On Monday, May 12th,  2014, a lady named Sarah came and talked all about plants and their parts. The inside of the flower is called a pistel and around the pistel are the stamen. There are petals around the stamen. We also made paper. The paper was made with newspaper that we put in water and after put it in a blender and blended it. When it was blended we put seeds on it and let it dry. When it was dry, we were able to take a piece home and plant it.  We also did a crossword puzzle after we did two centers. The first center was making paper. The second center was all about plants and after, we smelled different kinds of foods from plants and guessed what they were. We also looked at a leaf underneath a microscope.  It  was awesome!

In science we are learning about simple machines.  Science is my favorite subject because we get to build levers, pulleys, gears, wheel and axles, screws, wedges and inclined planes!! We build the simple machines with K’nex and once we are done building we put them in the hallway and everyone gets to see what we built. We all got to build one wooden model.  Some got to build a plane, a pick up truck, a sailboat, a wagon and a tank, but I chose the wagon. I really enjoy the building we do in Gr.4!!!

 

In Science we are learning about simple machines. Right now we are working on the lever. We started building different kinds of things with K’nex that have a lever. My group is doing a seesaw and a balance. Some groups are still doing a wheel and axle. We did wheel and axles before we did levers.  I enjoy building.

A lady named Jenny Ellert came to the Grade 4 class and talked about insects and spiders. I had never seen so many dried insects that she brought in.  Jenny showed us some diferent bugs on the Smartboard.  She told us that some bugs help the plants grow and other bugs destroy the plants.  She even showed us some bugs on thin sticks. 

My favourite part was where we got to see the bugs in the case she brought in.  I have never seen some of those bugs, but some I did see.  She told us what the bugs were called and what they do to the plants.  Jenny works on a farm and sprays the fields if they need it.  If it doesn’t need to be sprayed and she has gone all the way around the field, she can go home.  I really enjoyed the presentation.
