Saint Nicholas Day, a fun-filled scavenger hunt.
Their mission was to work with their partners from Grade 4, 5 and 6 to find the various clues hidden around the school, these clues led them to the final destination, where they could claim a special prize from the mystery teacher.
Natural Phenomena
Working on the same Google document, the Fiery Foxes were either split into groups of two or had to undergo a research project as an individual. Due to the unit being so widely spread, each group was tasked with one of the following categories of Natural Phenomena:
- Astronomical Natural Phenomena
- Atmospheric Natural phenomena
- Biological Natural Phenomena
- Geological Natural Phenomena
- Hydrological Natural Phenomena
- Opticians Natural Phenomena

Their mission was to research the various prototypes that fall under their topic, then write a definition about each and insert an illustration.
We also started looking at some of the causes of these natural phenomena, so the Grade Threes went back in time and cut deep, right through to the core...of the earth that is. They made a timeline based on the shift of the earth`s tectonic plates, starting 250 million years ago when we had one continent, known as Pangaea, and ending off with our current 7 continents of today. Understanding why the shifts occur was imperative, so we fractioned the earth to take a closer look inside to see what contributes to the shift of our tectonic plates.
This is the Fiery Foxes trying to form their very own indoor rainbow. They are using a flashlight, a mirror and water droplets, to test the function of refraction and reflection from light entering and exiting the drops of water-separating into its component of wavelengths (colours) to create a rainbow.
🌈Great Job!
