At the end of Convocation, Ms. Elliot's and Chin's classes challenged our class to a skipping competition and we took up the challenge. Lara came in second overall. Well done Lara!
The children then participated in an active gym class with Mr. Browning. Back in class we had our weekly spelling tests and worked on some speed drills. Spelling tests are coming home today.
After lunch we worked on our inquiry into light. Today we wondered how light helps us to see. We turned the light off in our room. We were amazed at how much our eyes could adjust after awhile but we could not make out the colour of objects. The children deduced (thanks to some knowledge supplied by Jessica), that light bounces off objects and then into our eyes. Objects that reflect a lot of light are usually light in colour and objects that reflect little light are darker. The children were given seven items. They made a prediction about the ranking of these objects and then used a flashlight to test which objects were the best and worst reflectors. Jewel made a connection to our inquiry unit on safety last year when we learned that we need to wear light or reflective clothes when doing activities outside in the dark.
