Hi Families,
We've had an amazing couple of weeks. We went on our first field trip in 2 years and have an artist here to work with us!
Telus Spark was great! Everyone had an awesome time. We had a class on electrical circuits and spend the rest of the time exploring.
Hello Families,
We are so excited for our field trip to Telus Spark on Monday!
Please try your best to have your child arrive on time on Monday morning as our class will be reviewing expectations and the schedule for the day. We will be departing Lake Bonavista School at 8:45 a.m. Please ensure your child has a litterless lunch, a water bottle and is dressed appropriately for the weather as we will spend a portion of the day outdoors. Students will only be bringing their lunch bag and water bottle on the field trip and will gather the rest of their belongings when we arrive back at school at the end of the day. Students will not have access to the cafeteria or gift shop and do not need any money.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns regarding our field trip.
This is a reminder that all yearbook covers are due tomorrow. If you brought it home during the break please make sure you hand them into me tomorrow morning.
Thanks!

All of the classes at Lake Bonavista School are participating in a fitness bingo challenge from February 23-April 8! We wanted to share the bingo card with you so you can continue the fun at home! At school, each time a class completes a ‘blackout’ bingo card, they will be added to a draw and entered to win bonus recess time! If your family complete all of the exercises on a bingo card at your house, please notify your classroom teacher and your child’s class will receive an additional entry in the draw.
Each exercise on the bingo card is to be completed in an interval style - 20 seconds of the exercise, followed by 10 seconds of rest. In order to cross the activity off of your bingo card you must complete a minimum of 4 interval sets. If some of the exercises are unfamiliar, please ask your child to teach you the movement.
Feel free to check out the video below for a further explanation of the bingo challenge.
Happy sweating!

Hello Families,
Over the week our class made 3D shapes in the snow, nobody could do it, except for this guy. We also made 2D and 3D shapes out of clay and tooth picks, everybody could do this. We learned about Carroll Diagrams. congruency, symmetrical and similar shapes.

Hello Families,
Just a reminder, tomorrow is tea Friday.
Also, it was suggested that we get to wear our PJs tomorrow since "we are not used to wear school clothes everyday." We has an amazing week, everyone was on task and remembered classroom expectation. It really felt like we had been in school the whole time. The students really did earn a PJ day. So tomorrow is PJ day as well!
We'll be embracing FriYAY tomorrow!
