Our visit from Mr. Byrne

Today we were visited by Mr. Byrne who is an OPP officer. He came to help the children understand what his job as a community helper is. The students were fascinated by all of the items he carried on his belt and had many great questions for him. Thank you again Mr. Byrne for taking time out and coming to visit us. We truly enjoyed your visit.

Our old cassette player.

The children were excited to explore our old cassette player, they wanted to take it apart and continue to examine it further.

What is it?

The students were interested to explore the new item on the table this morning. Responses to the question What is it? Varied from radio to piano. The students were interested in pushing the buttons and investigating the different spaces on it. Later in the day we added a cassette and headphones. They were interested in trying to figure out how everything works and to hear it play. Who would have thought the tape recorder would be an unknown item. Stay tuned as we explore further.

Reminder - Book Orders

Just a reminder that Scholastic book orders are due this Friday!

Response to the story Press Here

Today Mr. Fields read the story Press Here. There were lots of patterns in the story which the children were able to identify and extend. Our program in P4.1 Math, states that the students should be able to identify, create, reproduce and extend repeating patterns through investigation, using a variety of materials. The students are finding patterns in books, creating their own and extending patterns in their play.
