Learning About Healthy Choices

Nursing students from BCIT presented a Health Fair for Grades 4 to 6.  There were four interactive
stations with varying topics.

 

Farewell to Ms. McEwen, our Student Teacher

Thank you Parents who sent treats and to everyone for sending flowers.  We had a nice celebration, and I know Ms. McEwen really appreciated the beautiful bouquet and the booklet with messages from the children.

Ask your child to show the personalized message Ms. M. wrote for him/her.

We will miss Ms. McEwen.  She was hard working, creative, dedicated, and caring!

A Visit from the Asahikawa Student Band

We were treated to an amazing performance by this group of Japanese highschool students.  Not only did they play their instruments very well, but choreographed movements, costumes, dance, singing (in English), and even blindfold playing was included.

After the concert, a few Japanese students joined each class and taught origami (without being able to speak English).  A fun and interesting challenge for all of us.

A Rainy Day, Mud, and an Opportunity to Create Food - What Could be more Fun?

The Grade 4/5s helped plant dwarf fruit trees in front of our school yesterday.  Thank you Nicole, who delivered and helped us plant these gifts from  Evergreen.  You may have been surprised to see how eager many of your children were to work.  When we come back after the break, the trees will hopefully be blossoming.  A variety of types of apples will be ready to be eaten next fall. 

Who Says Math Isn't Fun?

At the SNAP Math Fair at Capilano University the students worked to solve a variety of mathematical puzzles and challenges.  They had fun and experienced a lot of success.

 

Our Field Trip to AFK

If you haven't visited the new Artists for Kids Gallery, it is worth the time.  The space is larger and there are many new pieces of art.  The students seemed to enjoy the "march" to and from the gallery and were very engaged while there.  They made very thoughtful observations and asked "thinking" questions about the art and artists.  When you come for interviews next week, make sure you look at the artwork in the front hall by the office.  The students' works were inspired by the art at the AFK.
