Hi Parents,

Sorry about the very late blog post. 4L will be presenting their chapel this coming Friday. Please arrive to school earlier (8:15) and come directly to our class door. I’ll open up so we can have our props and costumes all prepared.

Many thanks and hope to see you there!

Hi Parents,

Here are few announcements to draw your attention to:

We will be carolling at Aberdeen Centre on Thursday, Dec 12th, between 1:30 – 2:30. Please feel free to join us and enjoy the festivities.

Class Party:

We will be having a class party on the last day of school (Friday, Dec 13th). Students are asked to bring something (snacks, drinks, paper cups, entrees, and veggies) to share. Please confirm with your child by writing your dish/contribution into your child’s planner. 

Thanks for your attention. I look forward to an awesome week before the holidays!

Mr. Lam

Please arrange for your child to be picked up at 2:45pm on those days.

Term 2 Clubs start on January 13^th.

Term 2 Switches: 

Starting next Wednesday, Dec 4th, students in grade 4 will be having music instead of PE. This means grade 4’s will be having music three times a week in the 2nd term.

Thanks!

Hi Class,

I’ve had a lovely time with you all the last few weeks. I’ve especially enjoyed discussing ideas about how to be a peacemaker in our War and Peace Perspectives Unit as well as talking about how to be a better caretaker of creation. Here are some of our highlights in photo form:

Remembrance Day Street Sign Scavenger Hunt

Mr. Lam Cloud & Mr. Lam

We started a plastic garbage tracker.

Hanging out with our kindergarten buddies

We read the story, “The Enemy” by Davide Cali, in which a soldier stubbornly fights a war because of false beliefs he has been taught by his general and war manual.

We were challenged to reflect on false beliefs we often hold towards people we don’t like.

False beliefs can be corrected if we choose to see others with grace.

We had two STEM Keva Planks challenges

Challenge 1: Balancing as many planks over the edge of a table. I think the class record is in the 30’s.

Challenge 2: Stacking as many planks on top of one plank standing up.

Hope you all have a restful weekend.

See you on Monday!
