For our 4th Guest Wednesday, we had our friend, Diana from the Columbia Basin Water Smart and she came to us with lots of knowledge about water conservation!!!
She told us a great story about her friend - Wally? - the water smart fish who goes up against the terrible water wasting dragon!! Her art work for her story was beautiful and I think the kids and I really enjoyed the story!
After the story, Diana took the kids to investigate water usage in our bathroom (sorry, no pictures!). We experimented with how much water can be wasted when we don't properly turn off the taps whilst brushing our teeth! We also used food colouring to see if there were any leaks in our library's public toilet (update: there isn't!!!).
After that Diana took out her magical map and we learnt about where our water comes from in the area! We also learned about how water is cleaned and treated before coming into our houses!
After our review of the area's water sources we went outside for some more fun!!
Diana brought with her some water balloons as well! And she also unveiled her amazing juggling skills to us all!!!
We were also joined by our library puppy, Gypsy :)
As a gift to the kids, Diana taught them the basic skill in water balloon juggling and we all tried our best to master the techniques!
We also got to get some face paint!! AWESOME!
It was great fun! We also had time to read some stories and check out some books! Thanks Diana for such a lovely afternoon!
