Science
Ms. Sharpe came in and talked to us about how drumming is important in the Siksika Nation. She talked about how the drum is made as well as how the beat mimics the rhythm of the heartbeat. 
Sandra, an audiologist, came to our classrooms and showed us the model of an ear and talked about the different parts. She talked about how people have a hearing loss and how technology has helped them.

Physical Education

Students learned the volleyball skills from an expert this week. They learned the skills such as volley, set, bump, and spike.
