Bridge Stem Challenge
Students worked on a building
challenge this week. The challenge was to construct a bridge that could hold as
many "spiders" as possible. Students got into groups of 3 and designed their
bridge before they started working. They had yarn, 4 cups, small blocks (spiders) and tape as
materials. Students completed the
challenge and as a whole group
Halloween
Next
Wednesday is Halloween! At Ken Taylor school it will be a regular
learning day…with an opportunity for some Halloween fun learning as well.
Students can bring their Halloween costumes to school and will have a chance to
change into them after lunch
Here
are some key points to observe:
- Students, who
choose to, can bring costume to school in their backpack in the morning
- Students will go
to their classroom after lunch; teachers will take attendance and then
students can change into their costumes
- Please keep your
child’s costume simple - something that they can do themselves (i.e. no
makeup - save that part for when they go out in the evening)
- Pleasant, fun
costumes please - no violence - no blood/gore
- Masks are okay
as long as student can easily see through them for safety
- We will have a
costume parade in the afternoon that
will have all students moving through the Embassy to view the Pumpkinella
contributions supported by our School Council
- Students
are welcome to bring an additional (special) afternoon snack as
after the costume parade they will be invited to have their special snack
and do some fun ‘Halloween Learning’ (i.e. we are not having class
parties)
Pumpkinella
On Wednesday October 31st, if students choose to participate students
will have the opportunity to bring in a carved or painted pumpkin. The students
will be able to see all the pumpkins on display in the Embassy during the
Costume parade in the afternoon.
· Please drop off your pumpkins in the Embassy upon
early entry, in the morning
· Please label your child’s pumpkin as we will return
the pumpkin back to the child at the end of the day to take home
· Please do not send any gory or scary designs
· Please send pumpkins with battery powered tea lights
