Hello Families, We have been learning about shapes! A shape hunt both inside and outside, had the students searching high and low for different real world representations of 2D and 3D shapes. We learned the names for many 2D shapes and 3D objects as well as how many faces, edges and vertices each shape has. This helped each student to create 'Who Am I?' for a chosen shape. Each student covered the drawing of their chosen shape with a sticky note and wrote down 2-3 statements about their shape. They then shared them with the class, it was quite fun to hear the students try to guess what shapes matched the statements! In Science, we have continued to learn about Animal. This week we focused on Life Cycles and Adaptations. Show your child a photo of an animal and ask them what type of adaptations it has! We enjoyed a visit from The Honey Merchants. Did you know that there is only one queen bee in each hive? Ask you child to tell you fun facts about bees! With it being Mental Healt...

  Fish Creek Field Trip On Tuesday, June 20th we will be heading to Fish Creek Park near Bow Valley Ranche for a field trip with Ms. Midgley's and Ms. Greenhall's classes. We are looking for at least 5 volunteers to join us for this experience. Your responsibilities include supporting students during whole-group activities in the morning, supervising lunch, and leading small-group park exploration in the afternoon. If you have your CBE police clearance and are interested in volunteering on this day, please send me an email. I will do my best to take as many volunteers as I can and will give priority to those who have not had a chance to volunteer yet this year. 

 Hello Families, 30 x 30 Outdoor Challenge We continued to enjoy our time outside this week. Whether is was with our grade 3 buddies or on our own, we were able to get outside every day! We even cleaned up the perimeter of the field one morning. We will continue to be going outside everyday. We do ask you to put sunscreen or bug spray on your child before they come to school. If you are sending it for them to put on, please ensure they know how to do it themselves and that they know not to share with others. Thank you! Math Fractions have been a big part of our lessons these past two weeks and wow, did the students ever pick up on what a fraction was! Learning terms such as numerator, denominator, whole, part, partition, equal and unequal helped them complete their pizza fractions and name fractions with ease! Here are a few examples. Literacy We have been working on learning the rules of bossy 'r'! Each morning our Opening task has had us unscrambling letters to find a differe...
