In Social Studies we watched a video of Iqaluit in the summer.  We will be looking at some artifacts from Iqaluit this week.  We are working on using adjectives and adding details to our writing.

 

Tomorrow is black and orange day.  You can wear black or orange or any Panorama Hills spirit wear.

Scientists in School Presentation- Nov. 7

Exploring Liquids is one of the Science units we will be studying this year.  On November 7th, our Grade 2 class is fortunate to have an in-school workshop about liquids, presented by Scientists in School.  Scientists in School is a non-profit organization that gives students an opportunity to interact with specialists, such as, scientists, ecologists and engineers.  Their goal is for every Canadian child to have multiple opportunities to be sparked by science.

The Grade 2’s will have the opportunity to participate in a hands-on presentation titled: Looking at Liquids.  During this program, students will: 

·      Explore the three states of matter

·      Use a thermometer to measure the conditions necessary to produce a change in state

·      Investigate buoyancy and solubility

·      Take up the challenge to produce the world’s biggest bubble

Each class is in need of 3-4 volunteers.  Parents may sign up on the Signup genius website.  Thanks for your support!

A form about this presentation will be sent home on Tuesday.  Please sign and return it to the school.
