Highlights
We started our Science unit on Boats and Buoyancy today.  Students experiment with plasticine to see if they could make it into a shape that floats.  We then tested our shapes in water and made adjustments to our designs.   

-Scholastic orders are due next Tuesday, June 5th.

Important Information

*All student library books must be returned June 8.

Weaving for Water is a service learning project by the Grade 3 students at Panorama Hills School. Our creative students have chosen to raffle their handiwork in support of clean water projects around the world.

When you buy raffle tickets from our Grade 3 students, you are helping to improve the quality of life of families who do not currently have local access to clean water.  Tickets for the raffle are $2 each.

Every ticket you purchase helps us reach our goal of raising $1000 in support of Ryan's Well Foundation and gives you a chance to win a decorative pillow woven by the artistic hands of our amazing students.

Poster Project
As part of our Language Arts program, students will be asked to design a poster and then present it to the class.  Students may choose any topic they want for their poster (e.g., sport, food, hobby, club, a family trip, an animal, themself, etc.). 

Students will receive a blank poster when it is their turn.  They may include photographs, draw pictures, cut pictures out of magazines, or use writing to tell about their topic.  Once students are finished they may bring their poster back to school (typically I ask that posters be completed in about a week).  Students will then talk about their poster in front of the class.  If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at lcbain@cbe.ab.ca .
