It was National Indigenous Peoples' Day today, which we marked by examining the new flags gifted to our school recently by the Indigenous Learning Team. The three flags represent the Treaty 7, Metis and Inuit nations and sparked interesting discussion of symbols, colours, history and culture around our Indigenous community.
Today's STEM challenge was a paper airplane flight contest. First, we watched a video that led us through the steps to make a paper airplane. We then experimented in the classroom with different throwing techniques to see how they soared. Near the end of the day we took them outside to see whose aircraft flew the farthest...and also tried throwing them into the wind to see how that affected their flight. Ask your child how their paper airplane made out!
Remember to return any levelled readers your child may have brought home in their RED folders in the past few months. Thank you!
