This week our class was presenting our extinct animal science project. We learned a lot about why these animals went extinct.  We also learned how animals today face similar threats of extinction and ways to prevent extinction.

Yesterday we had guest speaker come to our school to talk with us about growth mindset.  The main character Ned went on an important mission to find his mindset.  Throughout his mission he taught us to never give up, encourage others, and always our best.  He also helped us understand the power of yet, how to spark courage in others, and how to keep learning and growing.  Throughout the presentation we also got to see a number of really cool yo-yo tricks.  Yo-yo’s  can also be purchased online today and tomorrow through school cash and picked up on Thursday and Friday at lunch.  If you would like to learn some of these tricks from yesterdays presentation please visit: http://www.mindsetmission.com/yoyos

Throughout our Planting a Promise unit students in division 4 and 12 will be learning that:
✱ Plants are diverse in the way they grow.  They are different in their appearance, in their use and in their life cycle.
✱ Seasonal changes happen in plants as well as animals.
✱ Plants have basic needs (air, water, soil and light) that must be met in order for them to grow.
✱ Air, water and soil have different physical characteristics that can affect the growth of plants.
✱ Personal choices have environmental consequences that can affect living resources, like plants.

This week students from Division 4 visited the Burnaby Village Museum to learn from Indigenous Educators about hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwxw̱ú7mesh history and culture. Using the First Peoples Principles of Learning, they explored the Indigenous Learning House and the Matriarch’s Garden at Burnaby Village Museum.

This week students of Division 4 and 8 harvested 242 potatoes that we have been growing and tending to since March. Students thoroughly enjoyed digging in the dirt and discovering the different insects that decided to call our potato plants home. They were fascinated by the root system and had no problem locating the original  mushed up seed potatoes.

In class students have been learning about simple machines and how to build their own.  Here are a few of their designs.

Students were very excited to see that their spuds sprouted while we were away for Spring Break and began the process of hilling and caring for their growing potatoes yesterday.

Our daffodils are officially in bloom and beautifying the front of our school.
