Field Trip!!
Hey everyone! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! LOVE the sunshine!
On Tuesday we will be heading out to Ft. Langley to spend the afternoon at the Ft. Langley National HIstoric Site. We will be leaving school at 10:45 and having lunch at the fort. The program goes until 2:30 so we will head back right after that, returning approx. 3:30pm.
Please dress appropriately for this trip. I’ve looked at the Vancouver & Chilliwack weather forecasts and one says sun while the other says rain…=) We will be spending a lot of time outdoors so make sure to bring an umbrella or coat with hood in case of rain.
I received a few forms back that said parents are available to come on the field trip. If you can come, please do! We would love as many parents as possible.
Also, a gentle reminder to students that no electronice, except a camera, are allowed on the bus. =)
Looking forward to seeing you all on Tuesday!

Science Test Study Guide
Hot on the heals of our Social Studies test, the students will be having a Science test on Wednesday, June 1st. I have embedded a study guide below for you and your child to look through and practice with.
Whoops!
Thanks Micah for pointing out a mistake on the Arctic Exploration Study Guide. Please make the following change to your study guide (back page, under Henry Larsen):
Henry Larsen was born in NORWAY…not England.
See you all on Thursday!
Mrs. Goosen =)

The Mystery of Oak Island
On an island off the coast of Nova Scotia, there is something hidden. Nobody know what or who hid it but something is there at the bottom of a pit that no one can get too. Stones with clues, log floors built every 10 metres, coconut fibres, traps that fill the pit with water from the ocean. . . these are just a few of the things to be found on Oak Island.
As part of our writing today, students took a look at the things that pirates stole or plundered. As we learned, most times it was not gold, silver and other precious metals. Most times it was plain ordinary things that the pirates needed. However, there are lots of stories, myths and legends concerning buried treasure and one of them is about a hole on a little island off the coast of Nova Scotia.
Here is some info and videos. I also included a couple of links to find out more!

Spelling for Week of May 16
Spring Spectrum Tomorrow!
The days are getting busy!
Tomorrow night is the Spring Spectrum. The concert starts at 7:00. However, students should be in the class by 6:45 at the latest so we can be organized and ready to go.
One change from previous years will be that students are to remain with teachers until the end. So before and after they perform students will be sitting with their class.
