The Guy Weadick Rodeo


We went to Birchwood Park today.  The park was made out of wood and a little bit of metal.  There were wooden chairs and tables that some people ate their lunch. There were even wooden climbers, a metal slide that had a mirror underneath the slide!  It was a long, long, long hot walk!

This morning, we had an assembly about the Guy Weadick Rodeo this weekend.  There is fun things for kids like trampolines and bouncy castles.  There is bullriding and horseback riding and even trick riding. One girl had a bull whip that she can light on fire.  When she snapped her whip it was a LOUD noise!

Tomorrow is Extra Recess Day for only Grade 1s, 2s, and 3s.

Camping in the classroom!




Tomorrow will be Bubblegum Day.  If you don't have gum, the teacher will give you a piece after lunch.  If you have gum, you can bring it.

Our classroom is a Camp Out!  We are camping in the classroom. We have literacy block with Camp Read a Lot, Camp Bookworm, Camp Blue Water and Camp Evergreen.  It looks like a real campsite but some of it is made out of paper.  The campsites are for literacy block.  In Camp Read a Lot, it is dark so we have to use flashlights for reading!

Ants, ants, ants



We read a book about ants.  They have 3 body parts.  They are the head, thorax and abdomen.  They have antennae, too.  They can pick up heavy stuff.  If we were ants, we could pick up an adult!  Some ants have stingers. We learned that ants talk with their antennae.

We used Haiku Deck again.  Everybody had to finish it today.

Tomorrow we are going to pop a balloon!!!!!  There is a secret message in EVERY balloon.

Here is a sample of our Haiku Decks :) Enjoy!

We Need Plants!
