Upcoming Field Trip to the Coquitlam Watershed

Field Trip 

to the 

Coquitlam Watershed

4S on Monday, Sep. 29

4V on Tuesday, Sep. 30

from 8:55-2:30 

Space is limited so we can only take two adults.  

A bus operated by metro Vancouver will transport us. 

Exploring the Watersheds & Discovering Connections 

We plan to experience this special place and discover its unique treasures. This is a place where few people go, wildlife abounds, trees tower in mountains and valleys and water moves through natural landscapes to our water supply system.

We will hop on the ‘water’ bus, see the dam, learn how water gets from reservoir to tap and explore what makes watershed ecosystems important through fun, student-centered activities.

Students will make connections between healthy ecosystems and a healthy water supply. Once they've experienced the magic, they will be reminded of their special day, every time they turn on the tap! 

First Week in 4S

A Few Reminders

The grade four teachers would really appreciate your help in ensuring that your child is as prepared as possible for the school year.  Could you please make sure that your child has...

1 - A school P.E. shirt and shorts LABLED with at least their last name.
2 - Suitable running style shoes for indoor P.E. - also known as 'indoor shoes.'
3 - A reusable water bottle.
4 - An earthquake comfort kit.

Thank you!

THIS MONDAY! International Literacy Awareness Day

On Monday, September 8 at 10:00 am, all Pre-K through grade 7 students will drop everything and read (or be read to) for at least 10 minutes.  Students will be encouraged to do this bare-footed to remind us that many children around the world lack much of we take for granted each and every day.  We are also encouraging students to bring in coins to support literacy at our sister schools in Honduras and Sierra Leone.

Today in 4V

What a GREAT first full day!  A lot of new experiences were packed in to the day including bucket drumming in music class, a visit to the newly relocated computer lab, and playing outside FIRST before eating lunch.  This afternoon was spent completing a math assessment and working on an art project.  Tomorrow morning is our first chapel of the new school year.  Everyone is invited!  It will start at approximately 8:50am.

We're Ready!!!

Summer is almost over!  It's time to gear up for a new school year!  We are SO excited to meet our new grade four students!  Three more sleeps!  YIPPPEEE!
