Portfolios (Duotangs) of marked work have been sent home over the last week to be signed and returned by parents.   Please take the time to discuss with your child about their progress and please give me a call if you have any questions.

Math 8

In math today we looked at nets. Students cut out the nets to see how they can be folded to make 3-D objects.  We learnt the difference between prisms and pyramids.

Science 8

In science we unpacked our new microscopes and learn how to bring objects into focus.   We had a lot of fun looking at bug legs, dog fleas, wings and skin cells.  Students were able to practice using the correct terms for the parts of a microscope and were also able to practice problem solving as they helped each other to learn how to bring each specimen into focus.  We are looking forward to many more afternoons together in the science lab learning from each other.

Santé 8

Mr. Stewart did a presentation on screen time with the students today.

Science 6

Today we reviewed the parts of the microscopes.  Students need to be reviewing this at home each night.
