End of the week March 6th
We have had a great week this week. The weather has been warming up and we have been enjoying all of our wonderful visitors this week.
On Monday we were visited by La Boucheron. He visited our school and taught us about traditional cultural practices from all around Canada. He taught our grade 4 students how to play the spoons and even helped us make a traditional maple treat.
We started our new gym unit, gymnastics. We spent most of the week learning how to be safe and practiced our safety landings and safety falls.
In Math, we have been continuing to learn about multiplication and how to represent it. We have been using pictures (moons and stars) as well as arrays to represent multiplication problems. The grade 3's have been learning their Math facts up to 5 x 5. The grade 4's have been practicing up to 7 x 7. To help us we have been playing games like Moons and Stars and Array Conquer.
This week we also finished our Science presentations all about the different animal classes. There were some amazing slide shows and some wonderful speakers who looked at their audiences, rehearsed their speeches and used body language and expressive voices to enhance their presentations.
All of this week we have been lucky enough to Mr. Traynor, our new student teacher in the class. He has done some great learning with us by taking Math and Reading groups. Also on Friday he did a really fun art lesson all about wolves.

Dear Parents:
We are starting our gymnastic unit in our regularly scheduled physical education classes. To begin this unit, we are reviewing safety procedures with each class. Students in elementary school are not expected to change for physical education. When participating in gymnastics we ask students to be dressed and prepared to participate. We ask you to consider the following:
• Wear clothing that allows freedom of movement (jumping, climbing, rolling, etc.).
• Loose fitting/baggy clothing may get caught on equipment when climbing (baggy jeans, pants with large pockets, drawstrings and hoodies).
• Tucking shirts in may help to prevent an accident. Students wearing hijabs may want to tuck loose ends into their shirt.
• All jewelry, such as watches, rings, earrings, and necklaces, that could get caught on equipment or could cause injury, should be removed prior to class or
left at home.
• Students with long hair should have their hair tied back. Tying hair back with elastics (scrunchies) is recommended. If bangs are too short to be tied back, consider using an athletic headband. Please refrain from using bobby pins and hair clips.
• Students may wear shorts under clothing if they wish.
• Students will continue to wear indoor running shoes. If students only have flats or sandals at school, please send along close-toed shoes that can be tightened
(either Velcro or tied with shoe laces).
Should you have any questions, please feel free to speak to your child’s teacher. Thank you in advance for your understanding in helping to assist with the safety of our stud
