Outdoor music evening a great success!Our first full school outdoor band concert was a great success! The sun was shining, the students played a show full of great music, and there were smiles all around. Thank you to all who came out to support the Morris School Band Program and congratulations to the band students on a wonderful performance. Some June exams returnJune Exams return this week after a hiatus for the past two years. Students in Grades 11 & 12 will be writing between Monday and Thursday. A full schedule can be found below in the weekly calendar (This Week @ Morris School). We wish our students all the best in this important experience as it will prepare those students who plan to attend post-secondary institutions this year or next. Maverick track & field compete at Provincials!Ten of our Fourteen Mavericks who competed at last week's Zone IV Track & Field Championships qualified to participate at the Manitoba High Schools Athletic Championships (MHSAA) in Winnipeg this past weekend. Students from all high schools are eligible to compete if they met the qualifying standard set by the MHSAA. Highlights included many personal bests, some top ten finishes, and heat wins. A full summary of results will be posted in next week's blog. Another highlight for our students was getting their hands on the Zone IV Track & Field Championship banner they earned the week before! Way to Go, MAV's! Grade 7/8 Science students actively learnGrade 7/8S were measuring the mass and volume of different liquids in order to calculate their densities. Students measured the mass of their empty graduated cylinders first so that it could be subtracted when they weighed the cylinders with each liquid. Students divided the mass of each liquid by the volume in order to determine densities expressed in grams per millilitre. Students have also been learning about buoyancy and viscosity as a part of their fluids unit. Density is mass divided by volume: D=m/v. Students also calculated the volume of a solid ball of clay by immersing it in 150ml of water. The clay ball sank and the volume rose to 175.5ml. Thus the volume of the lump of clay was 25.5 ml. By pressing the ball of clay into a bowl shape they were able to displace enough water to make the clay float on the water, whereas it had sunk when it was in a ball. This is because the buoyant force is a function of the volume of water displaced! The shape of any object is very important when determining whether something floats or not. Way to Go, MAV's! access classroom complete world tour!The ACCESS class has traveled virtually all around the world this year. Our second last stop was Australia and Oceania. After learning about the geography of the region as well as its people and animals, we made Maori inspired dot art and Polynesian Tiki Masks. We celebrated the end of this unit with a delicious Polynesian lunch "luau". student leadership continue to give backThe Morris student leadership with the help of our maverick students were able to donate $1 100 to the Ukrainian. Special thanks to Unger Meats for supplying the meat at cost and for the many donations through our perogie farmer sausage lunch and the movie night. Way to go Mavs!!!! Special thanks to those that attended the Legion Decoration day at the legion epitaph and laid the wreath on behalf of the school student council. Pictures below K-4 Students encourages to contributeOur K-4 teachers have started a Kindness Rock Garden. Students and their families are encourage to contribute to the garden in the hopes that the garden and Kindness within our school will grow together.
