Science: We continued our investigation into sound by building musical devices. Our challenge was to find ways to change the loudness and pitch of our creations. We know that sound can be reflected and absorbed, so it will be interesting to see what alterations are made as we continue this inquiry on Monday.
The students are developing a deep understanding of the experiences of Black Canadians in the past, as well as the achievements of so many Black Canadians today. We understand that learning about the history and contributions of the Black community goes beyond the month of February. Using this knowledge and their own schema, the students wrote amazing reflections to express why they think it is important to have a Black History Month. We will continue our learning by looking more closely at specific people, past and present, who have made contributions to the Canada we live in today.
Many thanks for returning your trip forms for Vivian Outdoor Resource Centre (Tuesday, March 7th), as well as report card envelopes that are to be used again for Term 2 report cards.
Spelling Bee finals are Monday, February 27th from 11:20-12:20 in the Gymnasium. All are welcome to attend as we cheer on (quietly!) our classmates and friends in grades 3 and 4. Good luck to all!
Winter Activity Day has been re-scheduled for Monday, March 6th. If the cold weather and snow holds up, tubing at Lakeridge Ski Resort and activities at school will take place on this day.
Thank you for your continued support.
Mrs. McIntosh
