January Primary News

 

We hope you all had a restful holiday season.  The children did an amazing job performing at the winter    concert.  A great big hand goes to all the children and staff for their hard work and dedication.  A special thank you to Ms. Peters, our music teacher, for an amazing performance!

 

January often feels like a long month since it’s too cold to spend time outdoors.  Here’s a game you can play to pass the time with your child.

 

Game: Who Has the Highest?

Material: deck of cards

Players: 2

 

Nursery, Kindergarten, Grade 1

Hand out the cards. Each player turns over 1 card and says the number.  The person with the highest number keeps the cards.

 

Grade 1,2

Same as above but each player turns over 2 cards eg. 3  and 5 makes the numeral 35.

 

Grade 2,3

Turn over 3 cards to make 3 digit numerals. Remember “246” would be read as “two hundred forty-six”

(no and ).

 

Here’s a Wish for the World from some of the Primary children:

 

We wish …

the world had peace

We wish...

no one would litter

We wish...

everyone had food

We wish…

everyone had someone to love

 

Sincerely,

The Primary Team

Ms. Ambaram, Mrs. Wuersch-Gowryluk, Mrs. Idone, Mr. Preyma, Ms. Robson,

Ms. Cabral and Mr. Yanofsky

 

 

 

Intermediate News

 

It was wonderful to see so many people at the Winter Concert.  We are looking forward to a busy and exciting winter term at school.  A big Thank You to everyone who brought in food items and money in December. Working with the Christmas Cheer Board, as a school we were able to put together two hampers for families.

 

Please keep track of the dates of volleyball practices and tournaments this month.

 

Thanks,

Intermediate Team (Ms. Ashton, Mr. Hawash, Mrs. Schultz, Mrs. Tayfel, Mrs. Zdrill)
