What a fun day!!!

What a beautiful day to be outside and play soccer!

We had a privilege to have Ottawa Soccer Fury members come in and teach our students some basic soccer skills.  We had lots of fun! One of the most important skills that we learned was, to be a team player!

Our Visit to Canadian Agricultural Farm!!!

For some it was a first time to be either on the bus or going on a field trip. Whatever it was, it was a perfect sunny day! We learned, laughed, sang and enjoyed throughout the day. 

Enjoy our field trip...

Field Trip!!!

Hello All,

I hope you all enjoyed today's weather!

Thank you to everyone who showed their interest in volunteering for the field trip. I was only allowed to have four volunteers, so please accept my apologies if you are not one of those four parents. 

Things you have to make sure to send with your child on the trip:

- Proper clothing (please check the weather)

- Comfortable shoes

- Lunch and snacks 

- Extra pairs of socks

- sunscreen

- sunhat 

Plus, talk to your child about appropriate behaviour on the bus and at the museum. It always helps if the message is the same from both home and school. 

Thanks a lot for your ongoing help and support! 

We are really excited for this trip!

Best regards,

Ms. Jawed

Nature Scavenger Hunt...

On Tuesday, we went on Nature Scavenger Hunt... Kids loved it as they were able to find all the items on the list! They worked collaboratively to make sure that each and everyone was able to find all the items:-). As they found the items they drew it on their sheet of paper...

Arts Night!

On Thursday, May 9th, we had our very first Carleton Heights' - Evening of the Arts and it was a huge success!
Here our some of the snapshots from that night in case you missed it...

 Tile Art for Mother's Day was also displayed by our Room 8 Kinders...

Performances and Arts by other classes...

Dairy Presentation ...

As part of our Heath and Physical curriculum, last month we had a Dairy Presentation. The presentation taught us about different items that we get from milk and the benefits of milk and its products. We also learn about how dairy farmers milk the cows and the machine that they use.

Wacky Hair Day...

Hello everyone,

You might have heard from your little ones that tomorrow we have a Spirit Day at Carleton Heights. For this spirit day we are to come to school with a funkiest hairstyle! So take out your hairbrushes and gels and get creative...

Cheers,

Ms. Jawed

D.E.A.R

We have started a new program in Room 8,  Drops Everything And Reads (D.E.A.R)! For 20 minutes, all of us grab a book or two and read. It is very fascinating to see 4-5 years old read quietly for this amount of time:-)!

GO SENS GO!!!

Sens Army Comes to CHPS

Senators are in the playoffs! To support our Sens, Student Council has organized a spirit day for our school this Thursday, May 2nd. All staff and students are encouraged to wear red and white, or Sens sportswear... Let's show our spirit Kinders!!!

Our New Inquiry Focus...

We have started our Sound inquiry. To spark the interest we had few glass jars and glasses filled with different amount of water and a wooden stick. Today was the third day, and some of our friends have already started to compose their own music!

What's new in Room 8...

We welcomed our new ECE student teacher, Mrs. Kennedy to our kinder team. She will be with us until the first week of June.

We turned our drama centre into Tim Hortons... Students will learn about money, measurement (different sizes of cups) and capacity. They will also learn to interact with each other in public setting, the norm of the restaurant and the roles of the server and the customer. To incorporate Language, we made our menu and signs. Students will get lots of opportunity to communicate orally and to think critically about the kind of language and vocabulary that the adults use in this kind of settings.
