Scientist in the Classroom and Field Trip

We had a fantastic morning learning all about plants and photosynthesis.  Scientist in the Classroom Penny was our guest and she had us dissect a flower to show the different parts, took us through an experiment that showed how photosynthesis occurred, stations that taught us all about plants, and even showed us how they recycle paper!!  We are very excited for our field trip to Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park tomorrow, and we’re sure it will be a fantastic day of learning!   It is forecast to be a beautiful day, with a day-time high of 25ºC.   Students will be outside for most of the day, travelling around the park.   With this in mind, please send your child with: -        a backpack -        light layers that can easily be removed and packed away inside a backpack.   It will likely be cooler in the morning and warm up as the day goes on. -  ...
