A Cool Day!

A Cool Day!

No, I am not talking about the rain. We just had lots of fun today. The students performed their piece for the Remembrance Day ceremony and it was amazing!!! The students did a really great job. Then, as we were working on our Remembrance Day paragraphs, we heard bagpipe music. Thinking that there might be a real bagpiper in the building, we went searching for the source of the music. Sure enough, we found the bagpiper who was practicing for Friday. He showed the students the parts of the bagpipe, played a couple of tunes for us and let the students hold the bagpipes. I told the children that the bagpipes used to be used by the Scottish to send messages from one village to the next like our modern day telephone.

Then, for science today, we did an experiment where students tested the stability of a variety of different objects. They learned that for an object to be stable the base must be larger than the top. The taller the object, the wider the base. They also learned the three F’s: Form follows function which is just a fancy way of saying that the shape of a building must follow its function. A firehouse for example should be a much different building than a bookstore as a fire house needs to have different things in it.

It was a very exciting day and time flew. One of our students brought little kittens for us to see as well. The students were very excited to pet the kittens.
