Hi parents,
Yesterday we celebrated Remembrance Day with a solemn assembly in the morning (wearing our hand-made poppies) and some activities and a story in the afternoon. The children brought home a special Remembrance Day newspaper (in both French and English) that you can look at and read together. My own grandfather was in the Navy during WWII, and though he was not feeling well enough to come visit our class this year, I did share a couple of his stories (ask about the fish), and the kids told me about people they know of who were involved in war.
Last week, we worked on a watercolour and pastel rendering of a field of poppies. We talked about the closest poppies looking biggest, and the poppies that were in the distance being so small that you can't tell their petals apart. They look gorgeous, don't you think?
Here is one final video of our waltz (I got the music this time). So happy with how we did on this!
Don't forget tomorrow is a PA day. See you Monday!
