Welcome Back!
Welcome to Grade 6! What a wonderful first day. To start the day off we all shared stories from our summer vacation. The students had an opportunity to provide input for the classroom rules. As a group we wrote and signed the Classroom Essential Agreement. The first unit of inquiry activity was a STEM challenge. Using only tape, 25x balloons and one sheet of presentation board for a base, the students participated in the Balloon Tower Challenge. The aim was to create the tallest tower out of balloons. Well done!

The first-place team built 86-inch (2.18 m) tall tower and received 500 house points!

The second-place team built a 67-inch (1.7 m) tower.

The height of the third tower was 59-inch (1.5 m).

Superb job everyone!
