Scenes from Our Last Day Together!

We danced outside with our reading buddies outside!

We said goodbye to Mrs. Gorman whose last day was today as she is retiring! 

We got a visit from Lakota's little 3 week-old sister!

Enjoyed some popsicles in the hot summer sun!

Thank you for all the wonderful memories, 3W! Have a safe and happy summer full of adventures!

WONDER-filled Afternoon

The movie was riveting (as seen by the faces below) and the popcorn delicious. We will finish watching the last 15 minutes of Wonder tomorrow!

Coding Island

Mr. Pope and his Grade 4 students invited the Grade 3 students to play a coding navigation game this morning - it was lots of fun!

Third Last Day...

The students assembled their portfolios this morning and Cameron sure did look dapper for his big brother's grad! Tomorrow afternoon, we will watch the movie Wonder as I have been reading this novel to the class over the past month and a half. Hopefully, some of the students will take the book out of the library this summer to complete it. The book is wonderful to read together with an adult and generates a lot of discussions about kindness, compassion and strength of character! I highly recommend it as a family read!

Week at a Glance

Sprinkler Fun!

The kids had a blast this afternoon at Winterwood Park! Hopefully we can squeeze in another visit at some point next week!

Winterwood Outing!

A reminder that tomorrow afternoon, the Grade 3 classes will be going to Winterwood Park adjacent to the school to play at the park and frolic at the splashpad! Please sign and return the permission form with your child tomorrow. Those students who wish to use the sprinklers are asked to bring their swimsuits and towels!

Dance Machines!

The students have been working hard on their dances this week. They have picked their songs and have been practising their moves. Many of their dances are so involved that the students have written the names of their moves on chart paper to help learn and remember them. Mrs. Frangione's students help to inspire us today by performing their dances for us. We will return the favour either this Friday (if ready) or next week. The Grade 2's are keen to see our completed dances as well!

School of Dance!

Lisa Brooks from the Ottawa School of Dance visited us today and led the students in a workshop about movement. The students learned about tall, tiny, twisted and wide poses and moved their bodies in a variety of creative way to music. We will continue our exploration of dance and movement over the next couple of weeks!
