Stanley Park

Today our class went to Stanley Park!  We walked ALL around Lost Lagoon - 2.5 km!   The weather was perfect and everyone had a wonderful time!  We should all sleep well tonight!!

Looking at all kinds of wildlife!

We saw some beautiful swans.

After lunch, we went down to the beach!  We dipped our toes into the water and looked for all kinds of "treasures".

Collecting water!

Some of us were just happy digging in the sand!

 A couple of children made an Inukshuk to say "We were here"!

Banana Smoothies

We had lots of ripe bananas last week so we decided to make some banana smoothies!

First we cut up the bananas.  We practiced using knives safely.

Then we put the bananas and the rest of our ingredients into a jug.  Our ingredients:  bananas, yogurt, milk and vanilla

Next the adult turned on the blender and we "whizzed" our mix together until it was smooth!

The smoothies are ready to enjoy!

Mmmmm!  They were good, AND  good for us!

Sports Day

Friday, May 15th was Sports Day.  Here are our memories of the day.  
Before we wrote, we talked about what grade one writing should look like...

-we need a good beginning, middle and end
-we use details to make our stories interesting and so the readers can "see what is happening in their heads"
-we put our ideas in order
-we have capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods at the end
-we have spaces between words
Boy, that is a lot to remember!!!
Enjoy our pictures and stories.

 

 

 

Little Gardeners!

We are starting our own garden in our classroom.  We planted some flowers and some vegetables. 

First, we get the soil. 

Working together, we fill our pots.

We plant beans...

and carrots.

Some of the seeds are so tiny!

In they go!

Look!  After only a few days our plants started to sprout!

Our classroom is filled with plants!  They are growing fast!

These are beets

This is arugula!

Guess what these are???  I will give you a hint....  "Fee Fie Foe Fum!"

We can't wait to try some of our vegetables!!
