Hello Families,

Students in Room 10 will have beach day on Monday June 12 to celebrate getting all the helping hearts at lunch time. Please have your child bring a towel and dress in beach wear- sun hat, shorts, T-shirts, no bathing suits please.

It has been super busy and hot in classrooms. Thank you for sending a water bottle with your child everyday.

HAWCS Visit

Dear Lake Bonavista School community,

HAWCS Visit

We are very excited for an opportunity that has been provided to us by Mr. Conlin, Chief Engineer for the Calgary Police Service, Air Support Unit. On the morning of Monday, June 5 one of the HAWCS helicopters will be visiting our school and doing a 45 minute presentation in our field. This is a unique opportunity for all students, in particular grade 6, who study air and aerodynamics as part of their science curriculum. The helicopter will land in the school field as classes watch with their teachers, from a safe distance. Once the helicopter has landed and shut down, the students will be brought over to sit in a large semi-circle beside the helicopter with their teachers. The Pilot, Flight Officer, and Mr. Conlin, will do a brief presentation on the team and what they do. Grade 6 students will then ask a series of prepared questions, about the aircraft, the operation, or aviation in general. Once the questions are answered, the younger grades will return back to their learning with their teacher. Grade 5-6 students will then have a brief, closer look at the aircraft. The Grade 5-6 students will then have the opportunity to watch the helicopter start up and depart from a safe location.

If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher for more information.

Tai Chi Residency

Thank you to Sifu Greenhall for leading the Grade 1/2 students in learning about the art of Tai Chi. We learned so much, had tons of fun, and realized how challenging this sport really is!

Language Arts: Readers Theater

Students have been exploring reading fluency by practicing appropriate pace, volume, expression, and intonation. Throughout the last few weeks, students have practiced their script independently and in their groups to master their character/part. Ask your child about their character & their favourite part about Readers Theater!

Math

2D and 3D shapes - As a challenge find these shapes in your home.Can you see 2D shapes in a 3D shape?

Science: Honey Merchants

As a hook to our inquiry of the needs of animals, students enjoyed a presentation from Honey Merchants. We learned about their needs (habitat, food, shelter), their life cycle, how they produce honey, their physical adaptations, and their anatomy. Miss. Katie even brought LIVE BEES for us to observe - it was amazing! Students will be applying this learned knowledge and vocabulary to their personal research projects. Ask your child what animal/species they've chosen to research!
