Track & Field

I have sent home a note regarding volunteers for our track & field day at SPS on May 15th. If you are available to volunteer on the day please fill out the bottom portion of the form and send it back no later than next Friday, May 3rd.

We need 20 volunteers from 8:30-11:15 a.m. and also from 11:15-1:15 p.m.

We have been practising very hard this past week on the following events:

100m
800m
ball throw

We will start 1500m, 200m & long jump next week.

I am very impressed with how motivated the students have been. They are pushing themselves to improve their times and distances. Keep up the great work!

Please do not forget to send an outdoor pair of running shoes with your child to keep at school in order for them to participate in track & field events :-)

Scientists in School

The students had tons of fun last Wednesday during our "Pulleys & Gears" workshop. They learned how gears work, how to make and use a few types of pulleys and even had the opportunity to pull me :-)

Here are a few pictures from the workshop:





Here are the 4 main types of engrenages (gears):


Engrenage cylindrique
 


Engrenage à vis sans fin
 



Engrenage conique
 




Engrenage à pignon & crémalière


Our next science workshop is this coming Thursday, May 2nd from 11:30-3:00 p.m. in our classroom.

It is called "Don't take Rocks for Granite". Students will explore and learn about different types of rocks and minerals.

Milk Presentation


The students learned the importance of reading food labels and looking at specific areas such as the sugar, sodium and fibre content. They also identified how milk & milk substitutes affect/improve how our body functions.
