Castles and 100 Day
Castles As we move towards the March Break we have worked hard to finish our research project on castles. The students have been using library books and we have been watching videos about the life in castles. In their research reports (which came home March 8th), the students wrote about who lived in the castles, what they ate and the role of knights. They enjoyed making catapults and several groups created successful catapults. In order to have a successful catapult, they had to create a structure to support the spoon.

The shields include their favorite natural object(s), favorite activity, favorite shape and favorite animal. The background was to be their favorite colours. 100th day of school The 100th day of school (more or less) :) The Friday before the break, we celebrated 100 days at school. We
