Welcome Back!

We are getting into the swing of things. 
We had a great Terry Fox Run.  It was a really hot day and the kids did very well walking the 2km. 
We saw Mrs. Walkins get a pie in the face and a bucket of water dumped over top! Why? Due to generous top up by a parent, we made over $1000 for the Terry Fox Foundation!  Way to go Fairview!  We enjoyed the oranges that were cut up and distributed by the PAC.  #stayhydrated!

Welcome to 2017!

The students were busy in the month of December and hopefully, everyone is rested and healthy as we begin a new year!  Our focus this month will be on our community and the concept of 'courage'.
We want to encourage students to approach learning and, well, life in general from a mindset of courage.  So we will begin to explore the idea in our class through books and projects.  I am excited to learn and grow alongside the children!

Wacky Water Day!

For the only day that week, the sun came out for our Wacky,Wonderful Water Day! The kids played a water relay, explored at water stations and ended with a fun water balloon toss!  It was a hoot!

Owls In The Library

We kicked off our study of owls with a visit to the Library to see the 'owl lady' from the Orphaned Wildlife Society (O.W.L.S). She did an amazing talk on raptors in our area,

showed us many hands on items and brought two live birds to show us. It was very interesting and the students learned many new facts about owls.  We will participate in a number of owl themed activities this month including another visit from an owl expert and owl stations.

Ryder"s Big Win!

Our very own Ryder won a New Years Day fishing derby over the holidays! This is a pretty big deal for someone his age!  Great work,  Ryder!

At the Applebarn

We had a great trip to the Applebarn!  The bus was fun and we liked seeing the bunnies, picking our pumpkins and going on the slide!  The weather held and we had a beautiful day!  A big thank-you to all the parents who helped out!
