Carnaval 2!

With the help of some brave parents, we had a very successful "Carnaval 2"! We had 4 stations: icicle tag, snow building competitions, obstacle courses and ice castles. In groups, we rotated through all 4 centres and then went inside for some hot chocolate. The kids had a lot of fun! Please ask them what their favourite part was!


Yesterday we did another experiment involving water. We tested various materials to see if they would float. The scientists had some very thoughtful predictions about why they thought some objects would sink or float. They considered weight, size and their own experiences swimming. The most interesting test was probably the orange. Ask your scientist what we discovered about unpeeled vs. peeled oranges.

Finally, we have a newly made set of math games. Here's a neat one in use during free time. Each popsicle stick has an addition or subtraction question and the answer to another.

Happy Weekend!
