Our Kindergarten class enjoyed participating in STEM activities yesterday incorporating creativity, cooperation and engineering skills.

A group of 5 kindergarten students made this snowman familie entirely on their own. It was so much fun!

Message from the Library:

UNPLUG & PLAY FAMILY LITERACY WEEK 2020

The 9th annual Interior Savings Unplug and Play Family Literacy Week takes place from January 25th to February 1st, 2020. A great chance for students to become aware of their screen time use and "unplug" from devices more often during this week. Many activities will be held in and around Kamloops for students to find a healthy balance between technology use and making time for reading and physical activity. Students will be bringing home Unplug & Play Challenges with all the information about Unplug & Play Week. These challenges can be filled out and returned to their teacher by Friday, February 7th for a chance to win randomly drawn prizes!

Please help your child(ren) dress warmly for this cold weather:
-winter jacket
-snow pants
-winter boots
-winter toque (hat)
-winter gloves

Elementary Policy regarding Cold Weather in determining if students go outside or remain inside during non-instructional times is as follows:

Temperature Guidelines:
 BELOW FREEZING (-1° Celsius to -15° Celsius)
Students will be expected to go outside for the duration of regularly scheduled outdoor time (before school, recess, lunch and after school) providing the wind speed is less than 15 km/h. If the wind speed is 15 km/h or more, reference will be made to the wind chill (‘feels like’) temperature. If the wind speed is 15 km/h or greater and the wind chill is -15° Celsius or colder, students will remain inside for supervision.
If the wind starts to pick up and students start to show signs of significant discomfort, the bell will ring early to allow students to come inside to their classroom, for the remainder of the outside play time.

 TEMPERATURE REACHES -16°Celsius to -19° Celsius
If the temperature reaches -16° Celsius to -19° Celsius, but the wind speed is less than 15 km/h, students will go outside for regular morning recess (15 minutes) and outside for 15 minutes of lunch recess (instead of 30 minutes). Students will be supervised in classrooms for the remaining 15 minutes of lunch recess. Should the wind speed be 15 km/h or higher, reference will be made to the wind chill (‘feels like’) temperature; should the wind chill be -15° Celsius or colder, students will remain inside for supervision.

 TEMPERATURE REACHES -20 Celsius
If the temperature reaches -20° Celsius, students will be supervised indoors (before school, recess, lunch, and/or after school).
