Hello Families,
We have been enjoying the exciting opportunity to learn rugby this week with Breanne from Rugby Alberta. We learned that scoring a point in rugby is called a tri, and each tri is worth 5 points. We have been playing various games to practice passing sideways and backwards to move the ball around the field.
We have also been thinking and talking a lot about rhyme, rhythm, flow and fluency when creating and reciting poetry. We have been learning about limericks, which follow patterns for both syllables and rhymes. Ask your child about the rules of limericks to see what they can remember. We will have an opportunity to read these aloud within the classroom as well!
Within science and math we have been busy looking at our designs for the animal habitats and gardens we are creating to meet the needs of our species. Students have been given specific criteria to revise their designs and include various perimeters and areas of the polygons in their spaces. We are expecting this work to be completed sometime next week.
Tomorrow at the Volunteer Tea we are singing the song "good job" by Alicia Keys and two very talented classroom members will be playing the piano. The song is sounding amazing! We will likely be playing it again at the year end assembly, I will let you know if we open this event up to parents who want to come and see the song live. Please stay posted for more information.
Upcoming Dates:
June 9 - No school for students
June 16 - Sports day!
June 29 - Year end assembly/last day of school
