Krolos!

We are very pleased to add another magnificent grade 5 to our class. Thank you to all students who made Krolos feel welcome. He joins us from Mississauga, so not only is he new to St. Nicholas, but he is new to London as well.

Science
Today we continued our discussion of physical changes focusing on the different changes of state of water. It's incredible that all the water on the earth just keeps cycling from one form to another. Some key words to remember today...
CONDENSATION, SOLIDIFICATION, EVAPORATION, PRECIPITATION, TRANSPIRATION.
Complete science questions and diagram of water cycle.

Do you remember the meaning of transpiration? How does it fit into the water cycle?

Put on your dancing shoes and check out this video on the water cycle:
