We compared the differences between a worm and a centipede. A said, “Centipedes have antennas, but worms don’t.” Another student said, “ They have lines.” M said, “ They have legs and are a different colour.” H said, they are hairy.”@MmeCowper @MsMcNiece @StPhilipOCSB
The students were entomologists. When we came across a bug outside, we weren’t sure what it was, so we looked it up in our pamphlet. @MsMcNiece @MmeCowper@StPhilipOCSB
Today, as a part of Catholic Education week, we had a mystery reader in our class! Thank you to Mrs.Fortier for the wonderful story! @MsMcNiece @MmeCowper@StPhilipOCSB
Last week, the Hummingbirds made flower soup. They used scientific exploration and collaboration. We discovered that the water changed colour after we added the flowers. They communicated whether they needed more flowers or water.

They had to figure out how to make the dry paint work outside. They tried snow, but it didn’t work. A said, “The puddles!” The students ran to a puddle to dip their brushes. L decided to fill a bucket with water and dump it on the paint tray. @MmeCowper @MsMcNiece @StPhilipOCSB
Ms. McNiece created a wonderful writing activity for the Hummingbirds! #Demonstrating literacy and mathematics behaviours. #fine motor skills @MsMcNiece @MmeCowper@StPhilipOCSB
These Hummingbirds used innovation and collaboration to peel the bark off the tree stump. Tomorrow, we are going to look at the bark using a magnifying glass !! @MmeCowper @MsMcNiece @StPhilipOCSB
We had a lot of fun dressing up at the dramatic play center. C said, “ I am wearing this hat because I am very brave!” @MmeCowper @MsMcNiece @StPhilipOCSB
