Having Fun Trying New Things in Room 12

After experimenting with sugar dissolving in science, many of us had questions about sugar and where it comes from.  This week we took the time to explore our questions.  We learnt that making sugar is a long process.  We also got the chance to see a real sugar cane and taste it.  Did you know that you just chew the sugar cane like gum, you don't swallow it?  Most of us really liked the taste.  It was sweet!

Mrs. Havixbeck dropped by our classroom on Wednesday to read us "Falling For Rapunzel".  It is a hilarious book about a prince, asking Rapunzel to throw down her hair, but instead she throws down crazy things like her underwear!  It really got us laughing.  Thanks for coming to read with us Mrs. Havixbeck.

To finish off our week, we got to build boats.  We were each challenged to build a boat out of plasticine that could float for more than 10 seconds, while holding 10 or more marbles.  It was a challenge, but we had fun doing it.  

Next week we will be having a pyjama day on Wednesday, February 25th.  Wear your pyjamas so you can snuggle up and read you favourite book in House Groups that day.
