Can Food Drive

The Fantastic 8, our sustainability club, has a mission for the school: Envision a world without hunger. École Robert Browning is hosting a can drive for Winnipeg Harvest. Bring your canned foods in to school. We'll collect them until Friday, October 31.

Les 5 sens/The 5 senses

Yesterday, Mme. had a popcorn maker and a bowl hiding underneath the table. Then Mme made us use our senses to figure out what was underneath the table.

4 - We thought there was paper or glue under the table.

9 - It was hard to know what was under the table, because we couldn't see it. 

5 - We had to turn around and use our ears to listen. 

15 - We could the smell the popcorn being made. 

12 - We touched the popcorn. It felt squishy. 

11 - We got to taste the popcorn.

     

Bus Ridership

Bus driver Bob helped us review bus safety. Here are a few things we learned and talked about:

The buses have safety tools in case they get in trouble. 

We learned some of the bus rules, like sitting down in our seats and no eating on the bus. 

We practiced how to emergency exit.

Glue and pastel leaf Art

We have been doing lots of great activities to celebrate fall (automne). We have been sorting leaves, writing about fall and doing some cool Art projects too!  See below for some of the neat projects we have made the past couple of weeks.

T.I.A.

We had our first Learning Through the Integrated Arts this week.  Our class is working with visual artist Mme Broughton. We used clay to make balls. We had to make 10 rows with 10 balls in each row. That's 100 balls! Check back in a couple of weeks to see what we are going to do next time with all the balls we made.
