Today we learned about the legend of Nian. He was a monster that appeared each New Years Eve throughout China. Students drew their own dragons and wrote facts about Nian. The dragons they made will help keep Nian away (he hasn't been spotted in over 4000 years)!
In Science we took a glass of snow and measured the temperature. We have noticed that as the snow melted the water level has gone down. We have also noticed that the snow was -11 degrees when we stated but climbed up to over 10 degrees.
Tomorrow we say farewell to Elbow Park. They will be beginning school at their old/new school next week. We will miss them at lunch hour, after school care and during special events. We wish them well in their new building.
