We are enjoying our new sensory tub this week, colored spaghetti!! So slimy and so much FUN!! Nikki is also joining in on the Fun, getting messy! We are enjoying the beautiful weather and looking forward to Spring Break! Thanks Mrs. Sarah Reichmuth Aside from our regular day to day routine we have celebrated St. Patrick's day, attended the music festival at the hall and have done some Easter activities. We are looking forward to learning about our cultures by doing and presenting a "Culture In A Box". Grade 2 Steinwalt This month in Kindergarten with Ms. Beischer we have been studying bears. We have learned about hibernation, had a Teddy Bear picnic, made a polar bear & grizzly bear craft and wrote facts about them. We also read Corduroy Bear and created Corduroy bears in art class. In math we got to taste test which type of oatmeal we prefer and are learning how to tell time. We have play centers that include Goldilocks and the Three Bears bin and a Teddy Bear hospital. We are also learning about where we live in regards to our town, province, and country. Our favourite song is to the tune of Jingle Bells, and of course it is about BEARS. Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears Black and Brown bears too. They live in the ice and snow, The forest and the zoo. Mrs. Bell and Ms. Gobert’s grade one students started March by celebrating Dr. Seuss’ birthday. We love his books and all of the silly rhymes! Lately, we have been very busy with portfolio and report card activities. Now that we are finished with that, we will be learning all about our five senses in science. As the spring weather is now upon us, please make sure your child has rubber boots, splash pants and a change of clothes in their backpack. This would be greatly appreciated! I LOVE TO READ Grade 4 Schappert collected just under $500 in pledges. Major Pratt School’s Kindergarten to Grade 4 classes participated in their annual ‘I Love to Read’ month in February. The students read 2228 books and collected a whopping $1680.00 in pledges, all of which will be put towards the K-8 Playground Enhancement Initiative. Great job Early Years’ staff and students! K-4 ‘I Love to Read’ book draw winners. The K-8 Playground Enhancement Involves: Replacing the ageing K-4 play structure Relocating the Middle Years’ play structure from the west side of the school to the south play area for enhanced usage by the over 250 K-8 students Replacing the old metal slides, swing sets and spider web with a double U-swing Building a berm to utilize the existing landscape to create a winter sliding hill has also been proposed (if space allows) Reconfiguring the space to bring the soccer field up to regulation size Proposed K-4 play structure. (Modifications can be made to accommodate individual school needs.) Senior Years Undergrad Awards The Undergrad Awards Day for the 2013-2014 school year was held on February 27. In the past, Major Pratt has acknowledge honour roll recipients in a birthday assembly at the end of each semester. As a staff we decided to try something new. We will have an undergrad awards day in October of the following school year and acknowledge the students that have achieved honour roll status over the entire school year. We also acknowledge the students with the highest mark in each of the grade 9-11 courses as well as presentation of the Academic Proficiency Awards. Due to the construction and lack of space the awards for last school year were postponed. Please see the lists below.
