Dear Parents and Gr.4's/5's,

Today grade 5's learned how to make a barometer and why we use a barometer to measure atmospheric pressure which helps us know if it is going to be a sunny day or a rainy day.

Here is a really good video to help students get a better understanding of the concept discussed today.

Grade four students did an experiment that demonstrates that light travels outward from a source and continues unless blocked by an opaque material.

Most student needed to finish their work in class but those who did not it was sent home for homework.

We also started our poetry unit where students were given a poem for you to read together and discuss the meaning and comparisons.
