Mr. Vanlerberg's class has been enjoying all the features of the LIVE IT program. 

Our November Celebration of Learning Assembly was a great time to see what is happening in each classroom! We reviewed our code of conduct and watched an award winning short film on kindness. It is surprising how when you are kind to others, by giving deeply of ourselves, we receive so much in return. 

Our makerspace activities continue this year! Tools and projects have been taken into classrooms for direct classroom instruction. Additionally, our lunch time makerspace club has begun, and students are able to work on their projects over the break. There are lots of fun things being built in this space!

Students have been having so much fun playing in the snow during their breaks! There has been sledding, fort building, and many other kinds of outdoor play. 

It has been a welcome addition to the playground!

Please remember to send your child with appropriate outdoor clothes so they can always join in.

Our primary classes are always a buzz of activity! Students are playing to learn through centres, games, blocks and activities. 

There is always something interesting to see and do!

Our sewing lunch club has launched! Each day different learning groups have a turn at learning sewing skills. Some are learning hand sewing, while others may be learning to complete small projects or use the machines. We are seeing some great creativity come out of that room already! Watch for some pajamas to come home at some point!

Ms. Berk and Mrs. MacInnis' class have been busy with literacy!

Every morning there are stories to share, games to play, and writing to practice. Students rotate through centres to practice their skills with our support team. They are making great progress!

Mr. Caulford's class has been doing a literacy unit on Mr. Man stories. They have learned about the characteristics of the Mr. Men and all the components of good story writing. They know that a story needs characters, a plot, a problem and a solution. 

Students are now putting their skills to work by putting on shadow puppet plays.

Congratulations to Mrs. MacInnis for winning the Take Me Outside School Challenge!

We have set up our first worm composter in Ms Shamim and Mr Grays room.

We seeded it with 1.5 pounds of worms.

Prior experience tells Mr. Dando that this bin will be operating to full capacity within two weeks to a month. It will absorb all class based compost and also all paper used in the class(shredded).
