Please note, the Hug & Go loop will be closed for afternoon pick up on Thursday, April 17 to allow for the Food Trucks to pull in and get prepped for service by 4:30.

Families that use this loop for pick up are asked to please make alternative arrangements with your child on where you will meet them or park somewhere in the neighbourhood and walk in.

A reminder that there is never stopping or parking in front of the school as this is our bus zone and we have five school buses and several daycare buses that use this area.

Thanks for your cooperation!

We started our learning about the digestive system by taking notes, explored the Gizmos digital digestive system and we are now working on a stop motion to explain the digestive system.






Ask me about Drum Fit!



We started our own creative writing story.  Students brainstormed all of their ideas to create a unique character, setting and problem.  We will continue our stories next week.




We reviewed Order of Operations with a Jeopardy.  Please practice at home if students are still unsure.

Our grade 2 buddies shared their polar bear research books with us.  We then shared our stone stories with our buddies.

Shipwrecked: To build leadership and resiliency, we played a game called Shipwrecked.  Students in 5D worked as a team to cross from one side of the soccer field to the other by only standing on 10 sit upons.  The students moved almost halfway across the field without touching the grass!  It was amazing to hear all of the words of encouragement and strategy.
