Water Cycle Experiment

Mrs. Wright and Mr. Richardson (her student teacher) are teaching the kids about the water cycle.  Each student made their own and is able to observe evaporation as the sun warms the water as it shines through the window.  They will also notice 'rain' inside their bag as beads of water stick to the side.

Kindergarten Kids are Performing Soon

Highview PS is hosting a Fine Arts Night on Thursday April 30 from 6:30-8:30pm.  Families are invited to wander through the ALL the hallways and library (classrooms will be closed) and look at the amazing artwork that students have made.  Every student will be showcasing at least one piece.  Our artwork will be outside Kindergarten Pod, in the main hallway.  Upstairs, you will find artwork completed the older students and in the library the 3D pieces will be displayed as well as some artwork from the teachers. There will also be musical and drama presentations.  A schedule will be sent home shortly.

The Kindergarten students will be performing (singing) with the jazz band and Mrs. Halinaty's class in the gym.  Currently, they are slated to perform at 7:15.  Please stay tuned.

It is an amazing evening.  The school looks phenomenal with all the artwork on the walls.  Come and wander through the gallery with family, neighbours and friends.

Springtime Fun

Science fun

Mrs. Wright has been doing science experiments about water and rain in the class.  Today's experiment involved shaving cream, water and food colouring.   The students noticed how the food colouring went down to the bottom of the glass.  A follow up sheet went home.
