Thanks to the Lake Bonavista Green Team for their assembly on composting today! We are going to try our best to cut our waste, and use the recycling bin, refundables bin and composting container to become a greener school!
This week in Phys. Ed. students had the opportunity to explore the sport of curling through our visiting Rocks and Rings program. Everyone was excited to learn some new skills, and even develop some strategies for scoring points. Thank you to our Active Living Committee, and School Council, for organizing and sponsoring this program.
As a class, we were inspired by the book "Sometimes I Feel Like a Fox" by Danielle Daniel to explore how we could write about the animals of our own masks. You can watch the story here with your child: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8TgzzX9ZhI Students contributed to brainstorm webs of adjectives and verbs, later using them to create a short, descriptive piece of writing that reflected their understanding of the animal they chose, in the style of the story.
We used our texture paper from the time with Mrs. Stables to create a background for our writing and folktale. Students learned about background and foreground in order to create a layered piece of art, maximizing the use of their paper.
We look forward to sharing our work with you at conferences on March 22nd and 23rd. Conference bookings open Wednesday, March 14th.
As we make room for our own masks, masks from home were returned today. Thank you to all the families who sent examples in for us to explore!
March Scholastic book orders went home this week. They are due Wednesday, March 14th if you would like to order. Cheques or online payment only please.
Have a wonderful warm weekend everyone!
