Clouds





Our latest PM Program study has been weather.  Ever since we've learned the basic cloud names, I have been inspired to look at the sky and take pictures of the amazing clouds over Vancouver.  Ask your kids if they can tell you the names of the clouds.  You should hear names like cumulus, stratus, cumulonimbus, nimbostratus and cirrus.

Dramatic letters

 So much fun working together!

Drama workshop

Arts Umbrella Stagecoach works with us each year to develop our drama skills.  In this workshop, the kids are working beautifully together to create all the letters of the alphabet.  Can you tell what letters they are making?

Skating


I love these outings!  Our whole school has been going skating 3 times a year for a few years now.  I marvel at how some of our students improve tremendously over those 3 trips!  We have some amazing parents who help us out and we simply couldn't go as often if we didn't have all those parents to tie up all of those skate laces!  I know the kids love going skating!  I do too!




Creating 3D objects






Our kids really enjoyed creating their own 3D objects to explore what a vertex is, an edge is, and what a face is-these are the attributes we use to discuss 3D objects.

Thank you De Dutch!

It really was a great day!  Those pancakes were enormous!  We were stuffed!  De Dutch, thank you so much for the wonderful experience.
As you can see, not too many left-overs here!

Happy pancake eaters at De Dutch!

Fantastic Field Trip to De Dutch

Addi's mum suggested we go on a field trip to De Dutch.  What a great trip that was!  We got to ride the public bus, walk down Oak Street and finish up in a wonderful community based restaurant owned by Addi's grandparents.  They were magnificent hosts showing us around the kitchen and explaining how the pancakes were made.  We got to flip some pancakes and decorate them too!  Of course, the eating was the best part which also taught some valuable lessons about table manners and sharing a meal in a large group in a public restaurant.
The food was delicious!


This is Daniel's very first time eating a pancake!  He loved it!!
