We had a busy week here in the grade five classroom.  There are many things coming up so please read on…end enjoy a few pictures at the end!

Pumpkin Math – We are excited for our Pumpkin Math morning next Monday.  Please make sure your child has a large shirt to put over their uniform and gloves (if they don’t like getting their hands dirty).  So far I don’t have any volunteers and I really need at least two parents to join me.  Please let me know if you are able to join us Monday morning from 9-noon.

BMV will be on Tuesday next week

Field Trip –   We are looking forward to our field trip next Wednesday.  Please have your child here by 7:45 as the bus is leaving at 8am sharp.  We will return at approximately 3:30.  Students will need to pack a bag lunch with extra snacks for the bus.  As it is Knight’s Day, students will be permitted to wear Knight’s Day gear and casual pants on the field trip. For parents who are driving, our plan is to be at Science World by 9:30 as it takes a few minutes to get ourselves organized.  If parents would like to drive with their children, please email me so we are not waiting for them.  On Monday volunteers will be getting a schedule as well as a list of students that they will be supervising.  Please bring this with you on Wednesday.

Scholastic Book Fair – This is happening on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week.  It takes place in the lobby and is open both before and after school.

Interim Reports – these are coming home today.  If you have any questions or concerns then please send us an email and we would be happy to meet with you.

Fall Fun Dress-Up & Soup Lunch – On Tuesday, October 31st we will have a fall fun dress up day.  This is where students can wear casual clothes in fall colours.  No costumes, please.  We will also be having a soup and bun lunch together.  Pizza will also be available this day.
