Highlights of the week:
We explored the force of gravity with a pendulum we made with a paper cup and yarn. We think the final art work looks like a cherry blossom tree!
This week, we started on a new inquiry project with the Grade 2s. We've been designing our own marble run and our goal was to transport a marble from start to finish in 5 seconds!
On Japanese Cultural Day, we got to see real ninjas perform and try the tools they use!
