Koala Lou and Louis Play The Djembe.

On Wednesday Koala Lou and Louis and our class went to the gym and played the drums with an African man named Fule Badoa. The drum we played was called a djembe. The top of the Djembe is made out of goat skin. The bottom of the djembe is made out of a special kind of wood. Our favourite part was playing the djembe. It made a lot of loud noise.

Windmills

Hi grade 2s and Maple,

Yestrday we had Scientist in the school. We had some activities about wind and water. I will tell you guys 1 activity. It was about windmills. We made windmills there. There was 5 colours of paper Blue,Pink,Green,Yellow and white. The peace of papers was for the place where the wind blows. And we used toilet paper rolls to stand them up. And when you blow the paper part it would move quickly. I learned that Windmills make Energy for lights,computers and other stuff.

Water wheels

Hi Mrs. Sawyer's class and maple

Yesterday we had scientist in the school. We learned about water and wind. My group was in a very fun group. We made water wheels out of Styrofoam plates. After we were don we tested them by putting it on a stick and pouring water on the water wheel and the water wheel moved. We learned how to make water wheels and that they grind weet into flour. We had a lot of fun and I hope they come back next year.
