After learning about owls and how important they are to food webs all over the world, we dissected owl pellets! What a fun way to learn about what owls eat. The students and teachers were so impressed at how pristine the bones looked! @AssisiOCSB#ocsb@FRAecopatrol
Such an amazing experiment we did in Grade 6 this morning! Ss dissected owl pellets as apart of our Biodiversity Unit. #ocsbDL@AssisiOCSB@mrboddysclass#fraDL
We dove into #WorldWaterDay2023 by imitating an oil spill. Ss used various strategies to remove the oil from their “ocean.” Great discussions happened about ways in which we can help project our waters and accelerate change! 💦💧 #ocsbDL#FraDL@AssisiOCSB@mrboddysclass
The students had a great time creating their own engineering companies and building fire towers. They learned the three points engineers think about: faster, better, cheaper. What a cool STEAM activity. :) @AssisiOCSB#ocsb#ocsbSTEAM@SKentsclassroom
Today is a #SnowDay. @OttSchoolBus has cancelled all buses & vans due to icy road conditions in rural areas. All #ocsb schools remain open. Parents who send their children to school will be responsible for transportation to and from school.
We welcomed @PGLSBA to our school this morning to work with our Gr 6 Ss on a STEAM Challenge that focused on The UN Sustainable Development Goals. This activity was packed with Global Competencies! #ocsbDL#FraDL@mrboddysclass@AssisiOCSB
We put our electricity knowledge to the test today making and wiring Harry Potter wands. A huge thank you to @LetsTalkScience (Ottawa and Carleton University) for creating such a memorable learning opportunity! What a great day! @AssisiOCSB@SKentsclassroom#ocsb#ocsbDL
Due to inclement weather all school buses & school vans are cancelled for today Friday January 13,2023. Schools are open, however parents/guardians are responsible for transportation of students attending open schools at the end of the day.
Students really enjoyed learning about the indigenous peoples map of Canada. It is interesting to see how our great country looks on such a huge map. Thank you @LynAnneCote1 for creating this learning opportunity for our class. @AssisiOCSB#ocsb
Week 1 of our deserted island STEAM Challenge was a huge success. Our lone survivor now has a shelter. I wonder what he will need next to survive on this island! @SKentsclassroom@AssisiOCSB#ocsb
Today was the first volleyball tournament we have since 2019 and it was amazing! All the students represented their schools perfectly and I was so happy/proud and impressed! A huge thank you to all the teachers and staff that made it such a successful day! @AssisiOCSB#ocsb
@SKentsclassroom@AssisiOCSB It was a great time having are very own punkin chunkin STEAM challenge for sure! It is always the best when you see the students faces light up when they make something that works!
What a fun way to take part in #TakeMeOutsideDay .The students learned about how a controlled chemical reaction can produce thrust and then made photo canister rockets. It was a blast! They were amazed at how high their rockets went! #ocsb@AssisiOCSB@SKentsclassroom#ocsbsteam
