Our school celebrated Aboriginal Day on Friday. In the afternoon there was a teepee set up with many different kinds of dancing to watch. Gr 1's used this as an opportunity to do a few different aboriginal inspired activities. For Art we made dream catchers to catch our bad dreams. We also made bannock. As the bannock was cooking we headed outside to see the teepee and took in some hoop dancing. We watched a short dream catcher movie as we ate our bannock.

Due to the weather we had to move our Gr 1 Run Jump Throw inside on Thursday. It didn't end up raining however we erred on the side of caution and stayed indoors. The kids seemed to have a ton of fun working on taught skills at 10 different centres. A huge thank you to all of the parent volunteers who came out and helped to make the event a success!

As the end of the year approaches, it seems like the days go by even faster! This morning we had the Miss Macskill's Kindergarten kids join us for some Daily 5. We used this as an opportunity for the Grade 1's to be leaders and for the K kids to see the space before they transition to Grade 1 next year.
In the afternoon we were able to s eak over to the splash park for a quick 20 minute cool down! The kids seemed to quite enjoy it! We will try to sneak over on Thursday as well however they are forecasting for rain. We do have our Grade 1 swim on Monday at the pool so I am encouraging kids to keep their swimsuits at the school over the weekend. If you'd like your child's sent home please just leave me a note in the agenda! Thanks! Starting tomorrow we will be creating dream rooms using our shoe boxes. This is part of our Building Things Science unit. The kids have been asked to bring in any materials that they would like to recycle as parts of their rooms. We are not asking for any store bought items as the kids need to use their creativity to build bedroom items. Can't wait to see how they turn out!
There has been a scheduling conflict with the pool so we have had to change our Grade 1 Year End swim to an alternate date and time. Do not hesitate to contact any of the Grade 1 teachers with questions or concerns. Please note the following changes:
Grade 1 Year End Swim now on- MONDAY, JUNE 22 from 10:10 am - 12:oo pm. The June Newsletter is now online. Please find it under the Newsletter tab.
