Grade 4/5 News

May 25,  2015

 We had a super time at Rock Kamp and at Burgoyne bay last week.  It was great seeing the rock groups perform at Artspring and I know all the students had a great experience.  This week we are starting to look at sets for the play.  I am working with the class tomorrow and with a couple of parents discussing how to design the sets and props for Treasure Island.  Next Monday, June 3, I will be asking for any students or parents who can to stay after school to help paint and decorate the sets.  On Tuesday the class will be at the Track Meet at Portlock Park.  Please remember to send them to school with lots of food and beverages plus a hat for the sun.
