Tuesday, January 17th was Kid Inventor Day. Also know as the “Best Day Ever”. We imagined we were explorers traveling to the Arctic. We thought about different challenges we would face there and created inventions to help fix them. One thing that we felt would be a challenge was finding food and someone designed a trap to catch animals that we could eat. An avalanche was another problem we were concerned about because there is so much snow in the arctic. One solution was building a big wall to the stop the snow. This wall was built on wheels so that it could be moved where it was needed. Other problems we felt we would face were traveling in deep snow, creating shelters, talking to people who speak a different language and many more. It must not be easy to live up North but it was a lot of fun inventing things to help! There were so many amazing inventions and it was really neat to see what other people invented. We also got popsicles!
This week we also started to make a plot graph of the actual temperature of Calgary and Iqaluit. Every morning around snack time, we look at the Weather Network and see the actual temperature, the feels like temperature, the time of sunrise and the time od the sunset. On Friday, it was -3 Degrees Celsius in Calgary and -32 Degrees Celsius in Iqaluit. We were very happy to be in Calgary! We are so excited to see what happens next week....
