The World Around Us

 Mckenzie has been continuing to work on his globe for Social Studies.  Paper mache work takes a long time.  But now at least we're entering the stage where we can put some of the geography things we're learning about into the globe.

While he works on his globe he often listens to an audio book.  He recently completed the first Lord of the Rings book and now he's on to this one.

Here are his paint chip book marks that he has used as a visual reminder of the books he's read since September.  This includes a couple of audio books as well.  He feels really proud of himself that he's gone through so many books this year.
 In Science we're still working on Electricity but we're moving on from circuits and more onto the idea of resources and how we use and harness electricity for our day to day lives.  Below is a drawing of how electricity gets to our home.  Before doing this we read all about it and then he took a bike ride to look around at the neighbourhood and the power lines and power station nearby.
 We also took a closer look at how water is harnessed into electricity.
