Splish, Splash!  We have 2 new fish in our tropical fish tank. They are female guppies to go with our Fire Phoenix male guppies. Another name for them is Sunrise guppies. Now we have four guppies.  We really like them.  “Guppy” is a funny name, isn’t it!  We hope they make friends with the other fish in our tank.  Table 1

Ready, set, go!  Our Principal took some Grade 5 runners and a couple of the teachers to run 6 km. to the Terry Fox Foundation in PoCo!  That’s a long way!  There’s a statue of Terry Fox.  The whole school watched them start off, and everybody cheered!  They will have to run hard but not too fast, so that they can make it all the way. Our school raised over $600 for Terry Fox.  Table 2

They’re soft, they’re squishy, they’re bright yellow, and they’re coming to OUR houses!  Buttons and Buttons Junior are the first classroom stuffies to start visiting. They have funny big belly buttons.  We get to play with them until the next day.  One student took them into his back yard, but little Buttons Jr. fell off the swing! Oops!  Be careful, Buttons Jr.!!!  Table 3

Do you know what food group carrots are in?  bananas?  corn flakes?  tuna?  yoghurt?   The food groups are fruits and vegetables,  breads and cereals, meat-fish and alternates, milk and milk products. We had fun putting foods in the right groups using Kidspiration at the Computer Lab.  We got to drag the stamps into the right columns and then print out our picture.  Table 4

Smile!  We’re happy to be at Nestor school and you can see the wonderful faces we made in the front hall outside the office.  Everyone in the school is drawing, coloring, or painting their face to go on the wall!  There will be over 300 faces when we finish!  We made our faces at our Gr.2-Gr.5 Buddy time.  Half the class was in our room and half the class went to our Buddy classroom.  Some of us are really good at drawing!  Table 5

… and the Great Book Award goes to… LOTS of different books!  Our first Home Reading Club sheets started to come in last week.    We have heard about SO many different great books.  There were picture books, chapter books, and some really funny stories! Now we have almost EVERYONE in the class working on their second sheet, which is 40 nights of reading!  We get a certificate, a special bookmark, and everyone claps for us.  Table 6
