Science with Hokey Pokey

We are learning about change in matter and using the scientific method during our experiments. This means asking questions (wonder) forming hypothesis, doing experiments, observing, collating results, forming a conclusion and forming more questions. On Friday we looked at Hokey Pokey, what it started as, finished as, and observing the change over the course of the experiment.

Learning how farmers are trying to help keep our Lakes Clean

Last week we had the privilege of having one of our parents (Brendon Conwell) come in and talk to us about how farmers are trying to save our lakes from pollution. It included how pollution gets into the water and new ways of maintaining their farmland to be more friendly to the environment. It was a great afternoon with good learning happening that tied really well into our water inquiry topic
