Magnets


We are studying magnets in Science. We have learned many things about magnets thus far.

  1. There are different shapes of magnets: bar, horseshoe, disc, ring, and cylinder. 
  2. When something is magnetic, it can pull things with steel or iron towards the magnet. 
  3. The two ends of a magnet are called the north and south poles. These are the parts where the magnets are strongest. 
  4. Around these poles is an area known as a magnetic field. In the magnetic field, other magnetic objects can be drawn to the magnet.

CBC Radio's Saskatoon Morning

CBC Radio's Saskatoon Morning is on the lookout for a unique school in the city. It's asking for people to nominate their school, sharing what makes it special. Saskatoon Morning will host a live broadcast from the winning school.

We would like to thank a student's parent for nominating our school. It is truly an honour to be nominated for teaching these beautiful students.

In response to the nomination, the class has made a video and accompanying audio recording highlighting the outstanding parts of our school mentioned in the letter.

Structures - Joints


Joints are places where two parts of a structure are held together by nails, fasteners, cement, or other material. Today, we built structures with a variety of materials. We used our prior knowledge of using triangular shapes to strengthen the structure and using different materials for joinery.
