Maple Syrup Taffy on a stick! Yummy!

My favourite thing was when I went tobogganing.  I went with Kaelan, me, and Stacy, and Dante but he fell off the toboggan. – Eric.c

I liked when we put maple syrup on a stick. It was so sticky when we ate it. Sofia

I liked when we made the maple syrup on the stick and then we made it into a sucker. Kaelan

When we were at the Festival de Voyageur it was lots of fun because we tried taffy on a stick. Dante

I loved when we played checkers in the sugar shack. Maddox

I liked when we made the taffy.  There was a special table made for snow and then they took the taffy and poured it in a straight line and waited a minute. Then we put a popsicle stick horizontal in the taffy and rolled it onto the stick. Then you have a taffy Popsicle. Ronelle

I liked when we went to the horses. There was a big cart and everybody went on it and the horses pulled it. There were 3 carts and 6 horses. Our horses’ names were King and Bonnie. Ally

I really liked it at the Festival de Voyageur because I had a lot of fun going down tobogganing tower and sliding across the snow on the toboggan. I liked ice maze and the horse ride. In the ice maze I went with Ally, Ronelle and Katie. There were a lot of dead ends and right beside the entrance there was the finish spot. We were pulled in a cart by horses. The two horses’ names were Bonnie and King .Bonnie was on the right and King was on the left. Cecilia

My favourite part was when we went on the horse ride. The two horses’ names were Bonnie and King. It was really fun when they went fast but it was more safe when they went slow. Also I loved when we went tobogganing on a toboggan. I went on the toboggan with Sofia and Heidi. It was so fun because there was a humungous bump and I almost fell off. But it was still fun. Jessica

I liked the part when we got to go down the slide things!  It was so much fun and I loved the sled. – Katie

SS Research

The grade 3’s are doing Egypt and the grade 4’s are doing The North. –Heidi

We had to look in books to find our information. –Heidi

We are almost done yeah! A lot of people need to do more things. I need to answer one more question to be done. –Sofia

Some people are learning about mummies. –Heidi

The North’s play practically all the games as us like snowmobiling, golf, dog sledding and more, but I forget there is a game called high kick. You can play on one foot or two, it sounds interesting, you have to have good balance. –Katie

The North’s cool. –Ethan

My final project is a brochure, it’s going to be so fun and so awesome! –Sam

Did you know the highest mountain in Nunavut is 2,216 meters high. –Katie

I am in grade four so I am doing The North, so far I have written about 25 jot notes all together, but that’s only half way! I can’t wait until we all share our projects! –Sam

Grade 3’s do Egypt, grade 4’s do North and other ones. –Stacy

Grade 4’s are doing The North which is NWT, Nunavut or Yukon, grade 3’s are doing Egypt. –Katie

I am doing Egypt and I am learning about mummies, that was my first question I wanted to answer, I forgot the second one the third one was what games they played.  I also have a fourth and fifth question. –Eric C.

We have almost finished researching in books and we’ll be starting to research on the computer. –Lauren

I am learning about Egypt. So far I am learning about pyramids in Egypt. –Kaelan

Soon, we’ll not soon, but coming up soon is presenting our research and there’s lots of ways we can present or show it like making a slide show. –Lauren

The grade 4’s are doing North! And the 3ers are doing Egypt. We use open questions and not closed questions! –Khang

When you learn about the North you research all of your questions that you have made and then when you are done you make it into something like a brochure. –Ally

I wanna tell you something I learned, that in Egypt where the house’s were there was only one street. –Jessi

We write everything down that we see and put it into jot notes and we write the book that we used  into our bibliography.  –Ronelle

We are learning about Canada’s North. –Ethan

The project is almost finished about The North and Egypt, and when we are done,  the final project we can choose to make a book, poster board and brochures. –Frances

We are working with books right now but next week we will go on the computers. –Frances

We researched in books about Egypt or Canada’s North, we all had so much fun. I am doing Canada’s North on Nunavut. One of my questions was, how did the North change? –Cecilia

Mrs. Kosolowski made us look in books to find out what we were going to learn about next and it going to be about habitats. –Heidi

I hope we do some games with habitat’s. –Heidi

I hope we learn about frogs. –Heidi

We used our problem solving partner’s and walked around the school. –Cecilia

This is a very great topic to learn about in science! It will be a BLAST! –Lauren

This is our new science unit and I can’t wait to start!! Mrs. Kosolowski did not tell us what it was we had to figure it out! So she made this scavenger hunt that goes all around the school. It was so FUN! –Lauren

We had to go on a science hunt to find out what we were doing for science. –Kaelan

I love science. –Ethan

Frogs live in ponds. –Ethan

I was the first one to figure out what we were doing next in science. It was so awesome! What we had to do for science was go around the school finding clues to what we were doing next so ya! –Sam

We did not learn a lot yet. But we did go on a hunt to figure out what we were going to learn next and it was habitats! The hunt was awesome, we are going to do more stuff about habitats but not right now. –Sofia

We got to learn about our next science topic! We had to go to all these classes and figure it out and there were all these little pictures and when we were done we put all of them together and it was habitats. –Ronelle

I am going to tell you the pictures we had to find on the scavenger hunt around the school. There was grassland, an ocean, lakes and that’s all I remember. –Eric C.

For science habitats we searched for clues and they had to do with math questions, at each classroom  there was a blue paper and a white paper. The white papers were pictures of the deserts, grasslands, lakes & ponds, ocean, forest, rainforest, arctic and mountains. –Stacy

Habitats: Grasslands, Ice, Forest, Rainforest, Mountains, Desert, Ocean and Ponds. –Mitchell

There is this lizard and he is poisenest, I don’t know the name of it but if he jumps on you or something then you are probably poisoned! – Ally

This is how we first learned about science habitats, we had to do some sort of scavenger hunt with our problem solving partner around all the school, then we got all the pictures and glued the pictures and finally we found out that in science we will learn about habitats. –Jessica

We use our math partner, but mine is Sam! –Khang

We had to go around the school and find clues for what it is with our problem solving partners! –Frances

The giant crab is 4m high, 1.2m long and can weigh more than three people. –Katie

Pyloplys is a type of fish that has antennas. He hides in the day time and puts them out in the night to catch any passing food. –Katie

Chair Challenge - The Start

Creature Sharing

We did it in the meeting area and the presenter sat down in front of all of us and read their writing well we were drawing and when they were done they showed us their creatures. –Frances

My creature is coloured and I have a border and I can’t wait for the presentation. -Khang

What creature presentation is, is when one person is telling you what to draw and the others are drawing, at the end of it you show the picture that you drew, but the class can only us pencils and the person who drew can us pencil crayons, when your done you will give a kind compliment. –Rhian

I can’t wait until I get to share my creature; my creatures name is Clio it stands for: Creative! Lucky! Interesting! Outgoing! He is adorable, I can’t wait! –Sam

Everyone’s creature is awesome because after presenting they show their creature. The way our presentations work is Mrs. Kosolowski picks someone to go present and that person sits on Mrs. Kosolowski’s chair by the meeting area and starts reading. My creatures name is BOB, it is stands for Big, Old, Blob. –Lauren

We did our creature presentations, ya! –Ronelle

We have to write a kind compliment at the end. We had to be silent. –Heidi

My creatures name is Baby, Boo-Boo. When we presented we all had to be quiet. –Frances

The only thing you could say was can you say that again. –Heidi

We would read are descriptive sentences out loud to the class and after that we showed our drawings. –Heidi

You have to tell people what to draw to make your creature. –Mitchell

We had to try to draw the creature the way the person made it and everything was a surprise. –Heidi

Lots of people have done it and it looks really fun and so far everyone’s creatures are so unique! –Sam

For creature presentations we do mystery creatures and we give it names.  We drew creatures and we wrote sentences for our creatures. We do a group presentation then a whole class presentation. –Stacy

It was awesome, only a few of the people where done doing their presentations. –Sofia

My mystery creatures name is Nedward. – Ethan

For our mystery creature presentation we went and sat on Mrs.K’s chair then we said our lines and then when you were saying it they tried to draw it and when you are done and everyone else is done you reveal the creature .  Some were very surprising. – Ally

I thought I would be nervous but I wasn’t when I sat up on the chair but most people didn’t understand mine. – Derek

I didn’t present yet but I did do a lot.  My favourite presentation was Ronellle, her name was Buffy. – Jess

I did my creature presentation, I think I was the fourth or fifth to present. –Eric C.

When some of the kids in my class presented I had to try and draw it when they explained it. – Kaelan

For mystery creature you read your page in front of the whole class and they have a little box to draw in and if you need them to repeat you just put up your hand!  When they are all finished they show you their creature and you can see if your really close or not, then you give them a kind compliment on the lines below.  They are really awesome! – Katie

For the mystery creature presentation I was first and what you had to do was when it was the first time we were in small groups and you presented your sentences and once everyone was finished drawing what they heard from the sentences you would show your mystery creature. When we were in big groups which was the whole class we had to do the same thing except with the whole class and it was super exciting to be the first one to present my mystery creature! My mystery creature’s name was CHAAD with two A’s, he is so, so, so cute. – Cecilia

Testing Chairs

Our chair worked both ways, feet up and down with your feet.  It was so fun because we get to experience new things! – Jessica

My chair didn’t work when I put my feet up but when they were down it worked.  It was more stable when my feet were down. – Kaelan

My partner was Maddox and when we presented our chair it kind of worked, but when we had to sit on it in different positions, down it went. – Lauren

Our chair worked because it had triangles and could hold us up with feet and without feet. It had to hold Jessica, but it held both of us. – Derek

For chair testing we had to make a chair out of newspaper and masking tape and it needed legs.  For our chair Sofia and me were partners. – Stacy

It was fun testing it.  I brought the chair home!  My partner was Sam. – Khang

My partner was Katie.  Katie’s and my chair worked. – Ethan

For our chair testing it was suppose to hold my cause I was lighter, that’s pretty much what everybody did but anyway it was able to hold Ethan to, then you and your partner had to decide who got to take the chair home.  If nobody wants it you had to recycle it. – Katie

When we were done making the chairs we got to test them. – Ronelle

When we were chair testing my partner was Kaelan.  We had to see how long we could sit on it for.  My chair only held till number 1 and then KABOOM, CRASH, BANG, we couldn’t do it. – Ally

When you got your chair you test it, the chair is made out of newspaper, you or your partner got to keep the chair, if your partner tells you, you can keep it or you can put it in the recycling. – Rhina

I got to sit on the chair! It passed with feet down and it passed without feet and it could go for a really long time! – Ronelle

My partner was Dante. I sat on the chair but it did not work, it  only worked when my feet were on the floor. – Sofia

My partner was Eric D. When we went to test the chair before the actual test Eric D. tried it and broke it. Well Eric D. wanted to try it. – Eric C.

For chair testing my partner was Mitchell.  We used problem solving partners.  I think me and Mitchell got 3 out of 3.  Mitchell got to take the chair home but I didn’t really care about taking the chair home besides it would probably break at  my house. – Cecilia

Chair Design

My partner was Derek. Our design has arm rests and our chair totally passed! – Jess

My partner was Aden for the chair testing.  We had to sit on our chair in front or the whole class and Mrs. Kosolowski would mark us. – Frances

We used lots of triangles to make them.  We also used newspaper and tape. – Mitchell

My partner was Ally. – Kaelan

I made my chair like a camping chair. – Kaelan

Mrs. Kosolowski said that we had to put triangles in our chair. – Kaelan

I made the legs and Katie made the seat and arms and back. – Ethan

The chairs had to have triangles, it was part of the criteria we came up with. – Ethan

We used a lot of tape and newspaper. – Ethan

My partner was Khang, he is very good at co-operating.  We made a comic chair. It doesn’t have a back rest so more like a comic stool!  It has to be made out of newspaper and masking tape so we covered it in comics so it looked better! – Sam

We had to draw out the design on a paper first and then we had to write who would sit on it. – Heidi

We were in our problem solving partners. – Heidi

Most partners were boys and girls mixed together. – Heidi
