More Drama and the Cross Country Event Rescheduled

Cross Country Running

As the weather did not cooperate this past week, we ended up having to reschedule the Cross Country Running event and picnic lunch to next week, once again on Wednesday, May 26th. So far, the forecast is calling for sunny skies so hopefully, it works out this time around! Please remind your child to pack all of the necessary things for the event.

Student-Led Conferences

Next week, the Grade 3 students will be preparing for their Student-Led Conferences which will be held the following week with their parents online via Zoom. Please see the link that was sent to you via email.

Sports Day Video

Grades 3 and 4 held their Sports Day competition during their PE lessons a couple weeks ago, to see all the highlights and excitement please watch this video from Mr. Waite.

Vocal Theatre

In our inquiry into drama, we inquired into three types of performances that require some acting with your voice: Readers' Theatre, Kamishibai, and Japanese stand-up comedy - Manzai! The students broke into their own groups and chose their own stories to tell! Some translated scripts, while others were focused on creating their own artwork, or modified stories to feature some of their favourite characters. I will try to share some videos of these next week. While you wait for the videos, please check out some photos of the students busy at work.

Measuring Area

In math, the students have been using their new knowledge of multiplication to help them calculate the surface area of different objects or places such as our classroom.

Videos of Stomp Performances from Last Week

As promised, here are the videos from the STOMP-inspired routines that the grades 3 and 4 students created last week. The basketball group has been waiting to reshoot their video so that it includes all 6 members, but student absences and rainy weather prevented that from happening this week. Hopefully, they will have the chance to record it again next week. In the meantime, please enjoy this version. I will update it when it is ready.
