April 29 - May 3
This week we went on a science field trip to Telus Spark. One of our favourite things was the bed of nails. We thought it would hurt but it didn't. We also got to drink out of a toilet that was actually a water fountain. They had an exhibit about the circus and you could dress up in costumes. Some people could also walk across a tightrope but we didn't have time to try that.
There was an area of the science centre that looked at electricity. There was a spot that you could send Morris code through wires. There was also some houses with wires and you had to connect wires to the houses from the electricity poles and the goal was to light up all the houses. Some people found an exhibit where you could shock yourself when you put two fingers on metal plates to complete a circuit.
At Telus Spark we started learning about our next Science Unit, Simple Machines. There was a classroom at the science centre where we. We learned about the 7 types of simple machines and then we built a machine with wheels, axels, cams, pulleys and the power came from us. We even noticed that we have simple machines around our school because in music our ukuleles have screws and gears to tighten the strings.
In class we have been practicing our lines for our assembly which is next week. Our assembly is all about 9 different countries from around the world. We have been practicing our scripts and trying to memorize our parts as well as speak with confidence and expression.
In Math we have been collecting data and using it to make tally charts. We have been making conclusions about our data using words like most or least. Finally this week we are going to try and make a pie chart using our tally charts.
