This week our grade 5 students built 4 types of truss bridges and tested their holding weight! 📚🏗They also examined each truss bridge to spot the types of angles, triangles and polygons they could find! 🔍📐 #MathChallenge #Geometry #MathIsFun @SirJohnA_LDSB

Our grade 5 artists made poppy art pieces for the Remembrance Day assembly tomorrow at @SirJohnA_LDSB . The students used various techniques to create contrasting textures with tissue paper! #RemembranceDay #PoppyArt

Food waste is a worldwide problem and has no borders. Shockingly high amounts of produce are thrown away because they don’t meet “aesthetic standards”. Encourage others to prevent waste by choosing the ugly fruits and veggies! 😁👍🍅🥦🍋#EnvironmentalEducation #ImperfectProduce

We have cut down on food waste by having an emptier fridge and "being in the moment" with our shopping more.
