We had an amazing day today at the Peel Children's Water Festival! The children really enjoyed themselves at the various events that all showcased the importance of water. We saw various exhibits such as hypothesizing which objects float and which sink, exploring what happens to waste water, visuals of the amount of water on earth that is available for human consumption, water races, and a scavenger hunt. There were many other activities we took part in as well. Ask you child to tell you all about it tonight! I have a few pictures posted at the end of this posting for you to enjoy. When we returned to school the children went to French class.
Homework: Read for 15 minutes and record in the reading chart, and practice weekly spelling words for tomorrow's spelling test.
Important information: Tomorrow is the SJA Track and Field event. This event is going to be held tomorrow afternoon exclusively outside. The weather is going to be similar to today, so please make sure your children come to school wearing (or bringing) sunscreen, hats, sunglasses and water bottles for this outside event. All students should come wearing their gym uniform tomorrow. Friends and families are more than welcome to attend this fun event to watch the students compete.
Ms. Elliott's class is going to be selling freezies at the Track and Field event tomorrow for 50 cents. If you would like your child to purchase a freezie, please send change with them.
All students brought home a Spelling Bee list with them last week. Our school is going to be holding it's first school-wide spelling bee competition on June 12th. Friends and families are welcome to attend to watch the competition on the 12th. The list that the children have brought home is the exact list that will be used during the competition, so please use it to help your child study and prepare. 5 children are going to be selected from each class to compete in the whole-school competition on the 12th, so help make your child one of them!
Information for SJA Summer Camps are now available. SJA offers a range of camps over the summer months with a variety of themes ranging from karate camps, to writing camps to traditional summer camps programs. Please contact the school for more information about these exciting programs.
If your child is part of the SJA choir, please make sure they are practicing the choir song at home. You can find the song lyrics athttp://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/theparenttrap/doyoubelieveinmagic.htm and play the song for them at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKyGyH9mWHk. The choir's next performance is going to be at Arts Night on June 6th.
Best regards,
Mrs. Nelson
