Telus Spark field study (#2) - March 18th

The students walked to Telus Spark for two sessions, plus some exploration in the centre and the playground.  The sessions were on machines (with a focus on cam systems) and on making a play with shadow puppets.  We also explored some ground floor exhibits and the "Brainasium" outdoor play area.

Remembrance Ceremony - November 9, 2018

Image
We have no photos of the ceremony, as it is a solemn one and photos aren't allowed.  Our grade fours did a wonderful job performing "Please Wear a Poppy", a fairly long poem that explains why wearing poppies is important.  We were very proud of the job they did, and how well they represented our school.

Making Crab Apple Jelly - September 2018

Image
Making Crab Apple (or Crabapple) Jelly was a great time!  There were many steps.  First we gathered donations of apples / crab apples, but we needed to get some more.  Some of the donated ones were rotten because we didn't have enough refrigerator storage space.  We went on a field study to find an pick apples around the neighbourhood. Then we prepared the apples by cutting out any bruised or rotten bits (sometimes just getting rid of the whole apple), and taking off the stem.  For larger apples, we cut out the core. We boiled the apples in some very large pans of hot water, and put them through a sieving system with some cheesecloth.  This drained overnight. The next day, we had a parent volunteer help us.  Thanks so much to Kirsten!  We had delicious juice, but now needed to boil it, stir in a whole lot of sugar, a bit of lemon juice and some pectin to help it set.  All our jars had to be boiled so that the jelly could last for a longer time in the jars without going mouldy.
