4/5 Science Weather Instruments

The grade 4/5s should be bringing home a note today, along with a booklet of various weather instruments. They have each chosen one instrument to make at school (on November 4th), but need help getting a few supplies from home. Please help your child find the supplies they need to bring (they are starred (*)on the booklet) and send the direction booklet back to school with the supplies. If you wish to send more of the other supplies that are not starred, please do so, however, it is not required as I will gather those for them as well.
Thank-you!

The staff is very excited to be going, so hopefully the students are, too!!

Autobiographies

We have been busy writing about a topic we all know really well...ourselves! Remember to ask someone what it was like the day you were born (a beautiful, summer day or maybe the drive to the hospital was during the worst blizzard of the decade) and also how you got the name you did.

TUSC

The grade 7/8s have been working on becoming comfortable speaking in front of the class through the use of the TUSC program. Each week, students get a different role, most requiring a little bit of research. The next presentation day is Wednesday, October 23rd. Anyone not finished their role should do it for homework so they are ready to present. If internet is not available at home, it is the students responsibility to ask to stay in during part of their break to finish up.

Science Quiz!

Just a quick correction Grade 6/7 your science quiz is on Wednesday! Please remember to study!!! I will hopefully have all your assignments back to you by Monday! Enjoy a great weekend! I hope you get out to see some of the girls soccer in Austin and I will get to see some of you tomorrow for the outdoor ed trip!

6/7 Science

4/5 Science

The Grade 4/5 class has been busily learning about weather in science. They have all been working on a project on some type of severe weather and began creating powerpoints out of all their information. They are powerpoint experts and found some really interesting information! Like did you know that there is a hurricane on Jupiter that has been going for more than 400 years!?

Girl Power

 

Happy Friday, Everyone!
Since the school yard was full of girls for soccer provincials, we had a special "girls only meeting" this morning. After this, all the girls ran loudly, cheering through the halls, outside to cheer on the MacGregor Mustangs during their game. Of course, we ended up including the boys and they joined us in cheering outside! 
It was a great way to start Friday morning!
