Today's GOTD was the Chernobyl incident as we prepare to look at Ukraine in Social studies.
There will be no GOTD tomorrow.

We worked on our science projects today in class and will continue to work on them tomorrow too. If you did not bring in your materials today, please try and bring some things for tomorrow. I have some supplies but they are being shared between 2 classes so resources are becoming scarcer.

We had music with Madame Zdrill and with Monsieur Trevor we looked at different ways we can move our bodies. We played a game where we had to chase other players, moving like walruses, apes and bears. It was a lot of fun!

I have noted that some students are requiring extra pages for their reading blog, I will hand those out tomorrow to take home.

Thank you for getting in touch regarding the field trips, I now have some more information regarding the times.

Our trip to the Apple store will take place on February 18th. We will be leaving the school by foot at 8:30 am and hope to leave at 11:00 and be back at school by approximately 11:25 in time for lunch. We will be writing short stories which we will learn how to narrate using Apple equipment.

The Pysanky egg workshop on February 6th will take place at 8:00am- 9:25 for our classroom. If you are available to volunteer for this, it would be very appreciated as the workshop requires approximately 1 adult per 4 students.

In social studies we wrote sentences in our books thinking about how our currently quality of life would change if we lived in the desert, the jungle or the mountains.

" We wouldn't have clean water necessarily. There would be water but there could be dangerous animals or even dead animals in it".

" There would be fewer people." -  We were quite divided as a class over whether this was a good or bad thing!

" There wouldn't be nice big houses"
