Our grade 5/6 students have been hard at work and are currently wrapping up our work on quadrilaterals and triangles. They have been working on learning about different shapes and their attributes, how to use protractors to measure angles and how to find missing angles in triangles and quadrilaterals. Our next steps will be to introduce number talks in the area of place value and we will be moving into exploring perimeter and area. In Science students have just begun exploring weather and why it is important to understand weather terminology and how important forecasts are in everyday life. Students are very excited to begin exploring this more in depth through hands on experiments and creating their own devices to measure weather phenomenon.

What a roaring success! All Ward 11 candidates attended our forum on Thursday and were engaged, polite, and (to be honest), blown away by our students and their questions.
The students cast their ballots on Friday for their candidate of choice in the mayoral, councillor, and school trustee races. We will be sharing the results and photos early next week, so please stay tuned! Welcome back to school! We have been busy planning and preparing for our year together. We are very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with the City of Calgary on a public art project during a conference of the International Play Association (IPA) at the Telus Convention Centre, September 13-16, 2018. We have a series of experiences arranged to support our work.
Firstly, we will be hosting a member from the City of Calgary’s Office of the Superintendent of Public Art on the afternoon of September 6, 2017. Secondly we will embark on a field study experience on September 7, 2017. The trip will begin as a public art walk from Elbow Park School to Olympic Plaza. We will have lunch along the way and spend the afternoon at the possible site(s) for our very own public art installation. Through analysis, reflection, and discussion, we will brainstorm and prototype some of our ideas. Questions we will be considering along the way include:
Questions we will consider at the potential site include:
