Sunflower Class Week 3-Art and Science

-
We had a wonderful week at Summer School! We started our week with some games and ice breakers to get to know each other.


We had fun using salt, baking soda, vinegar, glue, and food colouring to make some science art!





We did a mini Unit of Inquiry this week! Each team chose some aspect of Art and Science to research and explore. We had three groups and they chose Anime, Vegetables, and Dolls. Each group researched using books and the internet, made slides or posters about what they learned, and took some kind of action. One group made comics, one planted cucumbers, and one attempted to make a doll! Each group tied their inquiry in with Art or Science in different ways.










The best thing about Summer School is having so much time to play games! We played a lot of games every day and had a blast!















We had fun with Art and Science by making magic art! When we put the art in the water, cool colours appeared!









Thank you for a great week at Summer School!
-Ms. Stacy.

Kindergarten in the summer

 Boy oh boy, it was a lot of fun seeing familiar faces as well as new faces during summer school. This year we had a lot of help from Alex, a student in Junior high.  We have a K'nex set in the classroom and Alex and a few of the students were able to put together a working carousel out of it! It was really cool. Summer school wouldn't be  summer school without drenching ourselves with water. In this kind of heat we had this year, it was a lot of fun to fill up our water gun tanks and have a blast. Our second week of summer school was built around fairies and fairytales. Both Pre-K and Kindergarten came together to work on making their own castle tower craft. It was a lot of fun throughout the week. I look forward to next year. Thank you to all the kids, especially those that joined us from outside the school. Hope to see you again next year!

Theme: Fairy We read Fairy Tales and did related activities everyday this week. On Monday and Tuesday, we read “The lost Fairy” by Peter Haddock Publishing and did a fairy coloring. Each of them used their favorite colors to color it. On Wednesday, we read “The three bears'' by Byron Barton and did a bear paper craft. They put some clothes on their own bears. On Thursday, we read “The Snow white” in Japanese with Ms.Yuka. We made our own dwarf. It's so cute!! On Friday, we read “The Gingerbread Man” and made our own gingerbread man. We spent our time with Preschool students every morning this week, It was very fun! We also enjoyed Water play. On Friday, we did “Juice bar” with Ms.Aya. We made our own juice. (Using paint to color water and pretend it is a juice.) Strawberry juice, Orange juice, Mango juice, Grapes juice and so on…..looks so good!! We really had a great week!
