Rain, Rain, Go Away...

Well, the rain ruined our day. We were supposed to head over to Sturgeon Heights today to compete in a divisional track and field meet, but that's been postponed until next week. We also lost our recess time outside because it was pouring, so Mrs. Waters put on some 'Just Dance' videos! We had a lot of fun!
Thanks to Ms. Burland and Mrs. Lockhart for telling Mrs. Waters about that website! We love it!
Indoor Recess?
Time for a little dance party!
If you come for a walk in our hallway, you'll see our latest (and probably final) bulletin board. We've been studying Canada's Arctic, and we've been especially interested in Inukshuks and the Northern Lights. Mrs. Waters brought out some pastels and drawing paper, and let us create our own 'aurora borealis'. We added Inukshuks after, made out of black construction paper. We think they turned out great! Our bulletin board has an explanation what Inukshuks are and why they were created, and the science behind the Northern Lights.  We also wrote a pretty awesome poem about Inukshuks! Check it out!
Our latest bulletin board- Aurora Borealis & Inukshuks!

Mrs. Waters DOES NOT like the mess that pastels  make...
...but LOVED the final results!
Each piece of art is unique, just like real Inukshuks!
FUN FACT:
'NORTHERN LIGHTS' IN INUKTITUT IS 'ARSANIIT'

Our poem we wrote as a class about Inukshuks
