A huge thank you to Tammy, our amazing custodian, for bringing baby piglets to school for a surprise visit to classrooms!

The baby piglets brought smiles, laughter, and a sense of calm to students and staff alike, creating a joyful and uplifting atmosphere. This thoughtful gesture made a lasting impact on our school community, reminding us of the simple joys that can brighten our day. Thank you, Tammy, for sharing this special experience with us! 🐷💕

Steam 8
Students in Steam 8 engaged in developing their engineering and math skills by creating various parachutes using a range of materials. They conducted multiple tests to determine which parachute achieved the slowest descent to accurately land on a target. Students were required to calculate the velocity of each parachute's descent. This activity provided a highly engaging opportunity for students to learn through the process of trial and error.
Over the course of several weeks, Grade 8 Science students engaged in interactive and exciting hands-on learning activities. This included constructing plant and animal cells, observing cells under a microscope, and enhancing their understanding of osmosis and diffusion by examining the effects of these processes on eggs, gummy bears, vegetables, and the interaction of iodine with corn starch.
