Armour

Sedimentary Rock Experiment: we took sand and filled it in a cup.  we then poured an epsom salt solution onto the sand.  we let the mixture sit for 3 days.  we then peeled apart the cup and uncovered some lose sand and some "rock" particles that had formed.  students separated rock particles from loose sediments!  this experiment showed students how loose sediments (sand) with the exposure of 'weathering and erosion' (salt water solution) can create a rock - sedimentary rock!

Geo-Sculptures

Students created geo-sculptures out of marshmallows and toothpicks as we wrapped up our unit on Geometry in Math.  We learned that creating structures from these resources was not as simple as it seemed.  However, the students did enjoy the building and exploring phase and here's what some of the structures ended up looking like. 

Medival presentation!

On Monday we will have an amazing medival presentation at our school for our grade 4 students.It is called 'blades of glory' and is an interactive presentation about midddle ages, one of the social studies we cover this year.The cost per student is $2.00.We appriciate your support and look forward to sharing the enjoyment of this experiance with your children!

Sincerly,

Ms. Virji's Class!
