The rain stayed away and we had a fun adventure up to SFU!

The bus ride was a blast and we managed to get both classes together onto one bus each way. We were amazed to be on campus and to see all the buildings and student spaces.

And while some of the scientific terminology used in the session was quite advanced, students were engaged and asking fantastic questions.

For one of the experiments we timed a little car with a few trials; we learned that the harder the force, the faster it went.

Ask your child about one of the questions they were asked to hypothesize: Which would fall faster- a bowling ball or a feather- if all the air was taken out of the room? We watched a video clip that surprised us!

A big thank you to Emory’s mom for joining us today… helping to supervise and keep everyone safe.

We can’t wait for our next field trip!

 

FROM ANYWHERE TO ANYONE

The students continue to engage in fun ways to practice their writing skills. One way they can choose is to write a letter, card or postcard to anyone in the school! We are learning what should be included in a letter and what information should be on the envelope. Of course stamps are also needed! The students were given the task of creating the artwork for the $0.25 Canadian stamp. They did a wonderful job. The students can also write to someone at home; this will be a great opportunity for your children to memorize their home address.

 

We spoke about peace and what it means to each of us.

During our school’s Remembrance Day assembly, we listened to beautiful poems and observed a moment of silence to remember. We are forever grateful.
