Congratulations again to our athletes who raced in Beaumont today!!!

The Terry Fox Run is tomorrow.  Hot dogs will not be served this year, instead, students will be receiving a juice box and fruit.  We will be gathering in the gym around 10 am and hope to be back in the classroom by around 11:30 am.  If you are available to volunteer for the morning, please let the office, or Mr. G, know.  FI you have not brought in your Toonie for Terry, you can still bring it in tomorrow.

In Science today, students were asked the question: Will all materials absorb the same amount of water?  We tested several different materials and found that materials absorb DIFFERENT amounts of water.  The sponge and dish cloth absorbed the MOST water while kleenex absorbed the LEAST amount. We also discovered that plastic baggie, tin foil, wax paper and nylon fabric all REPEL water.  Ask your child to find an example of materials found in your home that ABSORB water and some that REPEL water.  Have them write the names of these materials in their agendas.  We will share our discoveries tomorrow.
