Earth
Week
On
Earth Day, Our Lady of Lourdes went crazy on trees. Facts, movies, a
presentation, plants and more! Our whole school got a chance to learn all about
trees and how to take care of them. Who knew that the world’s oldest tree was 4
600 years old?! Or that one tree can process at least enough oxygen to serve 4
people in one day! Trees are amazing!
We
watched The Lorax and we’ve seen a big improvement in O.L.O.L. ‘s Tree
behaviour! The older kids watched The Man Who Planted Trees, a short clip that
taught them about our earth’s trees.
The
morning before, each class got a chance to do a tree trivia test. That was fun
and a good way to learn about trees. We asked about 10 questions that were
short but complicated. At 12:30 all of O.L.O.L.’s students came to see a
presentation that gave facts about trees. 2 of our Eco friends, Sydney and
Sofia, gave the answers to our “Tree Trivia”. We picked the classes with the
most correct answers and they won a prize. They won a plant and they have to
water them and give them sun. Then a class put on a show actually more like a
concert about trees. They made a short rap about The Lorax and saving trees. It
was amusing and we learned a lot! A while later, Ms. McCarthy’s class sang a
song about the three R’s. To see what they learned, we asked a few questions.
We asked about 2 each grade and we couldn’t believe how they learned!
For
O.L.O.L., Earth Day 2012 was a huge success! Next Year may be even better!
