Happy Thursday June 17, 2021!

Reminders:

We have spirit days every Friday this month!

Friday June 18 is Dress like a super hero or villain! (Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, you name it!)

Friday June 25 is Hawaiian day! (Hawaiian shirts and skirts for the win!)

June 25 Is the last day of school! 

Today in room 5!

We started our day with a quick calendar and another chapter of the BFG. We had a special guest speaker, Preston Huppie, who spoke to our entire school digitally about the medicine wheel and the symbolism behind each of it's sections. We learned how the medicine wheel symbolizes the north, east, west south. It also represents the body, mind, spirit and emotions. medicine wheel also symbolizes the four sacred medicines: sweet grass, sage, tobacco, and cedar. 

Tomorrow we will be creating a message of closing the year and positively looking towards the summer. This will be given with tobacco on Monday as an offering for our smudge as a whole school. I will be selecting two students to bring the offering to Preston Huppie.

After a clean up and snack we headed to the playground for our recess. Upon returning inside we finished working on our Fathers Day cards! With it being super hero day tomorrow we thought it would be fitting to make cards that show our fathers, mothers, grandpas, grandpas, as superheroes. Thanks for being our heroes loved ones!

After lunch we got right to work building our boats. The students had a task of building a boat using recycled materials that could float and hold up a set amount of weight! The students had a blast building their boats before testing them in a large bin of water. Everything floated,  some held up a large amount of weight and others held up a little or turned into submarines.

Today the grade six students were saying farewell to our school through a digital assembly. We watched as classes gave students awards, said thank yous and read stories. 

We cleaned up at the end of the day and went on our way. 

Tomorrow is super hero day, so let's have a super Friday!
