Happy Easter Break

We've had an incredibly busy time since coming back from Spring Break.  We started with Bard on the Beach sessions where students acted out scenes of  The Tempest.  Unfortunately, with only five classes of preparation, the students didn't feel confident about performing the scenes in front of a large audience, but they did present a spirited monologue from the play. 

The Carousel Theatre's presentation of Pharoah Serket and the Lost Stone of Fire was an excellent field trip to start off our Grade 7 unit on Ancient Egypt.  Thank you to our parent drivers:  Mrs. Garbutt, Mrs. Jackson, Mrs. Joyce, Mrs. Manojlovic,  and Mrs. Miller.

This week we welcomed Mrs. Garbutt into the classroom to instruct us on making Ukrainian eggs. The students were very excited about creating their egg masterpieces and did a fantastic job.  Many eggs went home today but others are at school because students forgot to bring containers.  Thank you to Mrs. Garbutt for gathering all the supplies and also to her team of parent helpers:  Mrs. Manojlovic, Mrs. Jackson, and
Ms. Klausen.

Next week we will be doing art in the style of Roy Henry Vickers with our aboriginal worker, Ms. Smith.

Today was busy with our last footy (Australian Football) lesson.  The students played an laugh-filled game and showed excellent learning of the footy skills.  Thank you to the PAC for sponsoring our footy instructor, Coach Mike McFarlane of the North Delta Junior Australian Football League.

Also, today,  six class members went off  to the Math Celebrations at Port Guichon.  Congratulations to Mark, Jonathan,  Nathan, Robbie, Emily, and Brendan for representing our school. 

Last week an email was sent out about Learning to Learn, a summer program for students entering Gr 8 at SDSS.  The class runs from Aug 8-12 from 9-11 am or 11:15-1:15.  Cost is $82.  There are 20 spots available for each class, but they do fill up quickly. Registration is now open.  Contact the Delta School Board to register by telephone.
