A message from Mme Forbes

Monday (June 22) during second block (11:20) is Water Day. Please send sunscreen and an extra set of clothes and/or bathing suit for your child. This event is weather permitting!

Bienvenue Mme Forbes!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Mme DaSilva and I would like to welcome Mme Forbes back to Cathcart. She will be teaching our class starting Wed. June 10th. 

It has been such a pleasure working with your children and getting to know them so well. I couldn't have asked for a better year at Cathcart.

Have a great summer and I hope to see you all again!

On danse avec les rubans!

As a dance activity we watched some videos of dancers with streamers. After discussing what we noticed about their dance styles and techniques we went outside with our own streamers. Our students loved this activity! Many were keeping the beat with their feet or by waving their arms up and down or left and right. Such a fun, outdoor, gros motor activity!!

Le camping

Many of our students have shared that they went camping for the May long weekend or will be going soon. We've decided to turn our dramatic play centre into a campsite! Our students are packing their bags for their camping trips, roasting marshmallows and star gazing!

Great in the moment discovery!

During some outdoor play on the climber, we were able to catch and hold this painted lady butterfly! We watched her drink from the dandilion and we all took turns holding her. This sparked an interest and discussions. We have since adopted some caterpillars into our class and hope to watch them transform in the weeks to come.

Chef Suzanne

Last week we had a very exciting cooking lesson with Chef Suzanne! We made chocolate cupcakes and learned some new french words for cooking utensils and ingredients. Thank you to parents who came to help out!

La pluie

Here's a song we've been singing on rainy days. It goes to the tune of Frère Jacques.

Tombe la plue (x2)
Du ciel gris (x2)
Sur mon petit parapluie (x2)
Flic, Flac, Floc (x2)

C'est la pluie (x2)
Dans nos rues (x2)
Qui tombe sans cesse (x2)
Sur nos têtes (x2)
