Assembly this Wednesday and Highlights from the Suma Rikyu Trip

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported school by volunteering and helping out at Oktoberfest. It was a great day and I had a lot of fun being MC.

Our first unit of the year recently came to an end and the students decided to take their new understanding of how to get along with others and put their newly learnt problem solving skills to work by helping others solve their problems. To find others with problems, they searched for Fairy Tale characters who typically face a lot of conflict. Once they chose a Fairy Tale, then they worked in small groups and identified the characters involved in the conflict as well as the reason for the conflict. Once they could identify the characters and the problem, they then went about brainstorming ways that the characters to resolve their conflicts in a friendlier way. They rewrote or modified fairy tale scripts. They will act out their plays at the Grade 2 assembly on this Wednesday, October 23rd. Please come join us in MPR at 3:00pm.

Suma Rikyu Field Trip
Last Friday, the school children went on our annual school trip before Oktoberfest. Once again this year, we went to Suma Rikyu Park. The weather forecast was calling for rain, but lucky for us, it turned out to be fine! The students had a great time climbing, swinging, then sliding around. Please enjoy the video highlights of the trip.
