A Chilly Track and Field Day

Despite the weather, the grade 5's seemed to have a great time at their first track and field meet! The weather didn't hold back the competition, and everyone did well in all of their events. A reminder that high jump has been postponed until tomorrow morning due to the weather. All students that placed first or second in their events will be talking to Mr. S and Mrs. Brown in the very near future to discuss cities with them. Great participation everyone!

5M is a Class of Busy Bees!

It is getting to be a busy time of year in 5M! There are many activities and events that have taken place and many more to come in the upcoming weeks! We started off the week by participating in a Community Clean Up - where students from the school cleaned up streets around our school. By the time we returned to the school, we had 4 full garbage bags! Great job 5M! As a thank you to students we had a pancake breakfast the following morning.

Today we had a Canadian Geography Challenge Game Show with all of the 4-6 students. 3 students from each class were put on a 4-6 team and were asked Canadian Trivia questions. Our representatives were Kailey, Haylee and Jayden. They all did a great job and we had a fantastic time watching you!

Due to the busy time of year, we have stepped away from our routines such as spelling and facts. Next week is a 4 day week, with our LVS track meet on Thursday which will be a great experience and I'm really looking forward to it. We have also dedicated a lot of our class time for practicing the musical which will be in the evening on May 29th. It's a busy time and the kids and myself are enjoying our last remaining weeks together.

5M French Poetry Winners!

This past week we had 6 of our students compete at the French Poetry Competition held at EAMS. Kailey Banfield, Haylee Fedorchuk, Tabitha Onigbinde, Jayden Peterson, Arthur Gladue and Jesse Lacroix competed against 30 other 5/6 students in the division. All of the students did an amazing job saying their poems in front of the judges as well as a room full of people. Mrs. Vanstone and myself are so proud of these students not only for their performances, but also how they represented our school and class; they were a class act from start to finish. We managed to clean out the competition with Jesse winning 3rd place, and Haylee winning 1st place! Haylee will move on to represent our division in Winnipeg. Congratulations to all who competed, we couldn't be more proud of all of you!

Happy Spring Break!

The kids participated in a number of Spirit Week and Numeracy activities this week. We watched the Minute to Win It Staff Edition, the Jr. High students play the teachers in basketball, we participated in an awesome Gym Blast with new equipment, a math filled afternoon and we watched the Jr.High's duct tape fashion show and finished the week by putting pies in my face! It was a great week and I look forward to seeing everyone after the break!

French Activity Day!

The kids had a fantastic day yesterday participating in our school's French Activities Day. Students took part in 10 stations which included: eating bannock and pea soup, relay races, face painting, an obstacle course, tug of war, a sleigh ride, leg wrestling, stories with a Voyageur, arm wrestling, jigging, and observing France's national sport, soccer, played between the 6-8 students against the teachers. 

The day was engaging and the students seemed to have a fantastic day. It seemed as though the tug of war and challenging the teachers to arm wrestling and leg wrestling were the highlight of the day for most students!

A huge thanks to Mrs. Heppner, Miss Blight, and Mr. Peters for all of their hard work planning the day!
