Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum

We had a wonderful time at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum today. Grade 6s were very knowledgeable when questioned about the properties of air, Bernoulli’s Principle, forces of flight, and the movement of planes caused by controllable surfaces. We were lucky to get the opportunity to see planes such as the Lancaster bomber and others being moved about the museum. We even got to board the DHC-5A Buffalo and heard about the nine Canadian men who were killed while trying to deliver food to hungry people.

For tomorrow’s class, students are reminded to bring their devices. The following homework is due tomorrow: alliteration and metaphors worksheets, analysis of ‘The Flying Machine’ and background research on the characteristics of paper planes that fly the farthest.

Students are reminded that they will be writing a math unit test tomorrow.

After-care payments are past today and interest is accruing. The lunch ordering system for December is open.

There is gym class tomorrow.
