Hello Families,

This week we finished off our study of light and shadow in science with hands on activities to enhance our understanding. Talking of science, on November 7th we are taking our first Field Trip to TELUS Spark; we will be looking for volunteers, so if you have a current police check in place, please save the date! In math we started our work on division using manipulatives. We created some super inclusive art after reading Todd Parr's book, Love the World and had a wonderful conversation about what inclusion means and what it should look like in our school. As we approached the holiday weekend, the children designed their own holiday. I was blown away by the conversations we had, which resulted in some excellent writing capturing their ideas about a global holiday for children. They wanted to make sure all children around the world had access to food, an education, clothes and a safe place to live. You should be so proud! 
The children are definitely ready for a well-deserved break, and we look forward to seeing them all again on Monday October 21st. 
Thank you, Libby Coldbeck
