. Students learned to safely fall, to skate forwards, backwards, stop, do a lemon drop, a go-kart, and dance to disco!
In science we did a number of challenges with hot and cold temperature. For the ice melt challenge, we had to melt an ice cube as quickly as possible. Ask your child what strategy they used. Then we did a design challenge and built an insulator that would keep an ice cube frozen the longest. Ask your child what their team built and what they learned about insulation.
In math we have been learning about data and graphs. Today the students looked at the playground renderings and came up with a question to ask about what pieces of equipment are important to have on our playground. Students came up with a question, some categories such as climbing wall, bridge, swing, slide, glider etc. They then asked various people in the school about their choices. Students then used the data to create a pictograph and tell what their data and research showed them.
