Where does the rain go?

This morning we started with a little bit of center time because our big buddies were going to Nose Hill and couldn't meet for our buddy time. After that we came back to our work about human impacts in Whispering Woods and our human impacts posters.  We had originally planned to hang the posters up around the school but we noticed that students don't always seem to pay attention to posters so we decided that we need to do some presentations. We worked with our groups to make a script and then we practiced our presentations. Next week we will practice a bit more and then go to different classrooms to present.

After we were finished our scripts we moved on to our outdoor investigation for today. Our investigation question today was: "Where does the rain go?". We went outside with maps of the area outside the school and looked for signs of water and looked to see where the rain is going.


Here are the things we noticed:



This investigation is the beginning of some new work we will be doing as environmental scientists to explore our water and the ways that humans impact the water cycle and the water in our city. Next week we will have a chance to meet with people from Yellow Fish Road to continue this work and to start learning about ways that we can help protect our waterways.

Please remember that we will be starting our Nova Scotia dioramas next week. If you have not already brought a shoebox please be sure to have one by Tuesday.
