Fun Times At Lunch

Another gorgeous day on the west coast!  SCS kids enjoyed their lunch recess participating in all sorts of activities.


A Gift Each Week

The grade fours LOVE it when Mr. Beimers takes time out of his day to read to them. Currently, he is reading the novel, 'The Magician's Nephew' by C.S. Lewis. THANK YOU, MR. BEIMERS!

4V Learns to Play Ultimate Frisbee

On Friday, two grade 12 students (Jake and Kyle) came to visit 4V and teach us all about ultimate frisbee.  After spending some time in a warm-up game of 'British Bulldog,' we practiced throwing and catching the disc in small groups.  Jake and Kyle did a great job teaching us all about the rules of the game, and then coached us through a few practice games.  Students quickly realized that this is very much a running game!

Student Led Conferences

This past Wednesday, students had the opportunity to share their learning and reflect on the past seven (almost eight!) months.  Parents were invited to spend time perusing school work and participate in learning activities in the classroom.  Students did a great job leading their conferences and taking ownership of their learning!

4V - Fun With Fractions, Decimals, Percents and Ratios

We are learning about equivalent expressions in math! 


Don't forget that there are lots of great games and activities to work on these concepts.  Just go to the math page on the practice blog under the heading, 'DECIMALS, PERCENT AND FRACTIONS.'

Drivers Needed!

Each class will be visiting the Surrey Museum over the next few weeks. We will be participating in the 'People of the Land' experience.  Our plan is to explore the BC West Coast First Nations traditions of resource gathering.  As well, we will learn why the cedar tree is known as the “Tree of Life” and try cedar weaving, then enjoy a traditional feast of berries and salmon.

All three field trips will take place on Tuesdays from 12:30pm to 2:00pm at the Surrey Museum.  We will be departing from the middle campus at 12:00pm.

If you are able to help us out by driving, please send an email or note (via your child's planner) to your child's classroom teacher.  Please indicate how many children you can take.

4V - April 23
4D - May 7
4S - May 14

Thank you!
