 Hello families,

We will be tie-dying our plain t-shirts for our Grade 5 Send Off on Thursday, June 22. Please make sure that your child has brought in their white shirt to be able to participate. Additionally, please make sure that your child wears clothes that would be okay to get potential dye on it. 

We will be having our school-wide Play Day on Friday, June 23. This has a special theme to it: Western Wear! This means you can come dressed with denim and plaid in good 'ol Calgarian fashion! Students are asked to make sure that they dress for varied weather and bring a water bottle. Students can come with sunscreen, but will be responsible for applying it themselves. Students will be given freezies as a treat on Play Day. If you DO NOT want your child to have the freezie, please email me as soon as possible and send an alternative snack for your child instead. If I do not receive an email, that will mean that your child has permission to have the treat. 

(The ingredients are: Water, glucose-fructose/sugar, citric acid, simulated flavours, sodium carboxymenthyl cellulose (stabilizer), sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate (to maintain freshness, stevia extract, colour.)


Today we...


We finished up our science presentations about severe weather!


We learned about the importance of the Summer Solstice and learned from Elder Saa'kokoto. We had a circle discussion around the buffalo robe and talked about the new flags: Treaty 7, Metis, and Inuit.


To celebrate the buffalo, we did an art project! We will be completing them tomorrow!

Tomorrow is Imagination Day!

S EVEN IMAGINATION ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS (FROM ‘I SEE ME’)  On Thursday, March 23, our Spirit Day at Northern Lights School will be Imagination Day! Imagination can also be sparked at home. Imaginative children are generally more creative, better problem-solvers, and more confident than their peers, so child psychologists emphasize the need for imaginative play.  Unfortunately, the modern world’s fixation on television, video games, and highly structured activities tends to stifle, rather than encourage, imagination.  We’d like to suggest seven imagination activities for kids to help them grow and develop their creativity: Dress Up: Dress-up and play "let’s pretend" games have fostered imagination activities for kids for centuries.  Encourage them to create their own imaginary worlds with a trunk of dress-up clothing. Old Halloween costumes, interesting clothing from thrift stores, and a selection of hats and accessories can keep kids occupied for hours.    Reading: Reading enc
