Paper Maché Flower Frames!

Shhhh.... We have been working hard on our Mother's Day presents: Paper Maché Flower Frames!

Thank-you to our Art-expert, Shirley, for showing us the tricks or the trade!

First, liquid glue and water were mixed with toilet paper to make a gooey texture. 

Next, we filled the empty flower template with paper maché. 

Then, we let the paper maché dry for 2 weeks. 

Last, we painted our flowers, taped our pictures, and put a hanger on our frames. 

Here is an example of one of our frames: 

Because it was a Mother's Day present, we wrapped them up to keep it a secret! 

Of course, every present needs a card. Here are a couple examples of the cute cards that we made! 

Mothers and Grandmothers, we hope you love your present! 

Happy Mother's Day! 

Love,

Fishing at Green Timbers!

Thank-you Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC for teaching us all about fishing! We had a great morning learning a lot! 

Our first lesson: How to Cast.

All smiles this morning!

 Getting ready to get our own fishing rods to cast:

Here we go!

Oops, that one went in the tree...

This isn't his first time fishing... (He is quietly and patiently waiting for his catch.)

Although the fishermen around us were catching Trout, this is about as close to fish as we got...

Such a beautiful day for being on the water!

Thanks again to our amazing (grand)parent volunteers! They not only drove us but they were superstars when our hooks got stuck in trees, tangled amongst one another, and when the hooks came way too close to each other, they calming jumped to the rescue to ensure we had no injuries! :)

Thanks again Freshwater Fisheries Society! 

Love,

Exploring our Environment!

This month our Big Ideas are focused on our Environment. We will be busy with exploring the outdoors hands-on, learning about different features and behaviours that help living things survive in the environment. 

Here are some pictures of us looking for living and non-living things in our own school backyard. 

Can you tell if these are living or non-living?

Happy Learning!
