Dear Parents,

We had a great week of learning. The students engaged in the Scientist at School program learning about plants, photosynthesis and growth change. They were given the opportunity to dissect an alstomaria plant and make paper out of recycled newspaper, wildflower seeds and flower petals. We will be sharing this with you later next week. The students also looked closely at parsley and how it changed when CO2 was added to it in comparison to natural light. Please ask your child about this over the long weekend.

The grade 4 team will be going on a field trip to Glenbow Ranch on Wednesday May 23. This is a FULL DAY field trip and will be outdoors. The weather is anticipated to be HOT and the students will be hiking. It is important for them to bring plenty of water, snacks and a nutritious lunch. They should be dressed in cool clothing, hat, sunscreen and insect repellent if you wish. ALL FORMS MUST BE RETURNED TO SCHOOL BY TUESDAY FOR YOUR CHILD TO GO.

Important Information:
