Final Stretch

It is hard to believe that we are entering the last few weeks of grade four/five.

Please check out some of the pictures from our recent field trip to Britannia Mines (in the Photo Gallery). I want to say a big thank you to the parents who came along with us too. We had such a great field trip!

Our science unit has led to a lot of interesting inquiries. A few weeks ago, students worked in small groups to participate in a Maker Day (design challenge). They were asked to create a prototype of a vehicle that was better for the environment. Their challenge was to design a vehicle that satisfied one of the following criteria:

• use less or no non-renewable resources
• use renewable resources

They had to use some of everything that was in their basket to create their prototypes. Check out the final products:
