June 5/26

This first of June was busy but fun!  

Our Science Alive workshop on Thermal Energy was both interesting and informative. The SFU students taught us about thermal energy, with a focus on conduction and convection.  As part of the workshop, we created our own thermometers to explore how temperature changes affect liquids. We observed that when the thermometer was placed in hot water, the coloured liquid (representing mercury) rose, and when placed in cold water, it lowered. This helped us understand how heat energy transfers and demonstrated the concept of conduction in a hands-on way.

            

On Friday, we had a wonderful time exploring six different Indigenous Games stations! Students participated in a variety of activities, including Waltes, Stick Catch, Line Tag, High Kick, and Sling Ball, and also had the opportunity to sample a selection of Indigenous foods.

It was a fun and engaging experience for everyone! Please ask your child which activities they enjoyed most and which game they felt most successful in.

                                      

Div. 13 planted “mystery seeds” several weeks ago and have been eagerly watching them grow. Working with partners, students observed similarities and differences between the seeds and, later, the plants as they developed.

On Friday, we revealed the four types of edible plants: beans, peas, radishes, and nasturtiums. The plants were sent home and can be transplanted into your garden or into a larger pot. Each plant is labelled on the stick to help you identify it.
