This week, we began our first unit in Science, which is all about ecosystems. We started off by reading about how ecosystems are made up of living and non-living things that interact with one another. To reinforce this idea, we broke up into groups and created a tableaux (frozen scene) of an interaction that could occur in an ecosystem. Then, we used the app Skitch and our school iPads to label the tableaux pictures. Here are a few examples of our work:
Today, we explored the forest surrounding our school and made observations about the organisms we found there and the living and non living things we could observe interacting with these organisms. After we finished our observations, we played a quick game of camouflage in the forest just for fun. Jack proved to be the best camouflaged this time. Well done Jack!
