Geodesic dome

We made a geodesic dome out of newspaper. A geodesic dome is a structure like half of the giant golf ball at Epcot center.  We rolled newpaper to make tubes and cut them to two sizes 63 cm and 71 cm.  We then stapled them together in a pattern like triangles and stars.  The joints got to fat so we had to start taping.  We had to put a broom in the middle to hold it up.  We accidently made the base to big and had to add a few more rolls. We had to put lots of tape on the joints to make them strong and look for week tubes and taped them to make them stronger.  It was hard but fun!!!

Grade 3-4 J

Welcome back!

We are off to a great start with our new school year.  We have many new faces in 3-4 J this year, here is a video of all of them and their favourite summer memory!!

 

Fossils

Fossils are made from old things that lived a long, long time ago. We made them from yucky stuff and put a sea shell, leaf, or a twig in a cup. Then we let them dry for a day. Then we tried to get the object out of the cup. But only some of us got the object out. The people that didn’t get it out had to wait a day until Mrs. Johnston finally got it out. When it was done we put more yucky stuff in it and waited another day to dry it. Then we got the 2 kinds of fossils apart. We had lots of fun.

3-4 J Rocks

Today we are studying rocks and minerals.

Rebecca’s grandparents came to tell us more about rocks and minerals. There were stations. One of the stations were when you hade to take a ceramic plates and take any kind of rock and scratch it to see what kind of streak it made. We had a station that you had to see if the rock was Limestone. If it was Limestone it would bubble. Another station was is when you take a magnefine glass and see all the different types of minerals in the rocks. Rebecca’s grandma came around and showed every body real gold.

And there was this rock that if you sit on it it will break into little tiny pieces. There also was a station that it was carved into cool shapes so that it turned into necklaces.

There was a station that you could see all kinds of different medicines. Most of the rocks were called igneous, metamorphic, sandstone, and limestone. We learned that sandstone comes in layers. There is also a station that you check the hardness of the rock. If you tried scratching a crystal it wouldn’t leave a scratch. Some rocks were geode.

Rebecca’s grandparents have lots of rocks in there sheds and there basement. They found the rocks in a tunnel.

We hope you enjoyed reading this blog.

By for now.

This is Mrs.Johnstons 3-4 class Arctic centers

 

One of the Arctic centers is called Arctic food some of the food is Narwhale, caribou, and berries, and that food is for then. Some of the food that is for now is pizza, bread, fruit, chicken, fish and more. The next center was modern houses and we painted them all different colors. Another center we did was Inuit people now and-then then the clothing in the past is caribou skin and today is material. One type of work in the past was hunting and today, one job is a teacher. In the past there homes were igloos and today homes were a home with stilts. In the past heat and light was a oil lamp and today’s heat and light is electricity. In the past they

traveled with a dog sled and today we traveled with an air plane. Another center is called Inuit language the common language of the Inuit in Inuktitut. Another center was called Inuit clothing. Almost the whole class had to wear a amauti. We learned about Inuit transportatation.

ROCKS!

Rocks are fun to learn about! You can build any thing you want to build. We are studying rocks. All rocks have a special story. There are rocks everywhere. We love rocks because we rock. Rocks have minerals and minerals are ingredients of the rock. We took one rock and wrote a sentence about what our rock looks like. And took a toothpick and we took a cookie apart and found the ingredients just like minerals are the ingredients of rocks!

3-4J ROCKS!!!

Our Inukshuks

We were studying the Arctic.  Our class have made inuksuks. First we measured area of the rocks in cm2. Than we measured the perimeter. Then we weighed the rocks in grams. Than we put them together and glued them with the hot glue gun.  An Inukshuk shows you the way.

Igloos

Hello! Guess what we made? An Igloo!!! The igloo is made entirly of milk cartins. Is'nt that cool? Here are the instructions on how to make an igloo out of milk jugs. 1. Place a big peice of cardbourd on the floor. 2. Get a hot glue gun to glue the milk jugs together. 3. Glue 29 milk jugs in a circle on the cardbourd. p.s. We need a big space for the door. 4. For the 2nd row glue 28 milk jugs on top of the first row. Don't forget to trace the first row. But make it a bit smaller. 6. Always make the igloo a little less big. 7. On the fith row put milk jugs all a round so the igloo will have a square door. 8. Add one milk jug on the last row of the igloo. The top jug is called a king block.9. Add an archway to the door to make it look like an igloo. And to keep the heat in.and that is how you make an igloo. p.s. We havent got an archway yet so please bring milk jugs.
by: Kamryn and Meadow
Update:  The igloo is done!!!! We are done collecting milk jugs!
