Tremendous Thursday!
We began the day with a special
commemoration for the Humboldt Broncos Hockey Team. We learned how communities
all over Canada and all over the world are helping to show their support to the
families and friends affected by this tragedy. We also had a moment of silence
to remember those who lost their lives.
When we returned to class we wrote a
pre-assessment for our upcoming writing unit about how to write a persuasive
advertisement.
Next we had French and then Gym.
After first recess and lunch we had music.
When we returned, we learned more about
measuring using centimetres and metres. We made a list of various objects we
could measure using centimetres (examples: bird, pencils, crayons, shopkins
etc.) and objects we could measure using metres (yourself, a car, steel rod,
the length and width of a white board). We then worked in partners measuring
various objects using centimetres and metres.
Next we went over to Ms. Smith’s class to
check out their summative project. The students made dolls associated with
their culture and even dressed themselves up just like their dolls!!!
After second recess and lunch we did an
experiment to better understand how the height of a structure affects its
stability. We used three tubes (small, medium, and tall) and we tested which
tubes fell first when we created a mini earthquake. As scientist, we made our
hypothesis first and then performed our experiment three times. Check it
out!!

We came to a better understanding of how
the stability of a structure is affected by the height. So taller structures
can be more unstable than smaller structures and therefore there need strong
materials and a good foundation to remind strong and stable!
At the end of the day, many of us got seeds
from the Grade 6 exhibition group so we can plant a tree. What an incredible
way to help our planet! Great action Grade 2’s!!!
