A Hoot with Hutton!

Science: Air and Aerodynamics In this experiment we were proving that air exerts pressure by seeing who could drink their water the fastest. Unbeknownst to them, all but one straw had holes in it. Ask your child why this impacted being able to drink the water! 💦

Phys Ed: Gaga ball outside!

We had a great turnout for bike to school day!

The classroom is a bit toasty today so we’ve come outside to do some sketching and reflecting.

A few photos of tonight’s sky - the Jupiter and Venus conjunction!

Go outside and look west right now! You can see Jupiter and Venus “kissing”. 🪐 #JupiterVenusConjunction

The grade 6s had James Durbano and the Astrodome @planetarium51 visit today. It was a great way to help the Sky Science concepts come alive! The kids loved going in the portable planetarium! 🪐

All set up for gymnastics.

Drumming with Elder Saa’kokoto.

Elder Saa’kokoto sharing stories with the grade 6 students.

Hanging bullying out to dry!

Next I asked them to do something difficult. They each wrote an “I Am” poem from the perspective of the role they randomly drew. I am so proud of my students. Their poems are beautiful. Here are a few of them…

Today we talked about bullying & the different types. Students drew a role: bully, bullied, bystander, or brave & discussed what each role means, why someone may fall into that role, how someone in that role behaves, & how they might feel. They dug deep & had powerful discussions

Why do math at our desks when Ms H can hide questions all around the classroom?!? Practicing converting fractions, decimals, and percents.
