 Dear caring families,

This week we:

* Added a piece to chess. It is called the "rook". The rook can move forward, sideways or backwards as many spaces as it wants in a straight line. It can NOT go diagonal or jump over pieces. Today we played with the pawns, the bishops and the rooks. The goal was to get one pawn to the other side.

* We are having gym this afternoon with Mr. Marta's class. We will play Dungeon Ball. It will be fun! On Wednesday we played Everybody's It Tag and Octopus.

* In music we played Make a Pizza and we used the sticks and the shaker eggs. There was a tiny circle for the pizza dough. We had to listen for the rhythm in the music and then we did different movements like rolling, patting and shaking the cheese on.

* Today is fantastic Friday. We pick a stick with someone's name on it. Whoever it is we spy on them for the whole day. Then in the afternoon we compliment them for something nice they did today.

* In math we have been learning how to add up coins. We also learned the difference between dollars and cents. It took us a few days because it was hard.

* This morning we had library. We got to pick a new book and read in the library.

* Today is P.B.'s birthday. She isn't here so we will celebrate her birthday on Tuesday.

* Yesterday we met our new student teacher. His name is Mr. K. He will start teaching after Christmas Break.

* This week L.W., P.B. and E.B. shared their writing with the class.

Remember there is no school for students on Monday!

Have a terrific long weekend!

Dear magnificent families,

This week we:

* Had gym with division 8. We played Dungeon Ball. In gym we also practiced dribbling and trapping. We played a game called Treasure Hunt where you had to dribble the ball to collect bean bags for your team's hoop. We also played red light green light while you are dribbling. If you lost control of the ball you had to go back to the beginning. On Monday we had C.A's birthday gym. He chose to play soccer.

* We also celebrated E.B.'s birthday. She chose to pick all the gonoodle's. She also brought her own book from home for the birthday story.

* Are getting ice cream treats for selling so many coupon books!!!

* We had an assembly for Remembrance Day. People who are in guides or cubs or had indigenous regalia were part of the honour guard and were up at the front of the assembly. We also had two people carry the wreath up for our class.

* We have been practicing our lockdown drill. We have been building up to being quiet for 5 minutes with the lights off and the blinds closed.

* Today we have Fantastic Friday. We will be giving compliments to the people who's name we chose this morning.

* For Remembrance Day we did an art/writing project. We wrote about why we wear a poppy and made three poppies for our art work.

* We got a postcard from Singapore from M.'s cousin. We learned that Singapore is beautiful and has delicious food. They also had a gorgeous art gallery. They also had a mall that was perfect for a shop-a-holic!

Remember there is no school on Monday.

We hope you have an amazing weekend!
