We have been watching the Peregrine Falcons in Winnipeg and have been generating lots of thick questions. We don’t have all the answers to these questions so we have decided to write them down and see if we can start to find the answers.

Thursday evening post your question on the blog. Anytime on Friday or after please feel free to answer your question or a question another student asked. To answer the question leave a comment or reply to the comment where the question was written, so we can keep the questions and answers together. Keep checking the blog for the answers and don’t forget to contact community resources to help you.

Have fun watching the falcons!

As you know, yesterday was our 100th anniversary celebration. There were many activities and you were involved in most of them. Your inquiry projects all turned out great and it was neat to see them set up in the hall with all the other classes. The Fast Facts kept people guessing and hoping they knew the answers. I would like you to write a paragraph or two about how you feel about everything that went on, now that it is over. Talk about your inquiry project and what it was like to participate in such a large event that only happens every hundred years.

Our 100th anniversary celebration is coming up next and all the students in grades 3 and 4 have been demonstrating just how well they can work as part of a group. We will likely spend some time each day until next Wednesday working on finishing our projects. Students are encouraged to bring any supplies they need from home and communicate difficulties with their teachers. I hope you can all join us next Thursday, not only to see the great projects but to also watch our dances through the decades.

Today a scientist named Jamie came to show us the benefits of washing our hands with soap and water. We conducted two experiments which allowed us to see that just washing quickly with water is not enough. We also talked about when we should wash our hands and where we find germs.

Comment on this post and explain a bit about what we did for the experiment, what the results were and what you learned. You have already written a paragraph in French so this can just be a short summary of what you wrote.
