Week 32!

Check out the newest contestant in the book tournament.

Everyone was sufficiently grossed out by this one!

It was Bus Driver Appreciation Day on Monday so we made thank you cards for our bus drivers.

Through the Artist In Residence program we had a wonderful visit from the author Richard Van Camp.

 Here are some of the books he has written.

 Check out these smarty pants who earned their banana splits!

We will be enjoying our banana split party this week.

 We went to the Winspear Centre in Edmonton to listen to the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.  

 Now that the weather is cooperating we were able to get outside to enjoy spring!

 We had more artist show off their drawing skills in Junior Options on early out Wednesday.

 We used the excuse of a practice fire drill to enjoy some of our beautiful spring weather.

 We had a great time learning about bugs on Friday.

We can not do these activities without the support of our volunteers.  Thank you so much to those people who came out to help us.

Week 31!

A huge thank you to all our wonderful volunteers!

We heard some beautiful singing from the choir after the volunteer appreciation breakfast this week!

 We enjoyed the sound of handbells too.

 Finally we heard the chimes.

 What an amazing job by these awesome singers!

 These are the competitors for the book tournament this week.  Our class voted for If you Ever Want to Bring an Alligator to School, Don't but we will have to wait to find out which book will move on to the next round in the tournament.

 For Earth Day we read The Lorax and worked on Cause and Effect.

 Another smarty pants earned their Banana Split this week.

 We made art with recycled materials this week as we honoured Earth Day.

Week 30!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Christ is risen!  Alleluia! 

Each student received an Easter egg on their return to class after the Easter break.

 We made crosses to celebrate Easter when we returned to school.

We watched An Easter Carol which return the story of Easter and we compared it to another familiar story, A Christmas Carol.

 We made a human thermometer in science. 

 We had to work together to put ourselves in order.

 Here is our human thermometer.

 More students earned their banana splits this week!

 We had to take science outdoors this week to complete a spring scavenger hunt to prepare for Earth Day and our new science unit  about small living things.

 

We also discussed ways to protect our environment. 

 Students brought home this note about yearbooks this week.

 We ended our week with a beautiful mass at Our Lady of the Angels church in the morning...

and a lovely musical concert in the afternoon.
