Science Week: Day 4: Design a Pop up Sustainable Town

Caring for the Planet

Third and Fourth Class have been busy learning about the impact of Climate change.

Here are some impacts of Climate change on our planet:

Rising Sea-Level:

Sea level has risen about 8 inches due to the melting of glaciers and ice sheets. The warming of seas and oceans is also making coastal storms more damaging.

Ocean acidification:

Extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is absorbed by the oceans, making them more acidic. This can make it difficult for corals and microorganisms that form shells to survive, disrupting the food supply for other sea animals.

Heat waves

Heat waves are long periods of time with above-normal temperatures. As the Earth warms, more areas will be at risk for hotter and more frequent extreme heat waves.

Wildfires:

These are large fires that burn vast amounts of forests and brush. When they are not controlled, wildfires can destroy homes and be deadly.

Drought:

Global warming will increase the risk of drought in some regions.

We had great fun designing our sustainable towns!

Grandparents' Day

Grandparents' Day was a truly special occasion at our school, filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. The children were thrilled to share their classrooms and activities with their grandparents, who brought such warmth and joy to the day. A huge thank you to all the parents who contributed the delicious baked goods—it was a real treat for everyone and added to the festive atmosphere. It was heartwarming to see generations coming together and celebrating the importance of family. We are so grateful for the wonderful community spirit that made the day such a success!

Christmas Wreaths

Fourth Class got into the festive spirit this week by creating beautiful Christmas wreaths to decorate their homes. Using oasis as a base, they carefully arranged holly, ivy, and greenery, finishing with a dusting of snow spray for a magical touch. The children showed fantastic creativity and focus, designing stunning centrepieces to brighten up their kitchen tables over the holidays. Well done to everyone for their hard work and festive flair!

Science Week

During Science Week in Fourth Class, the children engaged in exciting activities centered around the theme of Regeneration. They delved into the topic of Energy, exploring renewable energy sources and their role in protecting our ozone layer.
