Grade 4 to 9 Students tour the newspaper in St. Pierre
Place Du General De Gaulle Square
The grade 4-9 to students went on a school trip to St. Pierre. They left on Tuesday at 2 o’clock. Thank you to the staff and parents who drove us and were in charge of students on the trip. The parents who came were Mrs. Du Toit, Mr. Reynolds, Mrs. Brothers and Dr. Hamann.
The grade 4 to 9 students and adults took a tour of the boulangerie all the bread smelled really good. They also took a tour of the lycee. It was a really big school and it had a lot of different things like a mini-nursery, a carpentry area and other interesting stuff. They also took a tour of the radio station, the museum and a bus tour of the island. They saw many horses over 320!
Last Friday was City of Corner Brook Clean-Up Day. Students picked up garbage around the school and across the street at the church and around Bishop Crosby’s walk way.
On Monday our school celebrated Music Monday. On Wednesday there was a parent information session for parents of the September 2010 French Immersion Kindergarten class.
On Tuesday it was National Teacher Day! It is a day to respect our teachers for what they do. We all think everyday should be teacher day.
On Thursday students participated in a walk for the kids help phone. Students raised money for the Kids Help Phone and some students visited classes to talk about the Kids Help Phone. We did this walk so kids can get help with their problems.
Musical practice for 101 Dalmatians has begun. Students are excited about the play and are all practicing their lines and the songs.
