We have had many fun things happening this week. Please take the time to read through to make sure you know all about what happening! 

Last week, we had the Pangaea nurses come and do a presentation about the importance of hand washing. Today, they did a presentation on screen time, and the importance of limiting it to no more than 2 hours a day. The students did some activities and are coming home with hand outs. A few students were talking about hiding their hand outs so that parents don’t see them and don’t know what they learned about 😂. I told them I would make sure to post on the blog about this so parents will know if the notice somehow ‘gets lost’ on the way home. Screen time is so important to talk about, and I will post an article outlining some of the reasons at a later date. 

Tomorrow, we will be doing dictée since there is no school on Friday. Please send the duotang to school as we will also be getting home reading sheets! 

Tomorrow, the grade 3s will be singing a song for our rememberance day assembly. I have asked them to wear black and white to mark this solemn assembly. We will be starting at 11 if you would like to join us. 

This week we talked a lot about peace and war - acknowledging the past reality of war, and being thankful that we live in peace in our country. Young people really are the messengers of peace in our world. I was so impressed by the students’ insights into what peace means to them. We did an open ended project that you can see in the Hall way. I’ve also attached a few pictures.
