Family Event

We have been learning about Alberta's Natural Resources in class and this event fits the theme.

Check out this exciting family fun event the SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) in Calgary is hosting! Drop in Saturday Feb 29th at SAIT to learn about the science behind oil and gas in an educational environment. There is something for all ages!

This fun family event aims to show off the innovative ways resource workers harvest the energy the world needs. Through hands-on experiments, guests will learn the science behind energy production - everything from fracking to density, porosity, and pressure. Get a chance to tour the SAIT facilities, meet students and professors, and even check out the rig simulator. There is something for everyone, in or out of industry, experience or none, young or old!

The event is open to the public and is for families, professionals, students, and children of all ages. Tickets are $10 per family.

Missing Phone!

If you see the phone of the following description please contact the office.

The make and model is a Samsung Galaxy J3.  The colour is black with a large sticker on the back of it which looks like stained glass and the character “Link” from the Zelda video game.  I was able to get the serial number (IMEI) from my purchase contract. The IMEI is 359229090701360.  The screen saver while in the lock screen is a picture of a green car made out of Lego.  The phone has a pattern lock on it as well. 

 

Flashlight Friday's

Dear Parents,
As part of our Light and Shadows unit in Science, beginning at the end of March, our class will be participating in “Flashlight Friday”, a 15 minute reading block where students will read in the dark with only the light of a flashlight. This fun activity will reinforce outcomes teaching the purpose and path of light.
If you have an extra small flashlight at home, please label it and send it to school with your child. 
Sincerely,
Mrs. Diduch
