We are working with #BeeBots 🐝 online to develop our #coding and #vocabulary skills, while getting used to using Chromebooks.💻 Students are giving directions en français for their partner to navigate to different parts of the community!

We really enjoyed observing the life cycle of butterflies! I'm so happy the air cleared in time for their release!

Our class has been waiting patiently to check our science experiment results, and today was the day! 🌞
Parents: Please ask your child about the question, prediction, procedure, and results! What did it teach us about solar energy?

We loved our virtual workshop with The Ottawa Humane Society today! We learned all about properly caring for cats and dogs to keep them happy and healthy! We even got to act as cats and dogs for body breaks! Merci, @ottawahumane !! 🐱🐶💗

We have been learning about the 5 Rs: respect, rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle!
Yesterday, Mr. Brian popped by to help us learn how to properly sort our waste into the 3 bins. We're also making an effort to bring our food scraps home for composting!

Warm sun, clean snow, and lots of giggles! Spending time on Highlands Hill was a great way to get some Valentine's Day sillies out! 💌

Science Experiments!
Yesterday, we examined the permeability of different materials.
Today, we wondered why umbrellas are made of nylon and not other materials. ☂️🤔
Words that came up today were "imperméable", "durable", "pliable", and "léger"! 😀
