🧪 Viscosity Fun in Miss Clark’s Class! 🧪
Miss Clarke’s and Mrs. McLachlin's students rolled up their sleeves today for a hands-on science experiment all about viscosity! Students predicted, tested, and compared how different liquids flow, observing which ones moved quickly and which ones moved sloooowly.
There was lots of curiosity, great discussion, and plenty of “aha!” moments as they explored the fascinating world of fluid dynamics.
Amazing job, scientists! 🔬✨
We had such a great day at SJM with Miss Snake, who won Principal for the Day earlier this year! She enjoyed leading a fun-filled pyjama day, watching a movie or playing Blooket with her classmates, and encouraging our teachers to find fun ways of incorporating 6–7 throughout the day!
Our future is bright with amazing leadership like she displayed today! 💙

Today, students from Lambton College’s Fire Science program visited Sir John Moore to share their expertise with our classes. They presented on a variety of important topics, including fire safety, creating a home escape plan, and identifying hot and cold objects.
