This week we wrote to Santa. We composed our letters and they are ready to go! Now if we can just find the time to address our letter. :S
We also learned new holiday vocabulary in French, in particular pieces in a Christmas Tree. Dans un sapin de Noel, il y a des grelots (bells), des guirlandes (garland), des lumieres (lights), des etoiles (stars), des boules de Noel (ball ornaments), des decorations (decorations), and many more. (See Vocabulary section for pronunciation and pictures) ** VOCABULARY SECTION WILL NOT BE UPDATED UNTIL NEXT WEEK** (my iPad died-where the video is stored-and my recharging cord is at school.)
We also had 3 assemblies this week. On Tuesday, we had the Minister of Education and a few MLA's come to our school for an announcement. On Wednesday, we had Take Pride, Winnipeg! come and present us with a bench! That's right! We collected more than 31,000 plastic bags during the Bags Up, Winnipeg campaign and earned 2 bird houses and a bench all made with plastic bags. Then on Friday afternoon, the Kindergarten classes presented their monthly assembly. At this last assembly, 4 of our very own, Pauline, Declan, Benjamin and Sydney were recognized for speaking well in French and being a good friend. Congratulations!!!
On Friday, we got together with Mme Kirk's class across the hall and made 2 different art projects to celebrate Diwali (a celebration of lights) for the up-coming Winter Concert. We made Rangoli, typically rangoli is made on the ground using coloured rice flour, but we made our designs on cardboard using glue and coloured rice. We also decorated elephants with jewelled stickers and lots and lots of glitter. How our art is beautiful!
**PICTURES TO COME! Once iPad recharged!**
