Fresh Air Friday - Food Chain

Today we started with centres and watched a short video on herbivores, omnivores and carnivores. Then we joined Room 1/2 to compare our amaryllis plants. They are both growing like crazy, but ours is a bit behind. Some of us are predicting that Room 1/2's plant will bloom next week! We left our amaryllis plant in the Room 1's south facing window, so hoping it will be a good growing weekend!

Together we brainstormed about what kind of animals live on Nose Hill and then discussed what herbivores, omnivores and carnivores need to eat to survive and which animals would be in which category. Then Mrs. Boyer, Mrs. Hamby and Mrs. Armour went over how to play the predator/prey game and handed out red, yellow and green pinnies. Ask us what colour we were and what we could "eat."

After indoor recess, we all went outside to play. The three teachers were "Mother Nature" and we had to look for the "food/water" (pennies) stations hidden in Whispering Woods. It was really fun. Some of us learned being an animal (especially a herbivore) is hard work! We learned that being "stealth" is really important in survival.

A couple more people achieved 6 stars and were able to choose something from the Star box. Our marble jar is almost full - we are shining stars!

We are still collecting things for "Fill a Sock" campaign until Wednesday - please check the school website for more details

Have a great weekend!
