great projects. We would like to thank our judges Mr. Hancock, Mr. Mark
Fitzpatrick and Mr. Cec Lake.
This
week is Provincial Environment Week. All of our classes participated in
activities focusing on helping and preserving our environment. Mrs. King and
Mrs. McCarthy travelled to St. John’s to receive the Provincial Environmental
Award for the category of youth, school or group. Way to go, IHMS.
On
Monday night we had an in school art show. There was lots of beautiful artwork
on display. On Monday night we also began a silent auction for a lithograph of
Gerald Squire’s portrait called “Ash-Wednesday – A Portrait of Al Pittman”. The
piece is on display in our main entrance and bidding ballots are available at
the main office. The portrait is valued at $1,050. The auction will continue
until the last day of school on June 25th.
The

photos for the yearbook. The yearbook order forms went home on Tuesday. The
cost of the yearbook is $21.
On
Tuesday our grades 3-9 students participated in the Hersey Track and Field
events. Everyone was outside participating in running and jumping events. It
was a lot of fun. Thank you to Mr. Ryley Nadon, Mr. Drew Nadon, and Mrs. Foley
for organizing this event.
The

poems for their parents.
We are

The
junior kindergarten classes would like to thank Gordon and Judy Penney for the
pizza, garlic fingers and juice on Thursday, as well as Jehane White for
cupcakes and Sandie Penney and Dania Obeid for the ice cream for all the
classes. The students were so excited to see their art work on display at the
art show. They even displayed special trees with recycled crafts. They have
started doing their Father’s Day crafts.
Mme. Brake’s
Kindergarten French Immersion class is learning about the water cycle in
science class. But even more exciting that that…they all graduated kindergarten
on Thursday evening! It was a beautiful celebration. Mme Brake is so proud of
them.
Mrs.
Hodder’s Kindergarten English class was happy to show their families their
artwork at the annual art show on Monday night. They were very excited about
their graduation and are looking forward to grade one next year.
Ms. Parsons’s
Kindergarten English class had so much fun at their kindergarten graduation on
Thursday. They are very much looking forward to grade one next year.
Mme. Ryan’s

caterpillars have emerged from their cocoons as beautiful butterflies. They
will be planting their peas out in the greenhouse this week.
Mrs.
George’s grade one English class really enjoyed the art show on Monday night.
They are excited to see that the butterflies in Mme. Ryan’s class that she let
them name are beginning to emerge from their cocoons. They are learning about
animals in science. They really enjoyed doing math in the outdoor classroom
this week.
Ms.
Park’s grade two class is making three dimensional structures and an underwater
scene in art class. They are anxiously awaiting the hatching of their baby
chicks. They would like to thank Sabrina Brock from the Department of
Agriculture for educating and preparing their chick incubator. While they are
waiting, they are learning about the embryology of a chick. They are also
researching animals of Australia for their thematic unit. Coen is the student
of the week!
Mme.
LaChance’s grade two and three French Immersion class read a book called
“Aboie, Georges! (Bark, George!). It’s about a little dog who does not bark
like other dogs. He uses noises like pigs, cows, cats and ducks. During the
week, students rewrote the book with the other sounds that George can do. It was a lot of fun for all!
Mrs.
Foley’s grade three and four class enjoyed a salad made with salad greens and
beans from their classroom garden. With the warmer weather they will soon be
planting some milkweed seedlings out in the school garden for the monarch
butterflies to enjoy. On Thursday they went to the Corner Brook marsh on a
field trip to learn about erosion.
Mrs.
McCarthy’s grade five and six class really enjoyed painting fun games out on
the sidewalk last week. They hope all the students are enjoying the hopscotch,
four square and calculator games. The grade five students are learning about
the history of transportation in language arts and the grade 6 students are
finishing off their short stories.
Mr.
Drew Nadon’s junior high and level 1 class had some wonderful pieces of artwork
in the art show on Monday. They really enjoyed the track and field meet on
Tuesday. It gave them an opportunity to challenge each other.
