Mr. Collins in action! Today the class continued their work on the Novel Approach, and shared their findings with their fellow students. The class thought about how to plan for a Pizza Party, and how they might do it using French; and then in Math, they brainstormed their own rules for solving addition and subtraction problems with integers. After lunch, the class focused on Science: the grade 7s finished up their home-made motors made from magnets, copper wire, and batteries; and the grade 6s made "Blubber Gloves" to learn how humans can think like animals to adapt to new, extreme environments. Finally the class settled the day by looking at their poetry, and deciding which they would like to share with each other in the form of a book. Today was a trove of delightful learning!
