Jeremy's Experiment -- to walk around the school with my pedometer

I started at a particular spot, at the front doors.
I walked at the same pace to go clockwise around the school.
It said 960 steps.

My prediction was 40 steps more than I walked.
I felt glad because it was a lot of steps and my estimate was close.

It was fun walking around the school and looking at my pedometer.

My Pedometer

Today I plan to walk around the school to measure how far it is around the school. I predict that it will be 1000 steps to go around our school. I think that because inside the school I walk 500 steps, so it will be bigger than 500 steps outside.

Pedometers from Canadian Space Agency - Great Fun

Today we received a pedometer. Everyone in the class got one.
We put our names on each pedometer and tested them out.
Some people went to the office and back (77 steps).
Others went to Mr. Lloyd's room and back (75 steps).
Another student went to the Library and back (84 steps).

We will do more experiments later today.
It was great fun!

TOO MUCH NOISE IN THE COMPUTER LAB

In the computer lab the keyboard goes click clack click clack. When you turn one the computer it goes snap. When you press the buttons on the mouse the buttons go click, click, click. When Makenzie pulls the chair out she says to much noise! So she goes to the wise librarian and says there is to much noise in the computer lab. So the wise librarian said go get a noisy group of people. Makenzie went and got a noisy group of people. But the computer lab was still to noisy. She went back to the wise librarian and said the computer lab is still to noisy. So the wise librarian said get some music for the people to dance to. But it was still to noisy. Makenzie went back and the wise librarian said get ride of the music and get ride of the noisy group of people. So Makenzie did that. But when she tiped the keyboard still went click clack click clack. When she pressed the mouse it still went click, click, click and when she turns on the computer it still goes snap!

Sounds at the P.R.P.S Outdoor Center


Inside the center

Birds singing,
Crickets creaking, creak, creak,
Wind blowing wish, wish.

On the rocks

Different birds talking,
Bees buzzing, buzz, buzz,
Wind going throw the leaves whoosh, whoosh,
Chipmunks chipping, chip, chip, chip.

Children Playing

Flipping,
Talking,
Hitting,
Yelling,
Reffing.

Tomato Sphere


The grade 2/3 class is doing something called tomato sphere. It is really fun planting tomatoes. We got the tomato seeds in a letter from the Canadian Space Agency. It is a project to see if tomatoes grow in space and maybe on the planet Mars. I hope the tomatoes will survive on mars.

Perth Road School yard from our lens


This is looking West from our school. These maple trees were planted by the Garden Club at Perth Road Public School. Right now they do not give us that much shade. In the future they will give us shade.














The rock that these students are sitting on is at the East side of our school. The rocks are part of the Canadian Sheild.

June visit to the school yard

.

Two kids from our class are sliding down our slide. Only two people can go on the slide at once because if another person goes, the person could hit somebody.











Iris on the North side of the school. The Garden Club planted many flowers for us.
