The Best Week Back At School!

 This week at school, we had Phys.Ed and Music. We were also lucky to have some explore time in our class.

    We also had math this week. Our class started to learn about money. We looked at what people spend money on and how people save money. The Canadian quarter has a caribou on it, the Canadian nickel has a beaver, the twenty dollar bill has Queen Elizabeth II and an image of Vimy Ridge, the Loonie has a loon on it, the ten dollar bill has a train on it, the five dollar bill has the Canadarm on it, the Toonie has a polar bear and the Canadian dime has the Bluenose on it. The Mint made a special 50 cent coin with the coat of arms on it. On the Smartboard, we were counting by 5's using nickels. It was fun!

  This week, we also wrote about our holidays. Cody had an awesome holiday because he played hockey. Elijah's holiday was great because his friends came over to his house. Adam had a birthday over the holiday that was FUN! Jaden had an incredible holiday because he got to play Star Wars Battlefront. Jordan had an AWESOME holiday because he got a PS4. Jacob got to see the new Star Wars Movie and thought it was good. Owen's break was good because he got to be a goalie for the first time.

 Next, we read some books about The Royal Canadian Mounted Police and we wrote about what we learned. Class learned that the RCMP do a dance with their horses called the Musical Ride. It's coming to Manitoba this year! The RCMP also train dogs to help find clues. Alex learned that the RCMP drive in cars to get bad guys. Cody learned that the RCMP used to ride horses to find the bad guys.

  Finally, we learned about Recycling. Adam learned that people have to dig holes to get a special rock called Bauxit, to make aluminum. Angel learned to keep the lid on her milk jug when recycling. If you don't keep it on, it may fall out of the truck and into the drain. Then it will go to the ocean and a bird called an Auk, will feed it to it's chick. Elijah learned that paper comes from trees.

   The first week back at school was AMAZING!
