Our field trip to the Nature Knowledge Festival at Surrey Bend Regional Park was a highlight of the week for many of us. We loved exploring the different stations and learning about adaptations and survival of local plants and animals found in local wetlands. Neil from BCWF Wetlands introduced us to wetland invertebrates and how to identify them and Lynn from Friends of Semiahmoo Bay shared how birds adapt physically in order to survive. We also learned about different animal tracks. We loved spending our afternoon outdoors in nature…and were reminded of the importance of protecting it. We’ve been exploring fractions over the past few weeks and have developed a strong conceptual understanding in the process. This week we used what we know about fractions in art! Our task was to create a picture using small squares and to then describe different fractions. What fractions can you see in our art? Since September we’ve been developing our inquiry skills in Science. We’ve learned to ask questions, make predictions and find answers to those questions by conducting our own experiments in class (a perfect example was our plant experiment: “how does darkness affect plant growth?”). Science Fair is an excellent opportunity to apply these skills, so several of us participated in our school Science Fair…and had loads of fun sharing what we learned!
