We have been looking at plants and how they get what they need to survive. Below is a link to a PowerPoint presentation we used to guide our learning this week. Feel free to go over it and ask questions of your child!

Next week is the last week of Alien Inline skating. Brace’s students go on Monday and McIntosh’s go on Tuesday. Boys and girls have been doing an amazing job of showing our class motto: “I CAN TRY!”. We will go back to a regular gym schedule starting the following week.
Permission forms have gone home for our upcoming trip to the Leighton Art Centre (June 11). For this trip there is no room on the bus for volunteers, you will need to arrange transportation there and back. If you are able to volunteer please let us know. We will give parents who have not been on a fieldtrip this year a chance to come but we will still need 2 per class. Thanks to all who have helped out this year, we hope you enjoyed the volunteer tea last week!

Hi Parents
It sure has been a busy exciting month. We were involved in many building activities. We built the 3 houses of the
3 little pigs – the straw house, the stick house and a recycled (brick) house. We built bridges using different materials and
we build two towers as well.
As architects and engineers we learned so many things such as:
- spaghetti is not a very strong material
- a triangle is a strong building shape
- a house needs a strong foundation, walls that are the same size and a roof
*Thank you so very much for sending in a variety of materials for us to explore with, we had so much fun.
We will be using our knowledge to build a community soon and would appreciate it if you could send any empty boxes
that you may have from crackers, Kraft dinner, cereal, etc.
We have begun our science study of the needs of plants and animals. We had a wonderful trip to the zoo and have started
to research an animal that we are interested in. Thank you very much to the parents who were able to join us at the zoo.
We have also begun our scientific experiment with plants and are very excited to see how close we are with our predictions.
We planted bean seeds but we chose to try different environment for our seeds:
- soil, water, and sunlight
-soil, water and no light
-water and sunlight
- water and no sunlight
-sunlight, no water or soil
In math we are continuing to play a variety of addition and subtraction games to build our skills.
We are really enjoying our in-line skating ! ☺
Did you know there are only 29 days left of grade one?
Reminders
