Happy Fathers' Day

to all the special Division 6 fathers!  We hope you like the soapstone carvings.  Did your children manage to keep them a secret?  Can you read the message below?

Happy Anniversary and Congratulations!

Gerry and Molly will celebrate their 70th wedding anniversary this week!  Gerry received an award at City Hall this past week.

The students made a large card for them.

Obstacle Course

Working in pairs, the students designed obstacle courses.  Often, when an energy break is needed, a pair of students lead the others through their obstacle course.

Congratulations Brady and David!

The Last Spike

After studying the construction of the CPR and its importance to Canada as a nation, the students reenacted the moment when the last spike was driven in.  Each took on the role of a major figure present at that time and delivered a speech in which he introduced himself, stated his importance in the project and the importance of the CPR to Canada and BC.  Finally a photograph was taken, similar to the famous photo -The Last Spike.  In most cases, the students chose to dress for the part, use black and white film, and to look serious.  Ask your child why people in old photographs always look serious.

Pizza Art - Fun, Creative, and Yummy

Thank you parents for your support with this!  The students had everything they needed, and they worked well in teams.  Thank you Christine and Vanessa for helping in the kitchen and classroom during the pizza making.

Helping in Gerry's Garden

The students were happy to plant bee friendly flowerss in Gerry's Garden.  The plants were given to us by the Canadian Wildlife Fund because we have helped to create a certified wildlife friendly habitat.

Voici les élèves

The students created posters au français and presented them.

Young Actors Program (YAP)

The students enjoyed using their voices, body language, and facial expressions to communicate and role play.  Sometimes they were given time to plan and practise.  Other times they had to improvise.  Tia was a great director.

Information from Your Music Teacher

Mrs. Leslie asked me to forward this information.

Hi there,

As a supplement to the many in-school instrument demos that have been done this spring on the North Shore, Tom Lee Music is hosting an additional event in our North Vancouver store location (801 Marine Drive) and inviting ALL elementary students that are considering joining band for the 2018-19 school year.  We will have some guest musicians do a presentation and then allow participants to try out the instruments for themselves.  We will also be providing snacks and prizes for attendees.

This is a great opportunity especially for students who may not have had a chance to participate in the event at their school, or for students that would like to try out additional instruments, or even those who just want to do it all over againJ.

The event will be happening on Saturday, June 3^rd from 1:00pm until about 3:30

Hope to see you there!
