We will be going skating tomorrow and leaving the school around 10:15. Volunteers please arrive in the class at 10:00 to help students get ready.
We had a busy day experimenting and creating today. In the morning, we tested using different materials / ways to keep an ice cube frozen. The longest time was a couple of hours! We compared which methods were more effective and why. Next week, we will try the experiment again to see if we can change our methods and increase the time.
In the afternoon, we did printmaking for the first time by following these steps:
1) Draw a simple design thinking of the Acadians - boat, lighthouse, plants, crab, barn, horse
2) Cut shape using foam.
3) Stick foam on cardboard.
4) Choose colour(s) and use the roller and / or paintbrush to paint on the foam
5) Wipe away an extra paint
6) Press white paper on foam & cardboard
7) Gently peel paper from the cardboard foam
