Today was a very busy day, we barely spent any time in the portables. Our question this morning was: "Why do crabs walk sideways?". We watched a short video and discussed the important points of the explanation and we shared some new information that we learnt. We were surprised that some crabs can travel at speeds of 20 km/h; that's faster than we can cycle. We broke down some new words and tried to explain what they mean in our own words (see below).

We then had music, followed by PE and then we went to the library to work on our science animal hearing projects.

After Math, we had reading buddies with kindergarten. We helped them learn their fruits and vegetables by playing bingo.

We finished the day reading a chapter of ' Où sont les ours ?'. We then started to go through the first 2 chapters and wrote down definitions for some new words we had come across.

Ask me what the following words mean:

Carapace ( feminine noun) : Les carapaces des aident a protéger les crustacés comme les crabes et les homards.

Repousser (Verb: to grow back):  Si le crabe perde une de ses pinces, les pinces peuvent repousser.

Trébucher (Verb: to trip up or fall over) : Si le crabe avançait tout droit, ses pattes se mêleraient, et il trébucherait.
