Thank you!

Dear 5S,

I just wanted to thank you ALL for such a wonderful year. Thank you for all your hard work and enthusiasm. I will miss you and look forward to seeing you next year as Grade 6's. I hope you have a fantastic break.

Grade 5 Party

Good times were had by all at the Grade 5 Year End Party. The fun kicked off with a delicious bbq, followed by games in the gym with the PE teachers. The grand finale was the dance dj-ed by our very own RJ! Everyone had a wonderful time and many thanks to Bella's mum, Arran's mum, and Madison's mum for arranging the food and helping with the party.

Cafe Concert

Today we had the French Cafe Concert in 5S. Mme Kaiser and the boys and girls worked exceptionally hard to prepare for the spectacular show. Here are some photos of the performance (note: my camera battery ran out during the third skit; many apologies if your child is not shown!)

Quick Reminder

This is just a reminder that the children must bring their #1 uniform for the opening of the Telfer Wing. They will still have gym in the morning so they can bring their #1 uniform to change into. Many thanks!

Sports Day!

We still had a fantastic Sports Day today despite the extremely wet weather this morning! The children had loads of fun in the gym with the favourite activity by far being the tug-of-war. We had a lovely hot dog lunch afterwards. Enjoy the photos!

Community Day 2010

The students in 5S danced in Wednesday's assembly to promote Community Day 2010, which is this Saturday 5th June. They wore the official school t-shirt for Community Day which represents the the theme "The World is Changing Hands". The boys and girls were fantastic and they really got their fellow students to get excited about Community Day this year.

ROCK!

Wow! What a performance!! I know I was dancing in my seat :) The boys and girls' performance of ROCK was outstanding and their efforts should be highly commended. Well done, everyone. Here are some photos of the dress rehearsal--enjoy!

Whole School Photo on Monday

Dear Parents,

This is just a reminder that the children must wear their #1 uniform on Monday (31st May) for the whole school photograph. Many thanks in advance!

Canadian Government and "Close-Up" Art Display

Here are some photos of our latest classroom displays. The children have been working hard studying the three levels of Canadian Government. A recent art project involved looking at extremely close-up images from the Nikon Small World Gallery http://www.nikonsmallworld.com/gallery/year/2005/9 and drawing them using pencil sketching and pencil crayons. Enjoy!

Making Naan Bread

Yesterday, Derek's mum came into 5S and led the children in making naan bread. This activity links in directly with our study of the novel, "The Breadwinner". We had an excellent discussion surrounding naan bread and how it would be made and consumed in Afghanistan. The children enjoyed making and eating the bread! Many thanks to Cathy for leading this activity.
