The excitement is in the air and Kindergarten is about to begin!! We mailed out our Kindergarten Gradual Entry packages on August 15th. Ms Shuster and I are very much looking forward to meeting all of our new parents and Kindergartens during the first week of school.
If you need a copy of the supply list, please click the Tips & Resources tab at the top of this page.
Enjoy the last days of your summer holiday!
We enjoyed watching our caterpillars as they ate and ate and ATE and got bigger & bigger & BIGGER!! Then they formed chrysalides and emerged as beautiful Painted Lady Butterflies! On Monday, we were very excited to release our butterflies so they could spread their wings and explore our neighbourhood!

In Science this term, we learned about animals that live under the sea! We read many fictional & non-fictional books, we made beautiful artwork and finally we visited the Vancouver Aquarium.

After touring the Aquarium in small groups with our parent volunteers we ate lunch in the park and investigated the beach! Then we got to go to the Aquarium classroom and learn more about the wonderful animals that live in the oceans of British Columbia.

According to the BC government – children from Kindergarten to Grade 3 should no longer sit in chairs. It seems they are bad for their backs! So, all our chairs had been taken away! We decided to see how it would go and email the government at the end of the day with the things we like or don’t like about it. There was some grumbling (mostly by Ms Lawder) …but, most rose, or should I say sank, to the challenge. After a morning without chairs, we prepared for lunch only to learn that Ms. Lawder had played an April Fool’s trick on us. We all had a good giggle!

The whole school got together to record a song for our school CD. All the classes also recorded their own favourite songs in the music room. Stay tuned for details on how you can buy a copy of the CD

Over the past few weeks, the Kindergartens have been investigating different kinds of technology. We learned that technology is… anything that we use to help make our lives easier (not just computers, iPads, or electronics!)
We also learned how to take photographs with the school ipads and each student picked a piece of ‘technology’ that they wanted to take a picture of! Have a look at some of the technology in our school!
What a great day! We started by rolling out of bed and coming to school in our PJs! Then we had a delicious pancake breakfast with our Big Buddies. During our Library time Mrs Fierro dashed in (she was dressed in Elf PJs today). She had just met an elf in the hallway…he was really short and had come all the way from the North Pole. He had letters for us and asked if she would deliver them to us. They were icy cold! We dashed to our Big Buddies and asked them to read our letters to us!
What a day! Have a look at the slideshow below.
