This Week at School!

Off to find cattails with our older buddies!

We need to gather the cattails first to make mats.

We read some books about Jackson Pollock.................

............we decided to try his techniques and make our portfolios.

We went on an alphabet nature walk. "I" is for insect trail.
"E" is for eggplants that we grew in our garden.

"H" is for hole!

We explored and looked closely at leaves on our new light table.


Our class was collecting petals and leaves to dry with Mrs. Hlady's class.

WOW! Such vibrant colours!

Gathering and sorting our petals by colour.


Here is the rhubarb we grew and tasted. We discovered our rhubarb was quite
 hard and will need to be picked earlier next year!

Beet leaves we tasted that came from our vegetable garden.
Chopped the vegetables for our soup!

Adding the vegetables to make soup.

How delicious our soup tasted that everyone tried!
Carrot cake that we also made with our carrots!


Icing to top the cake! Our class ate our cake outside after our Terry Fox walk! It was delicious!
