 Message to Parents & Guardians:

• Please send an extra mask everyday to school for your child. With the warmer weather, many students are misplacing their masks when they go outside. 

• Ask your child about our topic of study in Science 
• Ask your child to tell you about a Sit Spot 

Learning Highlights:

Scientists in room one are exploring the concept of sinking, floating, fluid displacement and buoyancy. Today Scientists manipulated a paper boat in order to enhance and change the original design. The goal was to get the paper boat to float.  Can you see the different materials that the students could choose? 

During Literacy today, we experienced the Indigenous concept of Sit Spots. During this time, the class went outside to take advantage of learning through nature. Students were given the direction to sit away from their peers, be still, listen to the sounds, observe their surroundings. Can you hear the robin the video?

• Today students learned about what it means to acknowledge the land
• Elders have taught us it's important to acknowledge the land where we gather and the first peoples who traditionally lived here. It shows respect for the people, their contributions and their ways of knowing, which are reflected through the stories and songs that have lived on this land for thousands of years. We make an acknowledgement to further demonstrate our commitment to work together as a community in laying the foundation for reconciliation through education. 
  
  

• Students then made personal connections to recognizing the importance of the land
