Time seems to be really flying by this January! It was really fantastic to have warmer weather and outside recesses this week. Just a reminder to all that this upcoming week is the first of our two skating weeks this winter . . . there are still about 30 permission forms that have not been done yet! We would appreciate all forms being done by tomorrow morning. Thank you in advance for your help with this.
ASSEMBLY UPDATE:
We continued to work on good behaviour/good manners theme while working our way towards the February Kindness theme. Our students did some great working together in their cross grade partners to discuss the abstract message of the "Color Your World with Kindness" video. You can click here for the agenda: January 19th Assembly Agenda
CONGRATULATIONS!!! to OUR STUDENTS' OF THE WEEK:
Robina Baker Skating Information
The Kindergarten through grade 4 students will be going skating for two weeks this year. This first week is January 22-25, 2018 with the second one occurring on February 12-15, 2018.
Click here for the schedule for both weeks.
Here is a quick peek at this week's schedule:
Each grade will have a ½ hour time slot on the ice in which they will be participating in learn to skate activities and games which are appropriate for their ability level.
All students must have a current CSA approved helmet. A cage is recommended but is not mandatory for skating. Hockey sticks will only be allowed for students in grade 1-4 on the last session of each skating week. For a student to be allowed to play hockey they will need to have a full cage on their skating helmet.
Students need to wear CSA approved helmets
For example, hockey helmets (need a full cage if they want to play shinny), downhill skiing helmets or horseback riding helmets – Absolutely NO BIKE HELMETS will be allowed.
School skates/helmets
The school does have skates and helmets that can be borrowed by students should they find they do not have skates that fit or a helmet meeting the CSA requirement.
Jackets on!
All students must wear their outdoor jackets while skating. We are really trying to limit the number of runny noses and sick kids that follow a week of students skating around in shirts or hoodies. Gloves are a must – they keep fingers warm and offer a bit of protection from falls! Ski pants are also encouraged, especially with the younger skaters.
Volunteers
All classes are required to have supervision on and off the ice. If you can help out during your child’s skating time, please let your teacher know.
Permission Forms must be completed by January 21- click here for PowerSchool
Once again, Robina Baker will be taking part in collaboration with the Town of Devon and walking through Devon’s trail system. Grade 1-4 students will be walking with classes enjoying fresh air, exercise and celebrating the beauty of winter. This will be followed by Hot Chocolate generously provided by The Town of Devon.
We ask that students dress warmly in snow pants, boots, mitts and a toque.
Please visit Powerschool to give permission for your child to participate before February 6! Note: Kinders will remain on school grounds for their walk and do not need permission forms signed.
Each class will require one or two volunteers to walk with them. We also require some volunteers to remain at the school to help prepare the hot chocolate. Please let your child’s teacher know if you can help out this day. If you are able to help prepare and hand out hot chocolate, please email Mrs. Kloschinsky - kathy.kloschinsky@blackgold.ca .
