Earthquakes

We wrote stories about 'Earthquakes' and what to do in case of an earthquake. We choose Silvana's story and she had to read it to the class. Well done, Silvana! :-)

Comparing weights

We choose an object and predict whether it will sink or float in water. We placed the object in a bucket with water and observed what happened. We placed the items that sank in one pile and the items that floated in another pile.

After we have finished testing our objects we discussed the results using the following questions:
• How many of our predictions were correct?
• We looked at the pile of objects that sank and the pile that floated and described them. We talked about if they have anything in common with one another.


In a follow up activity, we cut out pictures and stick them on a scale to show and compare heavy/light. We were able to justify our answers.

I ♥ my teacher - by Summer

Today I gave my teacher a picture and wrote her a message. I did this because I love her and she helps me with my work. I like my class and I am happy.
