  Quote “Bonhomme has got his own security.” (Overheard during Carnivale celebrations on February 25. Introduction Hi we are Sydney and Natalie. We’re good friends who love hanging out with our friends. Natalie really likes gymnastics and Sydney likes drawing and teaching her dog new tricks. The Rose It was Family Day last week. We like school, but you can’t beat a long weekend. It was also Carnivale. It is the first time in nearly two years that we have been able to do something as a school. It felt so good to be outside with everyone from Grade 4 - 8. The Grade 8s ran each station and the Grade 7s were team captains to help out the students in the Junior Grades. We were Team 8 - check out the sign we made. The Thorn The cold weather continued…especially on Wednesday. We are hopeful that spring is coming soon.  The Bud   Next week is a short one. We get school off on Friday. Mr. Hodgkinson says he has to learn with other teachers…but that seems a lot easier than tea...

I didn't because I don't have any interest in those things. Still, people were excited. My classmates practicing serves The Thorn We had to write a French test.

Introduction This week’s writer is Henry. My favorite subject is math (nerd!!!!) and I like super cool stuff that you can’t even begin to comprehend. Also, I likes throwing my friends into lava. Classroom Quote Of The Week! "I feel like I'm in a social quarantine". (Kyusung) The Rose This week was a great week! On Wednesday, it was Global School Play Day (GSPD), which means we got a whole day off just to have fun and relax! GSPD is an annual event where schools are encouraged to give their students a full day to play. After all, "Play is the work of a child". The only rules are...be safe and no screens. We built blanket forts, brought in board games, played cards & chess, and built crafts together. At one point we moved the furniture and played "Gaga Ball" right in the portable. We even went over to the park to play outside even though it was cold and snowy. Not regular snow either. The really wet stuff. Another awesome things happened this week. W...
