Manitoba Museum Field Trip

Our class took our first field trip on April 22nd to the Manitoba Museum.  We got to learn even more about the Inuit in Inuit: People of the North and more about Sound for Science.  And...we got to have some fun while we learned!  Check out some pictures from our day and be sure to read Bruce's 3-2-1 review of our trip.  Enjoy!

Manitoba Museum Field Trip

Inuit:

In the Inuit part I learned what the Inuit eat, what they use as tools and Clothes. I learned that the Inuit eat Beluga Whales, Seal and Caribou. I learned that they use Inukshuks, the kudlik and the ulu. 

I learned that they use caribou skin and seal skin to make parkas and mukluks.

Sound:

In sound I learned about an object, it’s called oobleck. It’s not a liquid or a solid. It’s really cool. 

I enjoyed:

I enjoyed learning about the Inuit because it’s exciting. I enjoyed seeing the oobleck because it was cool to see what it was.

I wonder:

I wonder how you make the oobleck?

This week was wonderful and lots and lots and lots of fun

In ELA we listened to Ms. Dodds read, “Matilda.” Yesterday Matilda did a really big prank on her family she brought her friends parrot home without anyone seeing except her friend.  She hid the parrot in the house and the parrot started talking and Matilda’s family didn’t know who was talking and Matilda said there is a crook in the dining room. And then they all went into the dining room and there was no one there. But they still were hearing someone talking and then Matilda said oh no I think it might be a ghost and then everyone started screaming. And that’s what we heard in Matilda.

In art we are sketching flowers.  We’re making art that has flowers on it. We practiced sketching flowers and we had to practice a lot but I really, really like drawing flowers. And now that I've practiced a lot I'm really good at drawing flowers. We are going to paint the flowers with water colour paint it will make it look really good at the start we had to tape our paper down. We did some other stuff on it but it is kind of hard to explain.

In gym we played badminton we learned a tip for when your serving. You don’t swing the badminton all the way behind you; you just keep it simple and keep it in front of you. I love playing badminton.

I enjoyed gym because I love to play badminton. I also enjoyed art because the art that were doing is simple and it will look great in the end.

My goal is to keep bringing my 3-2-1 in because I am getting a little bit good at it.

Spring Haiku Samples

Our class has been working hard to write some Spring Haikus to go with some spring artwork we'll be doing.  Check out some of our fantastic poems!

3-2-1 Update by Jaxon

3-2-1 update April 14-17

This week we had lots of stuff to do. It was so fun this week though. I learned how our ears work, it was so fun. It looked so cool when we watched the video on our ears.  We also did a quiz together about the video, we got 8/10.I learned how to read the ‘avril’ poem in French- it was so hard. But other than that it was fun because I got to work with a partner. I learned about what the Inuit eat now and how they ate back then.  Before they ate only seals, caribou, berries and polar bears and now they eat pizza, bread, vegetables and snack foods. 

One thing I enjoyed was writing our Haiku poems.  It was fun because we got to think about spring in our minds first, then we got to write about it.  Another thing I enjoyed was gym class when we played angry bird tag.  We haven’t played it in a long time, so I had fun!

My goal for this week is to get better at typing.  I can practice at home to meet this goal.

3-2-1 weekly update April 7-11th By Arden

This week was busy, we did lots of stuff! Well, it was the week back from spring break! And I’m kinda sad because spring break is over L. But the good thing is we are moving on with the year, and soon it will be summer and this torturing will be over! So I should move on, to talk about our week.

 In ELA we learned voice writing. And we got to pick a food to describe in the grocery store! And for the anniversary we had to write about our favourite memory of your whole life in BHS from kindergarten, to now. and when we were doing ELA, we got to watch Silverwing! That was a book we read, it`s good!

In math we learned two strategies. I don’t know how to explain! HONESTLY! But I still know them.

 In gym we did badminton and we learned how to hold our rackets the right way, and to throw and, hit the birdie the right way. And then we played volleyball with a huge beach ball!

In science we learned how vibrations make sound, example: if you talk, your voice comes out of your voice box and as it passes your vocal cords, and when it passes your vocal cords it vibrates them, causing it to make sound and vibrations make sound. Easy.

2 things I enjoyed were firstly, gym because the big beachball and secondly, ELA because while we were doing ELA we were watching Silverwing!

My goal for next week is to work on my strategies.
