Trip to the Water Festival!

We had fun squirting water into a generator.  We liked pouring out the gunk into bins.  The bumps and talking on the bus was extremely fun.  Halle enjoyed sleeping on the bus.  We enjoyed racing and learning about recycling.  Running down the terrifying hill was great!

We learned that some toilets use more than others.  We learned we should conserve electricity and water.  We need water to survive.  Plants and animals need it to survive too.  We should care about the water and not pollute.   It is very easy to litter in water which pollutes it.
 
In Ontario there are some Hydro dams.  Inside the pipes the water makes turbines turn.  That makes electricity, just like we made electricity.

We drank to cups of water.  One was tap water and the other was bottled water.  Most of us liked the tap water best.  We learned that tap water is very controlled and has a high quality.

It was better than school!

First Writing Assignments

This year we began with a writhing assignment where students were required to write about something that they are an expert on.  In this post and others I will display this assignment.

Trident, by Aeriel
My hamster Trident is funny and smart.  When I feed him he takes the food runs around his cage and eats it.  He has red eyes and a dark brown stripe on his back.  His legs are white and his chin is white and the rest of him is brown.
