Esprit Academy

We have begun our unit on fluids, water cycles and earth science. Learning about density, and properties of liquids was our STEM theme for Tuesday afternoon. Everyone had a great time experimenting. The school was a bit of a disaster by the end of the day, but I was told by one student but Jan we are science’ing and learning so much so the mess is worth it! He knew exactly what to say! It was worth it in the end!

This morning we discussed how the plague spread through the world in the Middle Ages (lots of current issues were linked to the discussion). We played a plague game to see how long we could survive as traders travelling from city to city. Due to current conditions with our own pandemic we ensured that everyone washed their hands before and after the game, and wore gloves while playing. Everyone agreed that although our current medical knowledge may not be perfect, it is way better than it was in the past!

A busy week for sure. Discussions about ‘The Crusades’, extracting strawberry DNA, great trips to the ravine, and making abstract sculptures. We are ending the week with indoor gym playing hide and seek throughout the school with all the lights turned off.

Happy international puppy day! Wrinkles celebrated by giving love and helping with some math!

We are off on March Break this week, taking a much needed break. Last week we had a great time and worked hard.

A great Monday! With recess at the ravine and Drama in the afternoon. We have 4 days left before our March Break. We are going to enjoy every one of them!
