Hello Families, 

We have had a lovely first week of March, not only with the improving weather. but also with the exciting learning taking place. 

In literacy we planned and completed our visual storyboards. Take a look on IRIS to see your child's work. In math we continued to focus on money, adding, subtracting ands pending! We will be working on word problems next week, as this is something all children find challenging. We looked at how the weather affects us in science, as well as how human actions affect the weather.

We created reflective art as we continue to focus on the creative style of Indigenous artist Jason Carter. Students drew a bear walking on water, reflected in a frozen lake. In health we are focusing on how we see ourselves as we examine the influence of others and how that impacts us. In social studies we explored the different animals that live in the regions of our beautiful province, and started to create a Slides presentation of the regions we are studying. 

In gym we played cooperative games, and did a great job of cooperating!! The children are getting so fast, and found it hilarious when I joined in - hopefully I surprised a few of them with a quick burst of speed :)

Nation Vision visited the school and carried out eye tests on some of our students. We are always grateful when service providers are prepared to come into our building and offer free services for our students.

Next Thursday and Friday are Parent Conferences. Please make sure to go on-line and book an appointment with me, as I would welcome the opportunity of discussing your child's progress with you.

It's looking set to be a fabulous weekend, weather-wise, so please enjoy :)
