April 26

Today we took advantage of the gorgeous weather and sketched our tree looking for any changes.  Some of of noticed that one of the trees has some fuzzy buds at the ends of some of the branches.    We then used  charcoal to outline and shade our sketches.  Ask me about how I enjoyed using charcoal. 

1) Volunteer Tea: invitations were sent home yesterday. Please return the RSVP sheet.   Thank you to everyone who has supported our school by volunteering in some capacity. We couldn't do it without you.

Today we worked together to create "Circle" art.  Ask me about how we had to start painting and what colour I chose to work with.

                    

Hello! Tomorrow is our Jump Event Day! There are a few things we want you to remember for tomorrow:

1) Wear RED in support of the Heart and Stroke Foundation

2) Remember to bring in your pledge collection envelope

3) If you have your own skipping rope, please bring it to school. Don't forget to put your name on it.

Celebration

Thank you to all the families who came out to our Celebration of Learning.  I loved watching the students share their work and explain the thinking, learning and processes that went into making their community models.

Please see a note regarding our art cards below:

Thank you for all of your support! Through the sales of our Grade 1 art work we were able to raise almost $300 to donate to Kidsport.  We would like to meet a donation goal of $500.  If you would like to purchase another Grade 1 art card, or if you were unable to be at the celebration of learning and would like to purchase a card, please send in your $5.00 donation to your child's teacher and they will send home a beautiful keepsake of their sustainable community art work from Grade 1. These would make perfect Mother's or Father's Day gifts!! 

Thank you for your continued support.
