The students have taken on the role of entrepreneur as they have been working on creating their own food trucks. We began by looking at food trucks within our own city, discussing the different names and logos. The students found that they were drawn to some logos more than others. We then came up with concepts for our own food trucks. The students experimented with different truck types, names and logos. They then did some market research, surveying their peers before selecting their final design.

We then began working on developing our menus. The students worked to included a variety of descriptive language to make their menu more appealing to their customers. We had signature sauces drizzled on crispy chicken tenders, homestyle sesame crusted buns and hand pressed beef patties! We then researched food truck prices in Calgary to price our own menus.

Next week, we integrate math into the project by creating our three dimensional truck and calculating the area and perimeters of our truck interiors.

Despite the rain, the grade fours had a fantastic time on our field trip to Heritage Park. It was wonderful to experience all of our learning in Social Studies first hand. We sheltered from the rain in a tipi, felt beaver pelts as we learned about the fur trade and rode a train like the ones that helped to make settlement in the West possible. Seeing the first settler homes, the "soddies", homes that housed families with sixteen children and sandstone buildings helped the students to better understand what life was like for early settlers. Most are happy that they are able to go to a school with hundreds of students and one grade per classroom rather than a one room schoolhouse of the past!

It was a very exciting day at Andrew Sibbald today. It is hard to believe that today the school participated in its 19th Big Brave Event. It was incredible to see so many students participating this year. The students were able to raise over $73 000 for The Big Brave. Today's event was such a fantastic celebration of the students hard work. Their efforts will help to send over 500 children to Camp Kindle. A huge thank you to all the families who helped to make this event a success.

They showed positive teamwork as they encouraged one another to achieve a common goal. We were excited to finish off the week with our pancake breakfast and sports day.
