Class Work/Trabajo en clase

Last week, we wrapped up Social Studies and Science with wonderful presentations about Global Citizenship and our bridges. The students are very proud of their work! We also began working on creating our own math games based on what we learned this year that we will be playing on Wednesday as our Math Wrap up. In Spanish, we worked really hard on our obra de teatro (play) based on La Luz de Lucía (Lucia's Light), which was enjoyed by our Grade 1 buddies class, as well as the other Grade 3 classes. In English, we finished learning about similes and did a short mini story about our families using what we learned. This week, we will be creating a Grade 3 memory book to take home and share with our families.

As this is the final blog entry for the school year, I'd like to wish everyone a wonderful and safe summer break!

Dalhousie School News Updates

It was another exciting and busy week at Dalhousie school.

 

Inline Skating

The final week of inline skating has included exciting “disco” atmosphere where students were able to practice their skills in a roller-skating rink type atmosphere.  Many parents may have fond memories of going to Llyod’s Rollersports Centre back in the day – this week kind of reminded me of those days.  It was great to have Alien Inline here for the last 5 weeks and we are very pleased with the experience that our students had with inline skating.  We also are super thankful to all the parents who helped out during the various skating times.

 

Minecraft Challenge

We had an amazing Minecraft challenge spirit activity on Friday, June 23 with many students participating in virtual design challenges. They built some creative and cool objects, buildings, etc. during this challenge.

 

Teachers Vs. Grade 5 Soccer Match

The teachers vs. grade 5 soccer match was and exciting and energetic event on June 23 with lots of cheering, skillful play (mostly the students!), and outstanding sportsmanship.  The Grade 5’s won 3-1, but the most important part was that everyone had fun and enjoyed the event and the teachers were able to get a good workout in!

Dalhousie School News Updates

It was another wonderful week of learning at Dalhousie school with a couple of extra exciting events: the grade 5 Camp Riversedge field trip and the amazing family fiesta night!

 

Summer Weather Conditions

With the hot and sunny temperatures, we would like to remind everyone that hats, sun screen and water bottles are essential to ensure our students are safe, comfortable and happy during outdoor activities.  Please continue to send these items to school with your child(ren).

 

Grade 5 Field Trip – Camp Riversedge

What a great trip this was!  The weather was perfect and the students were such great representatives of Dalhousie school.  The day was filled with outdoor games, archery, a low ropes obstacle course, and even some quiet time to appreciate the natural area of tree groves, wetlands and the river bank.  We appreciate the support of the parent council who helped make this experience come to fruition.

 

¡Family Fiesta Night!

¡WOW! – The family fiesta night was incredible and so much fun! We had a fabulous turn out and it was such a joy to see all the positive energy that Dalhousie has to offer! It was something that our students will never forget. Thank you to all who attended and supported the playground fundraising portion of the night.  We would also like to make a huge shout out to all the parent council volunteers, the volunteer DJ, as well as the food trucks for making the evening so memorable. The fiesta would not have been a success without all of you.  When we work as a team, the strength of our community really shines and the Fiesta is a great example of this collaboration.  We are amazing Dalhousie!

 

Sports Day

Dalhousie students are excited about our upcoming Sports Day on June 28. We are looking for volunteers to run stations and in some cases, provide class support.  Check out all the fun opportunities available.  You must have a current CBE volunteer clearance.

Class Work/Trabajo en clase

In Math, we have been focused on finding the perimeter of various shapes (regular and irregular polygons). The students started a project about their "casa ideal" (dream house) that they are currently designing in order to find the perimeter. In Spanish, we have been using our acting skills to practice a reader's theatre version of "Los tres cerditos" (The Three Little Pigs). Then we will use what we've learned to do a reader's theatre interpretation of the book "La luz de Lucía" (Lucia's Light). In Social Studies, we are in our final unit, Global Citizenship, and students are researching an organization of their choice based on a list provided. Some choices on the list include Habitat For Humanity, One Drop, and Doctor's Without Borders. In Science, we will be beginning to build bridges next week! Students will be asked to bring recycled materials from home that they would like to use to build their bridges. Please have those materials in class by Wednesday, June 7th. Gracias! In English, students are now putting together poetry books using all the different types of poetry we've learned. In Wellness, we started creating art based on the bear, who represents courage in the Seven Sacred Teachings.

Dalhousie School News Updates

Inline Skating

As inline skating continues the students’ skills are quickly improving.  They are having so much fun and the instructor from Alien Inline is doing a great job programming with a balance of skill development and having fun while practicing their skating skills. Just a quick reminder to make sure students have socks with them or they may not be able to participate in the activity.

 

Grade 4 Field Trip to Heritage Park

The grade 4 students went to Heritage Park on June 1st.  It was a fantastic day of fun and learning about the history of the west, specifically the small prairie settlements that were abundant at the turn of the century throughout western Canada.  The students had a great day of learning.  Thanks so much to all the parents who volunteered for the day.  The students demonstrated great citizenship during this trip and were great representatives of Dalhousie school.

 

Grade 5 Fiesta Promotion

This week some of our grade 5 students teamed up with school council to promo the family fun night.  This was a great leadership opportunity for these students and they did a great job talking about the evening activities and how much fun it is going to be!
