Hello everyone!

An important reminder:

  • If your child will not be attending NLS for the next school year (2026-2027), please send me an email informing me. *This is not for students who will be attending Alex Munro - you do not need to send me an email*.

Here is what we have been up to this week: 

Social Studies - This week, we reviewed Confederation and discusses Anglophone and Francophone perspectives on Confederation. We learned that although both groups did not agree to it, they were able to work through their differing opinions to help create Canada. We also talked about Canada's government and learned what the federal government and provincial governments are in charge of. 


 

 

 

Writing - We worked extremely hard to finish off our informative writing! Ask your child about this :)

 
 
 
 

 

Math - We learned how we can classify triangles based on their angles and length of sides. We also learned about the different types of quadrilaterals.

 

 

 

 

P.E. - Gymnastics!
 

 

 

 

Science - We discussed the importance of classifying living things based on their appearance, habitat and structures. We learned about mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and birds as well and their external structures.




 

 


Art - Geometric art! Ask your child about this!

Hello 4C Families! A few important reminders for back to school: Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. Please also read through the Northern Lights News every Friday - found on the school website here. Personal Mobile Devices and Social Media Use in Our School - K - 9 students will not be permitted to use personal mobile devices during the school day. Student devices brought to school must be out of sight and either powered off or set to silent.

Welcome! We are so excited to be starting the 2024-2025 year with you! This year, our whole school will be using Blogger to make regular agenda posts.  To make it easier for you, you can add the blog right on to the home screen of your phone or iPad by following the directions on the “Adding Blogger to Home Screen” document. We hope this makes the communication between home and school easier and opens up great conversations between you and your child.  The CBE and Mrs. Brinson will be communicating information to you through School Messenger email titled ‘Northern Lights News for ___”.

Hello everyone! Some important reminders (especially the ones in RED !): Please ensure that you check the blog every Friday as this will be the main form of communication regarding student activities during the school day and upcoming events. To support your child’s literacy skills, I encourage you to set aside time each day for reading at home. Sharing stories together or letting your child choose their favourite books can make reading a fun and enjoyable experience. Your involvement plays a crucial role in developing their love for reading and improving their skills. Every two months, I send home a Scholastic book flyer. If you want to purchase books for your child to read at home, please use the code that is written on the flyer. Using my code helps me gain reward points that I can use towards buying books for the classroom library. You can also obtain a library card and check out books for your child free of cost. Happy reading! To help support your child's numeracy skills, pra...
