Nice hand Tasha!

Walking Competition Underway!

Big White Community School has begun a promotion to see who will walk the most over one week.  Over the next three weeks students will take good care of a GPS receiver that records both their position and speed.  From that data we will be able to tell who is walking and/or skiing/boarding the most.  Good luck everyone!

Listen to the Walking Competition Advertisements below!

Happy Valentines Day! Poems Published!

After some serious work all morning... We celebrated Valentines Day with some fun activities and a catered party!  Thank you parents!

Also... we have recently completed a study of figurative language! As a fun way to share our poetry we devoted some time in creating mini-movies in 'Stikz' format.  We hope you enjoy these 'Love Poems' as much as we did making them!

BTW:  Listen for examples of simile, metaphor, alliteration, onomatopoeia, personification, hyperbole and understatement!

Science due tomorrow (Grades 6-9)

Good work on the figurative language this week!

Some Science (Big Buck bonus for telling me tomorrow what type of figurative language that was)

Science on the mountain happens in interesting and varied ways...  especially with six grades!

How long will it take for the water to boil? Will being at over 1500m above sea level have an effect?

Why is the blue stuck in the top? will it reach the bottom?

Thanks for the static charge Evan!

The water is attracted to ebonite rod substitute! Why?

What will happen when concentrated sunlight meets a drop of water on a penny?

Evan found even distribution very quickly when the warm blue was on the bottom...
But when the warm blue was on the top... we are still waiting!

Ask a Grade 4 what happened to the water!

These Grade 6s learned how different bird beaks are suited to picking up different types of food.

Whoa!  Boiling at 80 degrees celsius?  

Poor Grade 5s... not their day for a lab :(
