In the Primary class with Carla and Kris this week, the students have been learning about three parts of speech (articles, adjectives, and nouns). The students are representing each part of speech with a different colored pyramid. Diagramming sentences in a fun way!
Students were outside learning about centrifugal force with Carla and Heidi. The students had a bolt tied to the end of a rope. The students were the Sun and the bolt was the Earth. The students twirled the rope in a circle very fast, centrifugal force. When students let go- wheeeeee! No more centrifugal force!
