This Week's Science and Art

This week, the students continued to work on the terrarium. Each child selected a plant to be placed in the terrarium. Then they had to draw their plant in their log book along with the name of their plant, which they looked up in various books provided by Ms Pat. The students took turns in groups placing the gravel, sand and soil in the terrarium, along with a water container.
Then each student placed their own plant in the terrarium with help from Ms Pat....

The result is a gorgeous terrarium that sits in the classroom's Rainforest Lab. The students are looking forward to adding animals over the coming weeks. Everyone is wondering if it will be tadpoles, a turtle or a type of lizard.




In Art, the children applied a "wash" made of diluted paint over a drawing they had colored. The results were beautiful and original.
