Gong Hei Fat Choy!

Happy Lunar New Year, and Gong xi fa cai to our mandarin speaking friends!

At the end of the month we celebrated the new year, sharing stories about the Zodiac, (our grade 4s informed me happily that they are Golden Pigs, and I am just a normal old snake), the story of Nian, and made our own Dragon Mask puppets, and decorated a lot of things in Red and Gold! 

This week is the Science Fair at LKS, and our students are already excited to go check it out. As a judge, I must stay impartial but I can say that any parents who want to bring ANY students to the OPEN HOUSE house tomorrow night (Feb 1st) are in for a treat. The intermediate students will be there to showcase, explain and educate all of us on their work.

The science train keeps rolling as we also are lucky enough to get a special lecturer that will be giving a MYSTERY themed science presentation on February 16th. If you're reading this, you know before the students do so fell free to tease it and get them curious! Curious minds ask great questions and great questions lead to great investigations (we will be beginning our inquiry-lead research projects this month on habitats, organisms and adaptations).

Thank you to all our parent volunteers who ferried us to the Mastercard Centre, without you, we'd never have gotten such a great free-skate. Exercise is always a little more rewarding in a fun and different setting.
