Another Smarter Science idea

A second experiment was about surface tension. We tested how many drops of water could fit on a coin.  After this teachers wanted to try different sized coins, different shaped coins, different countries coins. Again, it's all about inquiry and students exploring. 

You can google "Smarter Science Ontario" for more information. 

Smarter Science

We have been learning how to get more hands on learning happening in Science a along with increasing the amount of inquiry to develop innovation and creativity. Here teachers are doing different experiments.  One was milk with four drops of food color (different colors) dropped apart near center of dish. Then a qtip dipped in dish soap was touched in the center of the plate. Students make predictions, talk about their observations and confusions then may come up with different variables to test. 

Remembrance Day

We observed Remembrance Day early as we are off now until the 13th.  We had an assembly where we read a poem, listened to the last post a and observed a minute of silence for past and present veterans. Finally, we watched a video called Highway of Heroes. Grade 5/6 made this display.

ENGLISH IMMERSION CAMP

A group of our pupils is now in Pueyo de Jaca living a great experience: We are here with a group of students from Galicia and eight native teachers, some of them are from Canada and the group that organizes the camp is called " Red Leaf". Is this familiar to you? This is an amazing place in the mountains, near France. Have a look ...

When we return to Zamora we´ll explain more things but we are enjoying this camp a lot, and learning a lot of english.

HALLOWEEN

Hi everybody. 

During this week we are celebrating  HALLOWEEN through different activities.

Here we saw an example. Our pupils drew different Halloween characters and we used them to write HALLOWEEN.

A NEW EXPERIENCE IS COMING UP

Exchange experiences give participants an all-access pass to discover and explore a new culture. 
Intercambiar experiencias da a los participantes un acceso total a descubrir y explorar una cultura nueva.
By learning a new language in this way, not only we discover the culture, but we also  have the opportunity to meet new friends. 
Aprendiendo una nueva lengua de este modo, no solo descubrimos la cutura sino que también tenemos la oportunidad de conocer nuevos amigos.
Sharing experiences and activities through  this project between Canada and Spain is a great chance to get to know ourselves better.
Compartir experiencias y actividades a través de este proyecto entre Canada y España es una gran oportunidad para conocernos mejor.

Thanks everyone and welcome!
Gracias a todo el mundo y bienvenidos!
