Science Fair

Today was a great second day of science week here at camp! Today Red Group had a lot of fun learning and experimenting! We played planet kickball, spent a lot of time building in the sand box, and playing with “Orbeez”! We are all very excited for the zoo field trip tomorrow!

The Orange Group started the day off at arts and crafts by building contraptions for an egg drop out of recycled materials, and making our own aquariums! Then we had a lot of fun playing on the playground, in the sandbox, and at the water slide! Then we tested our egg drops with a lot of success! We had a lot of fun at the science fair at the end of the day where we did a lot of activities like rockets, and learning about some fun experiments!

The Yellow Group started the day with a scavenger hunt, infection tag, and blog tag! Then we made water bottle tornados, and spaghetti and marshmallow structures! At the science fair we played with “oobleck,” and cups that we turned into telephones using string!

Today the Green Group ran an amazing whole camp science fair! Some of the stations included elephant toothpaste, baking soda and vinegar rockets, catapults, sponge balls, “oobleck,” cup phones, marble towers, and puffy paint! We can’t wait for another amazing field trip tomorrow!

We are so excited for our field trip to Rodger Williams Zoo tomorrow! A reminder to wear the yellow camp shirts, and a rain jacket because we will be going rain or shine! There is also a late dismissal tomorrow. We are planning on being back at 1:00 p.m!! The bus route will start after we get back to camp! Thanks in advance for your patience!

Introduction to Science

 We had a great first day of science week!

Today the Red Group had a great day! We spent time playing on the playground and sandbox. During field time we spent time in the water slide and played bob tag. During arts and crafts we had fun playing with “Orbeez” in the water table.

The Orange group started the day off at arts and crafts where we made catapults and launched pom-poms! We also made structures with spaghetti and marshmallows! We had fun playing on the playground and on the water slide! In the field we played mitosis tag and molecule tag!

The Yellow Group started the day playing “What time is it Mr.Fox?” and then played predator vs. prey and mitosis tag with the Green Group! We then drew our own constellations, did and egg drop, and made penny boats!

The Green Group loved playing predator v. prey and mitosis tag with yellow! We also did what scientists do and tested science experiments for our whole camp science fair!! The whole camp is looking forward to the science fair tomorrow and learning more for science week!

First Pool Day

Luckily, the sun came out just for us! We were planning on swimming in the rain, but it was a nice surprise to swim in the sun. Everyone had fun splashing around and swimming in the pool. It was a great pool day!

The bus has been running late the past few days, but the bus drivers are getting used to their routes and the students are getting used to getting off the bus more quickly. Please plan to be out by your bus stop a little earlier than normal as the bus gets into their normal routine. Thanks for your patience!
