Bonjour! J'espère que vous passez un bel été. Un petit mot pour vous, mes élèves de 4e/5e année. Merci beaucoup pour une superbe année remplie de plaisir, de rires, de surprises, et de moments inoubliables. J’ai beaucoup appris de chacun d’entre vous. Je ne vous oublierai jamais. Merci aussi aux parents pour tout votre support avec vos enfants. Pour vous, une prière spéciale: 

Hello! I hope that you are having a nice summer so far. A quick word to you, my grade 4/5 students. Thank you very much for a year full of fun, laughter, surprises and unforgettable moments. I have learned so much from each and every one of you. I will never forget you. Thank you to the parents, for your endless support with your child. For you, a special prayer: 

O God of all beginnings and endings,
We praise and thank you for the gift of this school year.
It has been a time filled with grace and blessings,
With challenges and opportunities, joys and sorrows.
The days have passed quickly, O Lord.
The weeks, the months, the seasons, the holidays and holy days,
The exams, vacations, breaks, and assemblies,
All have come forth from your hand.
While we trust that your purposes have always been at work each day,
Sometimes it has seemed difficult to understand and appreciate
Just what you have been up to in our school.
Give us the rest and refreshment we need this summer.
Let our efforts of this past year bear fruit.
Bring all of our plans to a joyful conclusion,
And bless us, according to your will,
With the fulfillment of our summer hopes and dreams.
Watch over us in the weeks of rest ahead,
And guide each day as you have done this past year.
Help us return to school with a new spirit and a new energy.
May we continue to grow
In age, wisdom, knowledge and grace
All the days of our lives.
Amen.

Mme Campbell

Sortie de golf demain & la visualisation/ Golf Field Trip Tomorrow & Visualisation

J'aimerais souhaiter bonne fête des pères à tous les papas. J'espère que vous avez eu une belle fin de semaine. Voici une photo de moi et mon père cette fin de semaine:

I would like to wish a happy father's day to all of the Dads. I hope that you had a nice weekend. Here is a photo of me with my Dad this weekend:


N'oubliez pas que demain est notre sortie au centre de golf Kevin Haime. J'ai parlé à Mr. Lyons qui m'a dit que porter un chandail à collet n'est pas obligatoire. On ne recommande pas que vous portez des sandales ou des jeans. N'oubliez pas d'apporter votre dîner, une bouteille d'eau, de la crème solaire, des espadrilles et un chapeau.

Aussi, aujourd'hui nous avons lu l'histoire La musique d'Antonio. Nous avons appris que c'était l'histoire d'Antonio Vivaldi. Ensuite, nous avons écouté à son oeuvre "Four Seasons". Sur une feuille blanche, nous avons dessiné ce que nous voyons quand nous écoutons chaque saison. Voici des image de ce que nous avons fait:

Don't forget that tomorrow is our field trip to the Kevin Haime golf centre. I have spoken to Mr. Lyons, who told me that wearing a shirt with a collar is not necessary. We do not recommend that you wear sandals or jeans. Don't forget to bring your lunch, a water bottle, sunscreen, running shoes and a hat.

Also, today we read La musique d'Antonio. We learned that it was the story of Antonio Vivaldi. Then, we listened to "Four Seasons. On a white sheet, we drew what we visualized when we listened to each season. Here are some photos of what we have done:
