In Term 3 students researched and presented their history projects about Canadian history at the School Fair with students from Division 3.

Fenix, Liam, and Sierra from our class along with Dylan, Ivy, and Alicia from Division 3 were all selected to attend the Regional Fair this year in Delta.

At the Regional Fair students had the opportunity to visit the Port of Vancouver and learn about the various types of ships that import and export goods.  They also got to create a photographic print using cyanotype. At the Regional Fair Liam, Fenix, and Dylan all won individual awards and Fenix was selected also selected to attend the Provincial Heritage Fair in Victoria this July.

All the students put an outstanding amount of effort into their projects this year and should be very proud of the research and presentations.

In Term 3 our class was learning about the importance of sleep, diet, and physical activity and how these things can have an impact on our health and well being.  We also learned how to conduct surveys and how to represent data in bar graphs.

Once students had the hang of conducting surveys and graphing their results we decided to conduct school wide surveys.  The students surveyed their peers to determine how much time screen time students are getting, how much physical activity they are getting each day, how many sugary drinks they are consuming per day, and how many hours of sleep they are getting each night.

After compiling all the results the students created graphs that they later presented to the whole school.  As they presented their  findings they also provided students with recommendations for how they can balance screen time with other activities, consume less sugar, increase their physical activity and make sure they are getting enough sleep.
