Friday Forecast

-
OUTDOOR SCHOOL: Please ensure you have signed and returned the Outdoor School Field Trip form by Friday March 6th. There are currently a number of unpaid fees for this trip. Please ensure you have paid the $287.50 fee by Friday March 6th. If you need support doing this or financial assistance, please contact the school and we would be happy to help!

 Here is our Forecast for Next Week:

In Mathematics, we continue to work on developing an understanding of the relationship between area, perimeter and volume. We will be looking specifically at volume next week and how this applies to the real world!



In Humanities, we will be continuing to work on script writing. We will be viewing a Heritage Minute related to maple syrup in Canada. The teachers have created a script to share with the students to model how the description and dialogue should look. These scripts will be used alongside the puppets we have been creating with Wendy.

In Science, we will be analyzing fingerprints, footwear impressions, hairs and fibers. We are eagerly preparing for our Field Trip to the Youthlink Calgary Police Interpretive Centre on Thursday March 12th. Forms for this trip will be coming out next week as well!

On Wednesday, March 11, 2020, from 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm, Cambrian Heights School invites you share in a puppet workshop evening where you will learn about puppet theatre and production, while creating and characterizing a puppet with your child!

Orange Shirt Day recognizes the harm the residential school system did to children’s sense of self-esteem and wellbeing, and as an affirmation of our commitment to ensure that everyone around us matters. Yesterday we looked at the importance of doing a land acknowledgement. We read CBE’s statement of acknowledging the land where we gather. If you are interested in viewing a video regarding acknowledgement of the land, here is the link to the video students watched: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7re1r0FY-4Y We looked deeper into Phyllis Webstad’s story in her own words by watching a video of her children’s book she wrote in 2018, The Orange Shirt Story.
