Weekly Update: February 19, 2017

Hello Robina Families,

What another fabulous week we had! Everyone sure enjoyed the break in the cold weather and the students would have stayed outside and played all day if that was possible. A number of them were reminded of what happens when the snow begins to melt and puddles grow and become so tempting. . .  Perhaps when melting happens it is not a bad idea to have extra socks and pants in your child's back pack. Besides all the great learning that happens in each of our classrooms, we had the 100th day of school activities in grade 1 and 2, a Penguin visit for our grade ones, Valentine's Day and an African Music workshop this week. The extra learning activities created lots of excitement in our school and the atmosphere literally vibrated around here. It is really awesome to see children's excitement when they get to experience something new!!

I hope you are all having time to unplug for a little while today and enjoy some family time together for Family Day.



ASSEMBLY: 
Our theme for this month is Kindness Matters and the agenda for this past Friday's assembly can be found here: Assembly Agenda

On the agenda you can find the links to the Garth Prince songs.  We were fortunate to have Garth Prince run  workshops at our school!  Check out the Grade 4s performance:

SCHOOL WIDE ANTI-BULLYING PROJECT!

This Wednesday, February 22 is PINK SHIRT DAY! All of our staff and students will be wearing their shirts from the Pink Shirt Day project and we are anticipating the release of our video. We will show this video during our Grade 1/2 assembly time in the afternoon. All parents are welcome to attend, however, we will be sharing it with all of you shortly after school that day on YouTube and in a Face Book challenge if you are unable to attend. If for some reason our video is not ready, we will let all parents know on Wednesday! **Students get to keep their shirts and will be bringing them home this day.
