 Dear stupendous families,

This week:

* In STEM we did puzzles on the iPad that were about Holi. Holi is a celebration in India, where you crush up flowers and put it in the air it turns into colourful powder like magic. For the puzzles you can choose easy, medium and difficult.

* In Science we have being doing an experiment with pennies. We put vinegar on the pennies to see what would happen. There are different kinds of pennies (American, Canadian, Singapore, old pennies, shiny pennies, dirty pennies). Some of the pennies turned blue, some turned green, one turned grey, one turned yellow and most of them turned rusty. Most of the shiny ones turned non-shiny. Some of the pennies left marks on the paper towels they were on.

* In gym we played Zombie Tag, Dungeon Ball and Angry Cats. We also practiced throwing and catching and moving to an open space.

* In Social Studies we are making book about the Inuit Culture. You can pick your own title. Most people are on rough copy and some people are on good copy. You have to do four or more pages about different topics.

* This week we got two postcards. One was from Ohio and one was from Delhi, India. Today we are sending seven postcards because we have only sent 30 and have received 35. We need to send more to get more.

We hope you have a fantastic weekend!

 Dear fantastic families,

This week:

* We have working on our Inuit books. We made a title page. You are also going to make four pages or more with facts about the Inuit culture. First you do a rough copy and then you do a good copy.

* This morning we had a dance party with colourful lights. The songs we had were "Happy" and "Can't Stop the Feeling".

* In gym we played Zombie Tag, Cat and Mouse and Octopus.

* On Wednesday we got a new student in our class. He came to us from India.

* In STEM we made Lego for 100's day.  We also made stuff with snow in it. For example, we could make a snowman or a mountain out of Lego. Ms. Bell was going to read us a book... but she forgot and gave it to a kindergarten student!

* On Tuesday the grade 3 students started learning about division, while the grade 2 students went to a presentation in the gym.

* In Math we made a graph about people's favourite ice cream flavours.

* In Science we learned about the difference between chemical changes and physical changes. In a chemical change you can't change it back. For example, you can't unbake a cake. In a physical change it stays the same. For example, if you chop wood it is still wood. OR... if you break a window it is still a window.

We hope you have a wonderful weekend!
