They have begun a unit on frogs and they made a list of all that they knew about frogs: One child knew that frogs use their eyes to help shove food down their throat. The kids then did some frog - painting by using tory frogs dipped in paint and put onto paper lily pads. They ended their week by watching the video "Frog goes to dinner today." The Grade 1.'s have started "Air Adventures". They explored moving paint with air from squirt bottles. eye- droppers and straws. They made pin wheels and spirals to detect the movement of air. The Grade 2s continued with their egg unit and tried .an experiment called. "The Shrinking Egg-. The kids put an egg into corn syrup and left it for 72 hours. Guess what" The egg shrunk 1 cm. They tried another experi- ment called "the sinking and floating egg- They put salt into the water with an egg in it and the egg was to float. However. the egg didn't float so Mrs. Vivian figured they must not have used .enough salt. A challenge was•given for the kids to see if they could drop an egg from the top of a ladder and not break it. The kids could use any material from the classroom to make some sort of equip- ment that would protect it from breaking. The kids worked in groups and most of them used some sort of basket and parachute idea There were no broken eggs. Mrs. Crocker took the Grade 4 kids for a walk in the woods to measure trees. They sketched trees. made bark rubbings and measured the height of trees by using a pencil. If you want to know how you can measure a tree with a pencil. ask any Grade 4 student in Walton.
