Author Visits Holland

There was an author who visited holland school to tell us about her books. She used some animals to tell us her story. Her stories were telling us about some diseases. She used some specific reasons why she used an animal to tell us her stories. I think that our class liked it alot. She had a nice presentation.

Weather

This week we started a new topic in science : weather. We started with 6 activities and everyone had the chance to do all of them because we rotated. Each activity is educational and all had something to do with weather: tornadoes, hurricanes, vortex, reading on the topic, Smartboard activities and computer websites. Except for one, in which we learned how to use the proscope. This new topic is interesting and educational for all the class. Everyone learned at least one thing.

Forces Field Trip

Yesterday, we went to the cegep Garneau for a demonstration on forces. We learned about gravity, static electricity, weight/scales, air pressure and physical strength etc... He did some cool smaller demonstraions, too. One of the coolest ones was when he used a smoke machine and put the smoke into a drumlike container. He tapped the bottom and rings of smoke came out of the top. A funny thing he did was when he put leaf blower by his mouth and his cheeks inflated. Also with a big water container, he used a lighter and put it inside, and it went across the room!
It was a fun field trip!
