Primary 4

September 2026

We have started out the new school year strong with incredible families and children, old and new. This month our focus literature has been the Kissing Hand by Audrey Penn. It has helped our class remember that even though we are starting something new we bring our loved ones with us wherever we go. We have also grown caterpillars to butterflies. We got to observe Mother Nature in action and the children enjoyed learning about the different types of butterflies there are.

Our class also introduced the continents of our world as a warm up before going more in depth this upcoming year. They have explored picture cards and puzzles as well as books to begin thinking about this concept. The new Autumn season arrived also and we have spoken about seasonal changes, including falling leaves, the growth of pumpkins and the chilly weather. There is a lot of groundwork to be done but we are optimistic that the children will enjoy learning with us along the way!

Summer 2026

The summer 2026 months have been a summer to remember. The children enjoyed the Tuesday water days, and loved having the new water slide that was donated to our school! It made for a nice way to cool down this summer. Our Wednesday bubble days have also been a blast and the children loved running, jumping and catching the bubbles made from our giant bubble sticks. Fridays were our fun days and we enjoyed them by having popsicles during the hot weather.

The kids loved these days so much. We also had so many awesome guests that got to visit. These visitors include our local police department, military service members, a magician, Val the Mad scientist, and John our reptile expert! We learned so much together and are so grateful to have had a fun packed summer with great weekly themes and activities that kept our minds stimulated. We are now ready for a new school year and look forward to all the fun there is ahead.
