Here is a collection of photos taken by the students of their completed Architek builds. Architek is a super fun and challenging game that helps children learn to focus, problem solve, explore concepts of angles and perspective, as well as other concepts such as force and its application in simple construction. It's a Défi math game that is also used in upper grade levels accompanied with their math text book so you will see it again at some point! Students have their own tracking sheet so they may cross off each completed building challenge and as they progress, they get increasingly difficult! They love the challenge and the excitement that comes with placing the last block on their towers!

We had a great nature walk this past Friday! The weather was not the best but the rain the day before made for a very fun adventure in the mud! We learned some great things from the volunteer guides and also just enjoyed the walk in the forest. Click here for the full album on our school's Facebook page!
We had a lovely day at the Agriculture Museum yesterday. Our workshop was a great mix listening and participating and we certainly learned a lot, adults included ;) The museum was full of fun attractions and animals, we explored the grounds after a nice picnic lunch.
Our plants are doing really well and we are all eager to transplant them outside! Now for the weather to cooperate!
This week, we were invited to participate in a butter making activity with the MYP students. We learned that butter is a dairy product and watched a video about how it's made. Then it was our turn to act as the churning machine and make butter ourselves. It took a lot of effort but it was worth it! Fresh butter on toast for everyone at the end! In both English and French, we have discussed the life cycles of plants, bees, frogs, butterflies and chickens. We have lots more to discover such as dinosaurs, lions and crocodiles (all animals the students asked to learn about!).
