Students are working towards developing a character for their puppet scripts. The characters they develop are based on prominent Canadian figures of our past. With their puppets, they will try to reenact and tell their character's story to their classmates.



In math, we are trying to write our names in 3D. This is part of our Problem of the Week (POTW) Students will calculate the surface area of the letters of their name. We are moving towards learning about volume and how to calculate volume. Because their names are in 3D, they will be able to calculate the volume of their letters too... among other things!


ATTENTION: Students will be having their Sky Science test on Friday. We will be preparing for this throughout the week.

Orange Shirt Day will be recognized by Cambrian Heights School on Thursday October 3, 2019 Students that are interested can wear orange to show that Every Child Matters. 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.
