What an AMAZING week we had this week! A jam packed week full of fun in the snow, a field trip to TELUS SPARK and some hands on exciting learning happening in Grade 2!


Our learning intentions in Science this week were;

Exploring the Properties of Light:

  • I can explain how light helps us see things around us
  • I can investigate how light travels in straight lines and can be blocked to make shadows
  • I can explore how light reflects off mirrors or shiny objects
  • I can observe and describe how different materials let light pass through (transparent), block light (opaque) or allow some light through (translucent).
Investigating Light in Nature and Daily Life:

  • I can explore how the sun gives us light and affects the Earth.
  • I can describe how light changes during the day, like sunrise and sunrise and sunset.
  • I can explain how we use light to help us in daily life, like in flashlights, lamps, or traffic lights.
Conducting Experiments with Light;
  • I can ask questions about light and plan experiments to answer them.
  • I can use tools like flashlights, glow sticks, mirrors, and objects to test how light behaves.
  • I can predict and test how shadows change when the position of the light source changes.




"My favourite part of TELUS spark was going on the nail bed, because it tricked me I thought it would hurt and it didn't and I was surprised." Halle

"I liked when we into the classroom and we put on the special glasses and we looked up and I was so surprised to see that everything was rainbow coloured." Walker

"I liked using the lazer's because we had to do an obstacle course and it was hard to get it to touch the star. We had to work together." Norah









"Scientists need to be prepared for their experiments. They need to stay safe, and not get hurt. Sometimes the potions or mixes can spill on them. Safety goggles protect your eyes, if you hurt your eyes then you can't see things like "the beautiful sunset, snowflakes falling." Grade 2














Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the snow! See you Monday friends.

Good evening families, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Just a reminder that our in class talent show will be this coming Monday in the afternoon. We were super excited to have seen the mural finally come to LIFE in our gymnasium. We know that there was a lot of work that went into this masterpiece with Justin and Mrs. Scarrow (and the teacher committee), we also appreciated that ALL students voices at Andrew Sibbald had an opportunity to contribute to this.  "I am happy he recognized that Justin added the parts we wanted to see in it." Norah "I liked that he added holding hands with each other, and the different colours because we all have different skins." Jill "I liked that he added the book, because we are good learners here at Andrew Sibbald School." Liesel We had a great week together full of some wonderful learning in our classroom. One of our highlights this week was in math, our learning intentions for Data Analysis and Graphing were: I can...

Good evening families I hope this weekend has been wonderful for you all. Wishing all the Mom's a very happy Mother's day, I hope you found some time this weekend to enjoy some time for you! Thank you again to all the volunteers who were able to join us this week at the Zoo. The students had an amazing day! Our highlights for our week together was our field trip. Our learning intentions for this were: ELAL I can create written messages that align with an intended audience or purpose I can organize sentences in a logical sequence to create written messages I can collect ideas that are inspired by a variety of experiences I can apply creative thinking to create representation of messages I can include adjectives and adverbs to add interest and detail to writing I can use organizational tools to record or categorize information Science I can discuss ways to respect plants and animals while interacting in various environments.  I can explain positive and negative impacts of human b...

A highlight of our week was Fish Creek, our learning intentions for this were: I can: Discuss ways to respect plants and animals while interacting in various environments. Explain positive and negative impacts of human behaviour on plants and animals.  Represent the life cycles of various plants and animals. Discuss and compare life cycles of various plants and animals. Discuss how humans might interact with land, plants, and animals if they see land, plants, and animals as equals. Identify ways in which people show care for land, plants, and animals through cultural practices.  Signs of Spring! "The ice is melting." "Animal tracks, I think it is a bear waking up from hibernating." "T...
