By Sandy Mastin | December 15, 2019

Professor Sjaarda, a scientist from Queen’s University paid a special visit to our class. We revisited our prior knowledge of States of Matter while engaging in some awesome experiments. As Professor Sjaarda taught us about sublimation, we got to observe the process in action. We also got to see some really neat chemical reactions when …

Genesis in Action

Recently our class had the pleasure of visiting Ripplebrook Farm near Napanee, owned and operated by Kevin MacLean.  Mr. MacLean was prepared and excited to share his farming experience with us. Students learned about all the responsibilities a farmer has in taking care of his animals. Mr. MacLean has 130 dalry cows and calls each …

By Rebecca Snoek | November 22, 2019

We have recently started a new social studies unit about our local community.  To help the students better understand the idea of citizens and local leadership, we took a field trip to City Hall. Before our tour we took opportunity to explore Confederation Park, a worthwhile outing for us all.   During our tour, we …

Fulfillment

By Rebecca Snoek | November 18, 2019

We have been enjoying learning about the life and times of Moses in Bible class.  This week we talked about the ten plagues and about the Passover. Yesterday we were able to participate in a very basic version of the Passover meal.  It was a very sensory experience for us all to see how the …

We Remember

By Rebecca Snoek | November 11, 2019

Today, after much preparation, conversation, and thought processing, our class was honoured to lead the Remembrance Day assembly.  I was very pleased with the respect our class, and the entire student body, showed as we remembered veterans and those affected by war. To close our assembly, each student placed a poppy on a cross. In …

Mixing Matter – The Chocolate Chip Cookie Experiment

By Sandy Mastin | November 3, 2019

As we come to the conclusion of our States of Matter Unit, students apply their knowledge and make hypotheses regarding the mixing of solids, liquids, gases, and the application of heat in baking chocolate chip cookies. Students quickly observed reversible and irreversible changes that took place: The flour and sugar went through an irreversible change …

A Walk in the Park

By Rebecca Snoek | October 31, 2019

This week we wrapped up our mapping unit with a mapping walk.  The students were put in small groups and given a map from school to a mystery location in the nearby community.  They had to remember and use what we learned about proper mapping, and they had to work together to make sure they …

Outside Learning

By Rebecca Snoek | October 22, 2019

This past week our class had the joy of taking a field trip to a local conservation area to  practice our mapping skills.  We have learned about and practiced directions, landmarks, symbols, and orientation.  This was a chance to put our learning into practice in a real life situation. As with most field trips, however, …

Public Speaking 101

By Rebecca Snoek | October 4, 2019

Today was the launch of our show and tell.  Our theme this month is “Map.” The students did a great job of showing creativity and being well-prepared.

Matter Matter Everywhere – “For in Him we live and move and have our being.” Acts 17:28

By Sandy Mastin | September 29, 2019

Grade 1/2 students have been exploring “States of Matter”. We used our bodies as molecules to demonstrate how molecules make up a solid, liquid or gas.  Our bodies moved close together as we became a molecule packed solid. We moved farther apart as we became liquid to experience how  molecules flow and move more freely. When …
