Happy New Year!

We have 2 upcoming field trips. We are still trying to pinpoint exact times but we are in need of volunteers if you are available the following days:


Visit to the Apple Store - Tuesday, February 18.

We also have a Pysanky egg workshop on February 6th. This is very volunteer heavy - the person running the workshop has asked for 1 adult per 4 children ideally. This will be approximately 90 minutes.

This Friday the Spanish class will start from 12 - 12:40 approximately. Siblings are allowed but students must make their own travel arrangements if they usually take the school bus. I would be grateful if parents could email me if their child is interested so that I may track attendance safe in the knowledge that alternative transport has been arranged. If I have not received confirmation from a parent or guardian, I will be sending the student home on the busses on Friday so as to avoid any confusion.

Today went extremely quickly!

- We had music with Madame Zdrill, Math with Madame Moreau and then we started our Gymnastics unit with M. Trevor.

In French we talked about what we did over the holidays and will continue that tomorrow.

While I didn't leave a clue for the GOTD on the blog, we looked at The Day of the Kings from Spain. Children attend processions from the 3 Wise Men/ Wise Kings and collect candy thrown out into the crowd. Children also leave their shoes by the door in hopes of waking to find presents inside them.

Our clue for tomorrow is related to our current science topic of sound: 
Which place sounds like a bird AND a snake depending on where you stand?

In science we talked about the horrendous fires in Australia and what is causing them.

We read another chapter of Granny.

In the afternoon we had art where we spoke about all the different colours in the sky at different times of the day : the rosy reds, pinks and yellows of dawn, or the purple and blues of an evening. We then created our own sky-inspired background and added a snowman to it.
