June 8 - 12

Hello!

Some important reminders:

  • Our class will be having a Board Game Day on Friday, June 19th. Students are welcome to bring a board game (or multiple) from home to share and play with their classmates. If your child brings a game, please ensure it is clearly labeled with their name and is appropriate for group play. Also, please make sure you and your child are comfortable with other students handling and playing the game, as it will be shared during the activity.
  • We heard from CBE Transportation today that only 28 families have registered for the school bus for next year (out of the 157 families that needed the school bus this year). Early registration is essential to ensure your child can ride the bus to get to school and back at the start of the school year. Families who require school bus transportation for 2026–2027 must pre-register through their MyCBE Parent account. Registering this month is critical—families who miss the deadline may experience up to a six- to eight-week delay in accessing bus service while their child is being added to the system. (This means you would need to get your child to and from school without the bus for up to six to eight weeks while registrations get processed.)
  • 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*.
  • If your child will be going on vacation/will be absent for the last few days of school, please send me an email informing me.
  • Please send you child with a reusable bag sometime early next week. This bag will stay on their coat hooks and will be filled as I begin to hand back student work. The bags will be sent home on the last week of school. 

Here is what we have been up to this week: 

Social Studies - We started our Year End Social Studies project! We spent Monday planning and began working on this for the rest of the week. 

 



 

 



Math - We learned about Statistics! We learned how to formulate a statistical question and we went around and collected data for our questions. We also learned about 3 different types of graphs.










Art with Mrs. Kiddell! Ask your child about this!





 

 
 



Science - This week, we explored animal tracks and read some books on Chromebooks about animal tracks, animal adaptations, plant adaptations, animal habitats and invertebrates and vertebrates. We also finished our task about the 5 tropisms (ask your child about this!)



  

 

 

 

 

Have a wonderful day! I hope we get some sunshine!!

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. They should be left in backpacks, lockers or areas designated by teachers or better yet - simply left at home. Please complete the Name Jar activity with your child this weekend! We will share our answers next week with the class and complete a writing activity.  Here is what we have been up to this week: Challenges - As we transitioned into Grade 4, we completed some challenges and played some fun games with o...

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 ___”. This email will include a link to the Northern Lights School Website so messages can be translated into any language.  To make sure you receive these email messages, please SUBSCRIBE using the email address you gave to the school.   - Ms. Vashi

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...
