Diwali and Rangoli art

On Friday, we learned about Diwali. Sanjeev shared with us how his family celebrates. We ended the day by creating our grade-one version of Rangoli sand art.

Halloween party

 What a fun afternoon!  Thank you to the parents and grandparents for volunteering your time to help us with costumes and to all the families who sent party food.  We loved sampling the taste of pumpkin in the delicious pumpkin dip. It was a great way to conclude our investigation of pumpkins.

Skittles math

 We practiced how to collect and record data using Skittles.

Pumpkin art

 I just love how these pumpkins turned out. First, we drew the pumpkins with pencil, then outlined them with Sharpie. Then, we used oil pastels to colour and shade the pumpkins and watercolour paint for the sky and grass. We have received numerous compliments as people walk by the bulletin board. Way to go, 1S!

Pinecone investigation

 We discovered that a pinecone holds the seeds for the evergreen tree. A pinecone closes when it is wet and opens when it is dry.  We had fun dissecting the pinecone and looking for the seeds. We have planted the seeds and already have one sprout!
