Week Thirteen!

We played basketball and next week we are moving into volleyball! On Wednesday we had a big basketball match, Mr. Collins let us choose if we wanted to play girls with girls, boys with boys, or grade against grade, or class against class. We chose class against class. It ended in a tie 6-6 we are super duper basketball players!

Our grade 1/2 buddies came in to watch our recycling videos! They turned out great! Check out some of them here!

Ms. Smaili and Ms. Tan came in and we learned about how the First Nations used buffalos. We learned that they used everything, even the poop! They used it for fueling fires. They used the buffalo brains to make leather softer. They used their skin to make teepees. They used to eat the heart, tongue and liver right away so it didn't go to waste. Basically we learned that the First Nations used to use every single part of buffalos so that nothing went to waste. They were able to find a use for everything! We got a print out of a buffalo and we had to guess what we thought each part of the buffalo was used for. Then we watched a video to see if our guesses were right and then if they weren't, we marked down the actual use with a different coloured pencil. After we did that we coloured our buffalos (most of us did...) brown!

In math we continued to learn about addition. We learned some more strategies and we also learned how to pull out the important information from word problems.

Because there is no school on Friday due to parent teacher interviews, we are having "Fun Friday" on Thursday! How wild!

See you all at parent teacher interviews this Thursday and Friday!

Until next week, love,

Room 7 & 8
