April Showers bring May flowers? Let’s hope so!

Thank you for sending your children prepared for the weather. The forecast looks like we can look forward to warmer temperatures next week so we can get outside and begin some outdoor learning lessons!

Whale Study

We have been learning about whales in our classroom. When you visit you will see some of the activities that we have been working on.

Did you know that a blue whale is 22 kids long? We measured the length of a blue whale by lying down in our hallway!

Burnaby Art Gallery Workshop: Forest for the Trees

Julia, from the Burnaby Art Gallery, visited our classroom and shared various artists’ representations of trees. We then participated in an art activity where we created a tree silhouette against the sky.

Earth Day

We have been learning about ways that we can take care of the Earth (including reducing, reusing, and recycling) as we lead up to Earth Day on April 22.

Reminder: School is closed for students on Monday April 24 for a Pro-D Day.

Have a lovely weekend!
