The Drum

Mrs. Murray had two groups of Grade 6 students doing a presentation called , "The Drum."  If your child is in this class ask them about the moral of the story.

I hope that you all take some time to chat with your children tonight.  Take advantage of the opportunities that you have to find out how things are going for them at school.  I trust that you will have a great night.

Reading group and apple math



Ms. Carsky was working with a reading group when I stopped by this morning.  The students read, wrote and coloured. I had a chance to listen to one of the students read to me.

In Ms. Moul's class they were doing apple math.  If your child is in this class ask them about their apple math.

Until later.

Blues Berries Entertain


The Blues Berries presented a History of Rock and Roll to our students, along with students from Langdale.  It was an excellent performance and our students even got a chance to do some dancing at the end of the show. It was good fun.....and educational.

Relaxing weekend


We had a chance to get up to Whistler for Thanksgiving and had a relaxing weekend.  We saw this furry creature while on a bike ride.

I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving Weekend!

Primary Choir

Mr. Sullivan playing the role of a turkey.

Mrs. Klan teaching a new song.
Mrs. Klan organizes Primary Choir, which we have every other Friday.  The students were singing a Gobble Gobble song when I was in the gym-- "Turkeys  like Thanksgiving," was one of the lines of the song.  If your child is in K-3 you may want to ask them to sing it to you.

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I hope that you all have a chance to spend some quality time with your families.

Enjoy the long weekend.

Until later,

Mr. H

Student PE Mentors

Ball Skills
I have had the opportunity to work with some of Mrs. Fitchell's class developing some leadership skills.  One of the things we are working on is helping out kindergarten students in a PE class.  Today was a great opportunity for them to practice teaching skills to each other and then try it out with the Ks.  They did a fabulous job!
