Thursday May 5. Day 1

We started the day off reading a very brief morning message.     We moved quickly into our science activities.      We made Ooblek ( an non-newtonian fluid).    We measured cornstarch, and water to review our understanding of capicity. We then added food colouring and watched as we mixed different solids and liquids.   We found that it was sometimes a solid and sometimes a liquid.... very interesting!   We the recorded the procedure, materials and observations  in our "Ooblek Booklet.:"   The Grade 3's worked on an engineering challenge.  Using only newpaper and masking tape, students were asked to create a structure that was 1m high and could hold a mass of at least 500g.



Working together mixing blue Ooblek. Is it a solid or a liquid?



Discovering the mystery of red Ooblek When does it act solid? When is it a liquid?

Can this hold 500g?  Is it 100cm tall? 

After recess,  we worked to complete different Math activities that needed to be completed or had corrections that needed to be made.

After lunch, we had DPA with Mr. Brutto.     When we returned to did some writing and then Emmanuel visited us to once again discuss things babies can and can't do, and what makes each of us special or important.  It was nice to hear what everyone that made them special or unique.

After recess we did some literacy work.   Two groups read and two groups worked on dictionary activities, and some worked on shooting their commercials.    Below is a completed commercial for "PupStuff: Good for humans but best for dogs!"This commericial was written, produced and shot by Samanthan, Letizia and Ella.

This commericial is for Super Orange.  Written, directed and shot by Jonah, Zane,  and Jack.
