Gymnastics!

We will begin gymnastics in our regularly scheduled gym classes on Monday, April 25th.  The gymnastics unit will last two weeks.  Safety routines, cooperation and sportsmanship are taught and reviewed in each class.   

This physical activity opportunity will help students acquire individual skills through a variety of developmentally appropriate movement activities. 

It is important for students to come to school prepared for being actively engaged. The following guidelines are very helpful… 

  

HEAD TO TOE - READY TO GO!!!  

Head ....................... long hair pulled back 

Ears/Throat/Wrist ............... jewellery off 

Shirt.................................. one layer shirt 

Waist ................................................tucked in 

Pants.........................sporty pants or shorts, no belts or zippers 

Ankles..........................pants rolled up if ankles are covered 

Toes...............running shoes, gymnastic slippers or bare feet (no footed tights) 

  

“Playing & moving safely is everyone’s responsibility” 

Thursday, April 14

 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. 

With the artist, we experimented with making natural colours from items nature has to offer. We tested the PH and explored making the colour more acidic and basic using vinegar and baking soda to change the colours. 

In math, we have been multiplying number. We have explored making friendly number, partial product, and distributive property and strategies when solving multi-digit equations. We have been participating in many number talks and sharing our personal mental math strategies and applying those when solving difficult problems. 

Important Dates:

April 15 - No School

April 18 - PD Day (no school)

April 20 - Inside Education

Telus Spark

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.
