We had a great time at Junglesport! Each day got better and better, with more challenges added each time we visited. There was truly something for everyone, and they all came away tired after each session.
This week will also be a busy one! We have a number of events this week:
Monday is Faith Buddy Day. We will be teaming up with our Kinder partners to participate in activities that promote the Gospel Value of Love. We will watch a short video, read a book, then make a Kindness and Love Quilt (paper) with our Faith Buddies.
Also on Monday, we will be participant observers in the Grade 6 Saint Walk. Each Grade 6 student has researched the life of a Saint, and will take on the persona (in costume, even!) of that Saint in the gym on Monday afternoon. The students in our class will choose a Saint to sit in front of, listen to their story, and ask a question or 2, then move on to another. It is a very interesting activity.
On Tuesday, we have Zumba with Paco! From 2:40-3:30, the junior students will participate in this high-energy dance and exercise fun! Children are encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothing and make sure they have running shoes!
On Wednesday, the girls are supposed to have their Handball Tournament. However, we are expecting a really big snowstorm, so if it is a snowday, that will be cancelled. Miss Rhodes will also finish the bio poems she started with the Gr. 4 last week.
On Thursday, we have our Field Trip to the Museum of Science and Technology. Again, if it is a snowday, the trip will be cancelled. However, we are really hoping it isn't! Thank you to all of the parents who acquired the Police Check and are able to volunteer with us on the trip. We wouldn't be able to go without your help! We are really looking forward to a fun day! It is pizza day, but please pack a lunch for your child. Pizza will be waiting for your child when they return to school. We will also hand out Valentines and Report Cards, when we return to school.
Friday is a PD Day for all elementary students.
In the Report Card is a form for interviews. You are welcome to request an interview, should you wish to discuss your child's progress with any of his/her teachers. The teacher may also request an interview.
***Don't forget - Papa Jack Popcorn orders are due by Wednesday. Please see the flyer on the website, and order through Cash Online
