Hand bones

Today Deirdre came in to talk to us about poisons everywhere, in the school, in our houses, etc. A couple kids came up with some poisonous things in the house.

McCartney - Ant trap is poisonous
Max - clothing soap

Deirdre showed us a  poster about medicines that look like candy. Its important to remember that medicine is not candy and needs to be taken when a parent is there to tell you its ok.

We played a little game called, Quills up Quills down....

Quills up, Stay away, Quills down, it's ok!

Deirdre showed us many items and as a group we decided if it was ok or not ok. Quill the Porcupine helped us out.
Tums - Quills up, stay away!
Book - Quills down, its ok!
Toothpaste - Quills up, stay away!
Teddy bear - Quills down, its ok!
Toy bike - Quills down, its ok!
Lipstick - Quills up, stay away!
Dish soap - Quills up, stay away!
Orange -  Quills down, its ok!
Soap pods -Quills up, stay away!
Toy ice cream - Quills down, its ok!
 

Deidre showed us two glasses of what looked like water. She did an experiment to show us with food coloring and baking soda. What do you do if you see a glass of water that maybe has been sitting around? Is it water or poison?  The experiment showed that sometimes we don't know what it is that we are going to drink or eat. It is important to ask an adult before ingesting it!

In Science today we continued learning about bones. Today we discussed what the function of a bone is. How bones protect the body. And what bones do to help you move. We then followed up with assembling our own hand bones.
