Happy Friday Families,

This week we have been learning about Terry Fox.  We used what we learned to write about our heroes.  A hero is someone who is a survivor, ordinary, someone who helps, creative, fun, someone who motivates you to do what you love, and is a fighter (in a good way). We finished off the week by participating in our own Terry Fox Run.  We ran over 1 and a half kilometers this morning.

We learned about Orange Shirt Day as well this week. We spent time with Ms. Watkins and she helped us learn about the meaning behind Orange Shirt Day. We read Shi-Shi Etko and When I was Eight to help us learn and understand more about Residential Schools and Reconciliation. We made our own memory bags and drew pictures of what is most important to us, as well, we wrote about how we might feel if we had to leave our families. 

In math we have learned about probability.  We use words to help us: likely, unlikely, equally likely, certain, impossible, possible. We were able to make our own spinners and come up with our own data to help us.

In art we drew our heroes, gorillas and canoes. We were able to draw our own shirt and it helped us talk about what school should be like.

We play a lot of non contact tag games in Phys. Ed.  Next week we will be doing other fun activities both inside and outside depending on the weather.

In health we are learning about feelings and how they impact us others around us.

We had our first practice/fire drill this week as well.  We did fabulous.

To finish off every afternoon we share about our favorite part of the day in our circle time.

Have a great weekend and stay tuned for more next week.
