Hello, 4A families!
Our Grade 4 students had an exciting and hands-on learning experience during our visit to the Saanich Public Works yard!
Students explored how local infrastructure systems help communities function safely and efficiently, connecting to the BC Grade 4 Science, Social Studies and Career Ed. curriculum.
Through demonstrations and interactive booths, students learned about hydraulics and simple machines used in excavators, garbage trucks, sewer maintenance vehicles, and road construction equipment.
They also explored water systems, recycling, underground utilities, traffic systems, invasive and indigenous plant management, and the important role public works employees play in caring for our environment and community.
Students gained insight into workplace safety, technology used to locate underground services, and the many careers involved in maintaining roads, utilities, green spaces, and transportation systems.
This field trip helped students better understand how humans use science, technology, and cooperation to solve problems and build sustainable, connected communities.
In other news, our class continues to make strong progress in Math as students work through our units on probability and visualizing data.
In Language Arts and Bible class, students are thoughtfully developing their sermon-writing projects and learning how to communicate important ideas with clarity, structure, and purpose.
Tomorrow will be an especially exciting day, as our 4A class will help lead chapel by sharing our film production of “Jesus Heals the Paralyzed Man.”
Students will also showcase the creativity and meaning behind their personalized learning coats, which reflect their identities, interests, growth, and learning journeys throughout the year. We look forward to sharing a special blog post tomorrow featuring photos and videos from the presentation!
