Happy Weekend Families,

Rom 16 has been super busy and really excited about new happenings in the school and the classroom.

We are learning about indigenous tales in writing and we are hoping to soon, begin writing our own creation stories.

In science we spent a day at Telus Spark learning about solar power and other forms of energy to help make things move.  We then got to invent our own item that would help in space.  Some of the amazing ideas were a garden, coffee warmer, vacuum, puppy to play with, a space rover and a solar powered car.  The students enjoyed the entire day. We will also be doing a Magnificent Idea invention with Ms. Reid, our student teacher.

We are currently learning about the regions of Canada and Alberta in Social Studies.  We would like to create 3D maps of each of these, and may need assistance with recycled materials.  If you have any items that you can donate to the class, that would be amazing.

Multiplication is our focus for a couple of weeks in mathematics and students are learning different tricks to help them remember their times tables.

The grade 4s are headed off on a quick field trip to celebrate Grey Cup on Thursday, November 21, and we are in need of a volunteer or two, please let us know if you are available.

The grade 3/4/5 groups did an amazing job at the Remembrance Day Assembly, and thank you to all parents who showed up for support.

Have a great weekend and stay tuned for more fun and exciting news.
