Thank you!

The grade 5 students enjoyed a morning of exploring Properties of and Changes in Matter by conducting experiments.  A special thank you to Mrs. Medland Spence who shared her expertise with the class!

The grade 6's will be researching and reporting on Space.  They received their project outlines yesterday.  The project is due on February 8th.

HELMETS

Please be sure to bring a helmet on Mondays and Thursdays so that we can participate in sledding and skating during outdoor gym.
Bicycle helmets are no longer accepted as safe winter activity gear as they often do not fit correctly when placed over a hat.  Many sports stores are running sales at the moment and you can find ski or hockey helmets for around $35.  Also check "Play it Again Sports" or similar facilities if you'd like to pick up a used helmet for less.
The class will be sledding on Mondays and skating on Thursdays.  Sledding will begin this coming Monday and we will need to wait for the skating rink to open before we can skate.

We're looking forward to a safe and happy outdoor winter season!

Happy New Year!

Welcome back to class!  I trust that everyone had a safe and relaxing holiday.
We are joined today by 4 new grade 5 students.  Malika has come from the United States and, for the month of January, we are honoured to be visited by 3 Korean students. Everyone has been working hard today to make the transition for our new students a comfortable and welcoming one!
