This week the students completed their posters on how we use natural resources and presented them to the class. We learnt about how animals and plants are used as food, as well as to make clothing and other things. We also looked at how natural resources are used not only to make things, but to power our world as well, using both renewable and non-renewable resources to do so.
To end the week, we went on a gallery walk around the tables in the class to look at pictures of different environmental problems from air pollution to landfills and oil spills. As the students moved around to look at the images they stopped to write down what they could see, think and wonder. We will dive into these topics in more detail next week as we continue to inquire into how our actions affect the Earth’s resources and people.
In PE, we continued working on skills with balls such as dribbling, passing and catching through some new simple games like a variation of dodgeball.
We also practiced a bit of running for the Sponsor Run which has been rescheduled for next Friday, May 26th. Hopefully we have better weather in the forecast next week!
