Invite to our learning celebrationClay for Kids Monday from 10am-12pm
What did we do today?
- First thing in the morning we had a catch up time. We had to finish recording our Mountie artifacts before we could work on our learning celebration projects.
- For Fresh Air Friday, we were Mounties traveling from Dufferin, Manitoba to Fort Calgary. We were given a way of transportation and we had relay races. They were horse and cart, airplane, travois, car, train, canoe, bike, horse and walking. We had to travel according to the cards given and we timed each different way of travel.
- After our snack break, we discussed the obstacles the Mounties would have had with each transportation method. Such obstacles were stopping for rest and food, animals, flooding and rivers. Then Ms. Jones created obstacles in the relay race, and we tried two other ways of transportation with these obstacles.
- We learned that it actually took 97 days traveling by horse for the Mounties to complete the Great West March.
Questions:
- How long would it have taken the NWCP to complete their way west if they walked it? With a horse and cart? What obstacles did they encounter?
- What simple machine will we study first?
