In light of the weather forecast for tomorrow, Track and Field has been postponed until Monday, June 4. Please remember that we will be outside all day so send your child prepared with plenty to drink, sunscreen, a hat, etc. Good luck to all athletes on Monday!

Classes in our school were challenged for Earth Week to create a sculpture made from recycled materials based on concepts in the curriculum for that grade. Our class chose to base our sculpture on the theme of respect for the earth that was such a focal point of our trip to Earthkeepers in April. Our hard work planning, designing, creating and painting our sculpture paid off as we were the competition winners for the junior division! Ask your child to describe our creation, which was truly a team effort. Well done Grade 5!

* A reminder that our Social Studies test on Early Civilizations takes place on Thursday, May 24. All handouts should have now gone home to help students study for this test so check with your child if you have not yet seen literature or summary sheets covering all topics listed on the review that was sent in Home Folders on May 11.

 

* We will try to fit in another visit to the public library before the month comes to an end. Depending on the weather forecast for next week, we will attempt to make this trip on either Tuesday, May 29 or Wednesday, May 30.
