Top Five Fabulous!  February 21, 2020

1.  We looked at a new wonder this week.  This wonder was connected to science.  We learned a new science vocabulary word “camouflage”.  We looked at pictures of animals, in the wild, and they were camouflaged with their surroundings.  We talked about what we noticed and what we wondered.  Check out the wonder under the “Wonder Tab”.

2.  In math, we read a few really funny books about 2D shapes.  One of them was called, “Animal Shapes” and then we came up with a 2D shape, and animal and a name for the combination of the two, using our imaginations. Ask me what my shape was called. We also read “Square” and “Triangle”.

3.  We had the Calgary Opera come to our school this week.  The Opera was called, “The Brennan Musicians”.  We liked that at the end, it was a happy ending and it was funny.  The people wore cool costumes and they sang beautifully.

4.  In science, we went around the school and we read some thermometers after practicing with paper ones. We had to read the thermometers in degrees celicus and record them on our sheets.  We also used a temperature/heat gun to read it digitally. We went outside to read the temperature of the snow and a puddle using the heat gun.  This week we also recorded a hot temperature and a cold temperature and drew a picture that would match.

5.  In PE, we had a couple of guest teachers (students who had reached 100 on their home reading). We also worked on our hockey skills and we practiced passing back and forth to a partner.  We used our sticks safely by keeping the blade on the ground and making sure that we were accurate with our pass.  We had Fitness Friday this week as well!
