We began the day writing in our M.E. We are writing a story about our science topic Energy, and the fact that all energy comes from the sun.  The students wrote about the journey of a beam of light from the sun to earth in some form then back to space.  It could be beam of light - absorbed by a flower - a bee drinks the nectar - makes honey and wax - someone takes the wax and makes a candle - the candle is lit by a little girl on her birthday cake - the light travels through a window and back into space.   We watched Bill Nye the science guy episode on light while the students worked.

The students worked on their spelling words for the week filling out the worksheets to rewrite, unscramble, correct mis-pelled, find missing words, add endings and middle bits.  This weeks words focus on oy and oi, initial ch sounds and endings s, es, ed, and ing.

After recess we went tot he computer lab and worked on Power point projects on energy. The students created a little moderator character to explain facts about renewable and or non-renewable energy.  The students copied a sentence off the internet then found a picture to illustrate the point and their character summarized the information (put it in their own words)

In the afternoon the grade 3's went to swimming lessons at the Esquimalt pool, the grade 4's were split between Mrs. C and Mrs. T.  Great job at the pool everyone.
