In social studies we continued to learn about Canada and the countries that are around us. 

In health we were discussing responsible decision-making, and how this is important in all areas of our lives.

In art we are drawing wetland animals. 

In gym we are continuing to develop skills in soccer.

 Hello Families

Tomorrow is a non-instructional day, so there is no school for the children.

This week we have continued to learn about data in math, exploring information on line graphs, Venn diagrams and pie charts. In literacy we have considered the interdependency of humans and animals through writing, producing posters for endangered animals and telling our own family story.  We are learning about Wetlands in science and have drawn different examples in art.  In social studies we discussed what it means to be a Canadian, and in health we have been discussing relationships.

Please make sure children have suitable shoes for gym, as we do this every day.  As it is getting colder in the mornings and with the changeable weather, students may need to have a sweater or coat with them.

Have a lovely long weekend.

Hello Families, 

This was our first week back to school, we were feeling happy and excited but also nervous. Fortunately, it turned out well!

We wrote about the best part of me and why.  In math we are learning about data management and graphing. We discussed  how to be respectful, focusing on class and school rules, such as mealtime manner, classroom courtesy and respect at recess. 

In class, we focused on keep socially distanced, wearing masks and sanitizing our hands. We also learned how to navigate the school following arrows, being respectful of others in the building. 

We have been learning how to draw trees and took our journals outside to draw the landscape around Cappy Smart.

This is a holiday weekend so all students will be back in school next Tuesday, September 8th. 

Have a lovely weekend.
