Working in the Computer Lab

The boys and girls were hard at work today typing up their creative writing stories for Writers Workshop and their Earth Day Poems. Enjoy the photos!

Author Visit on 6th May

Dear Parents,

The grade 5's will be going to the Kay Meek Theatre on the afternoon of Thursday 6th May to hear the Canadian author, Shane Peacock, speak. The children must be dressed in their #1 uniforms for the trip. There is no change to pick up time--we will be back at Wentworth for regular dismissal.

Thank you and I hope you enjoy the lovely evening!

Science Fair

What a successful Science Fair! The children were so proud to display their Science Fair Projects to all the parents. I was impressed with how eager they were to talk about their experiments and share their hypotheses and findings. Many thanks for coming last night to make it such a fantastic event.

Vancouver Art Gallery and a few reminders

Welcome back, everyone! We have already had a very busy first few days back from the holidays. Yesterday, we went on a fantastic outing to the Vancouver Art Gallery. The children had a guided tour of the Leonardo da Vinci exhibit, "The Mechanics of Man" and the contemporary exhibit entitled "Visceral Bodies". All three docents that led our groups were extremely knowledgeable and adept at engaging the children in the various works of art. Many thanks to Anita, Claudia, Katherine, Cathy, and Carolyn for being group leaders and being so incredibly helpful!

The next few weeks are quite busy so the following is a list of upcoming events/dates to remember:
-Thursday 15th April (tomorrow) Grade 5 Science Fair from 5-6pm in the Grade 5 classrooms and hallway
-Thursday 22nd April Earth Day Civvies-children to wear civvies and bring a toonie to support the "Build a School in India" Fundraiser
-Wednesday 28th-Friday 30th April Grade 5 Camp at Camp Squeah
