PHEASANT UPDATE

2M - the pheasants in Mrs Cassidy's classroom have hatched!
You can read all about this exciting event and view a movie of some of the hatchlings here!

How do the baby pheasants compare to the baby kookaburras we saw on the movie we sent Mrs Cassidy's class? Are there similarities? differences?

Tell me about your observations in a comment.

THE WAIT IS OVER!

There was much excitement as we came into our room this morning.
We all couldn't wait to find out what was in the package that Mrs Cassidy's class had sent us.
Before we opened the package, we all tried to guess what it might contain.
We looked at the package, we felt the package and we also looked at Mrs Cassidy's blog to see if there were any clues.
Some of us thought there might be a picture inside. Others thought a flag. We were amazed at what some of the teachers thought it might be!!
Most of us though were convinced that it was a book.

And we were right!

Mrs Cassidy's class have sent us a beautiful book called 'A Prairie Alphabet'.

This book helps us learn about the part of Canada where Mrs Cassidy and her class live.

It's already become one of our favourites.

We are so lucky to have such wonderful blogging friends.
THANKYOU MRS CASSIDY'S CLASS!!

LET'S CONNECT!

We have started the week with the great news that Mrs M was able to skype Mrs Cassidy in Canada on Saturday morning.

They talked about how both classes can connect more with each other this term... and here's one way - by each of us buddying up with a member of Mrs Cassidy's class.

We already think of Mrs Cassidy's class as our blogging buddies but now we each have someone in her class to buddy up with and get to know better.

Today, when we went to the Library, Mrs M told us who our buddy was and we introduced ourselves by leaving a comment for them on their blog.

They are still on holidays so we hope they get a lovely surprise when they go back to school tomorrow.

REFRESHINGLY COOL!

Our blogging buddies in Canada made something for us.

On a day like today, when it was 32 C, we felt cooler just watching.

It was nice to imagine we were there with them.

If only we could....

THANKYOU MRS CASSIDY AND GRADE 1!

MEET OUR BLOGGING BUDDIES

Last year, when some of us were in 1M, we became blogging buddies with Mrs Cassidy's Year 1 class in Moose Jaw. We'd leave comments on their class blog and on some of the children's pages too.

Those of us who are new to Mrs M's class don't know where Moose Jaw is and we imagine that those of you who are new to our blog are also asking "Where's that?" So here is a map Mrs M made last year.

You can see where we are on the map.
Click and drag with your mouse to find out where Moose Jaw is.


Did you guess CANADA?
Well, you are correct!
Mrs M told us that Mrs Cassidy and her class have been eagerly waiting for us to return to school so that we can start blogging and learning more about each other. They have still been at school while we have been on holidays.

Today when we looked at their blog, we learnt something about them.
Not all of Mrs Cassidy's class was at school today because it was MINUS 49 DEGREES!!!
We can't imagine how COLD that is!
Read all about it here.

We discovered that our temperature was 29 degrees ABOVE zero and the temperature in Moose Jaw was 49 degrees BELOW zero.
CAN YOU WORK OUT THE DIFFERENCE IN TEMPERATURE?
