The
junior kindergarten classes in conjunction with Groundhog Day took homework
home for the very first time. On Friday they did a poll to see who expected the
weather to be sunny, allowing the groundhog to see his shadow or if they
thought it would be cloudy and therefore not allowing the groundhog to see his
shadow. On Monday they compared their predictions. This week they are learning
about the Olympics and making Olympic flags. They will participate in their own
Olympic challenge.

They are enjoying some Olympic activities today. They are also learning new

Mme.
LaChance’s grade two and three French Immersion class are imagining what it
would be like to be very very tiny. They read a book about being very tiny and
had to make their own unique sentences. If she was tiny, Isabelle would travel
in her mom’s pocket. If she was tiny, Natalie would find shadow under a
broccoli. If he was tiny, Brandon would travel on a butterfly. If he was tiny,
Caleb would play soccer with a cheerio for a ball. If he was tiny, Jakson would
sleep in a jar. If he was tiny, Lucas would ride a chicken like a horse. If he
was tiny, Simon would take a book for a camping tent. If he was tiny, jack
would ski on an ice cube.

Foley’s grade three and four class had their last day of cross country skiing
this week. They really enjoyed the program!

Wonka’s golden ticket. The grade 6 students were busy making a school video as
part of their Commonwealth Education Project with Mr. Ryley Nadon.
Mr.
Drew Nadon’s junior high and level 1 class went sliding on Wednesday as part of
