This term in Science, students will learn about Earth and Space Sciences, specifically how the earth’s surface changes overtime as a result of natural processes and human activity. Students will be encouraged to make predictions and describe patterns and relationships. 

This term in Inquiry, students  will explore the world of primary sources, learning how to identify their origin and content features, which will allow students to gain a deeper understanding of the significance of various historical figures, places, and events.
