The Potato Cafe

Mr. Mallinson's class planted some seed potatoes way back in March. Our class was lucky enough to observe the life cycle of their potatoes over the last four months. Yesterday, the potatoes were harvested and you wouldn't believe how many potatoes they dug out of the ground.

 

Today, a few students from Mrs. Singh's class helped out Mr. Mallinson's class by cleaning the potatoes and boiling them in the school's kitchen. After recess, we transformed the library into "The Potato Café" and enjoyed all our hard work and effort.

 

Prior to opening our café, we discussed table manners and etiquette and came up with the following expectations.

 

 

We also worked on some creative "potato" stories, while we waited patiently for the potatoes to cook.

 

 

After the potatoes were prepared and cooked, we walked into the library to find it looking like this...

 

 

We waited patiently for our table numbers to be called to taste the fresh and delicious potatoes that we had grown.

 

 

Mr. Mallinson and Mrs. Singh served the potatoes with all the fixins.

 

 

 

Mmmmmmm, yum!

 

 

 

 

The verdict is in....

 

 

Thumbs Up! The potatoes tasted awesome!

Don't worry! This little classroom blog is still up and running. Things just seem to be flying by and our schedule has been jammed packed with so many end of the year events and celebrations. So I'll let the photos do most of the talking.

 

The weather has definitely improved, so we have been taking advantage of the warmer afternoons with some outdoor quiet and buddy reading opportunities.

 

 

Way back in May, our school celebrated our version of Rodeo Days which coincided with our local Coverdale Rodeo.

Some of our school rodeo events included the Rootbeer Chug,

and the Marshmellow Stuff.

 



 

While all these fun events were going on, some of us managed to relax in our western gear.

 

Other events included Clown Face Painting

 

and the Bubble Gum Blowing Contest.

 



Western Relays,

and finally, our favourite, the Chuckwagon Race!

 



 

One of our recent Math units focused on statistics and probability. We constructed and interpreted concrete graphs and pictographs to solve problems.

 

Here are some silly photos from one of our activities called:

 

I "Mustache" You A Questions

 

 

 Our most recent Math study focused on measurement. Here we are completing a measurement activity which included measuring our head, hands, legs and feet with our favourite unit of measurement.

 

 

That's a quick look at just a few of the things we have done over the last month. Unfortunately, I was unable to take any photos of our school's Sports Day. I would love it if someone would be willing to share their photos and post them on our blog.

 

Don't forget that tomorrow is our Parent and Volunteer Appreciation Tea.

We hope to see all of you there to say "Thank You" and show our appreciation for all your help and hard work this year.
