What another busy week at school we have had! Our field study to the Calgary Zoo was an amazing one! Students took part in a Plant-Edu Trek program where we explored various coniferous and deciduous types of plants. We learned that aspen trees produce a powder that can be used as a natural form of sunscreen! The rest of our time at the zoo was flexible and students had the opportunity to visit various animal exhibits and enclosures! Another highlight of the day was having time to view the Giant Pandas on loan from the Toronto Zoo! Have your child share some of their new learnings from this day with you! Students have completed their Natural Disasters projects and have been sharing them this week! It has been so wonderful to see the effort and hard work that has gone into these projects. Students have been working hard on their natural disasters project, making meaningful connections to climate change, the impact of human action and some have offered their insight and opinions on how we can prevent/predict these disasters from occurring. A few groups have yet to present and will do so early next week. Good job everyone! We have been looking at 3D objects in Math and comparing and contrasting rectangular prisms to triangular prisms. We will continue to strengthen our problem solving skills by working on 3 Act Math challenges.

Our leadership students have been working very hard for this to happen. Thank you for cooperating with us. If you go GREEN, we can be CLEAN.
