🌕Lunar Eclipse Tonight!
Today, we were learning about the upcoming Artemis II mission – and how a Canadian astronaut, Jeremy Hansen, will be travelling around the moon! The mission should take place around the first of April! This will be a monumental occasion for us as it will be the first time a Canadian gets to travel to the moon! (We learned, however, that they will not be landing on the moon. That is for a later mission: Artemis IV.)
Did you know we are having a lunar eclipse tonight?
The moon will turn red and if the sky is clear enough, we should be able to see it between 3:44 am and 6:39 am!

For our next unit in social studies, we will be looking at Canada and how it interacts with the rest of the world. We learn about international accords, treaties, and organizations that Canada is a part of. And we learn about how the federal government responds to different issues.
So what a perfect time to get to listen to our local Member of Parliament, Jenna Sudds, speak and answer our questions!
She will be giving a talk to the 5s and our 6s on January 22 at 9:15am.
If you have any questions, please email me!
🍁STEM: Building the Canadarm
Today in science class, we had the STEM challenge of building our own ‘Canadarm’.
The Canadarm is an important Canadian space innovation!
After Mr McCoy gave us a brief lesson about the Canadarm and how it moves and functions, students were put into teams to engineer their own mini Canadarms! We designed and started to build today! They had amazing ideas! Great creative problem solving skills!
