Bird's Eye View Snowman Project
This week our class started a new art project to display during the Fireside Festival Scavenger Hunt. Students were eager to learn how to use their metal compass from within their geometry sets in order to create perfect circles with the correct measurements. Students worked with concepts such as measurement, patterning, and perspective to create their snowman masterpiece using pastels!

Our Fireside Scavenger Hunt Clue: Find a snowman with a familiar face! Can you find him?

Fireside Festival
One of the highlights of our week in Learning Centre 4 was the Fireside Festival. The school and community gathered in the gymnasium to sing and celebrate the upcoming holidays. Our class, accompanied by Mr. Sinclair's Grade 5/6 class, sang Jingle Bell Rock, Deck the Halls and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. At the evening performance, families took part in a scavenger hunt around the school. It was a great night with friends and family in our community.


Congratulations to Kate who won a Fireside Festival food hamper!

GMS Holiday Reading Logs: Read to Succeed! 
School reading logs were sent home on the last day of school to encourage home reading during the holidays. Read with your child for a minimum of 20 minutes every day. Each student that completes the holiday reading log can return it to school after the break. They will have their name entered into a draw to win a prize!

Important Dates and Reminders:
Monday, January 5: First Day Back to School. December Class Reading Logs are Due (GMS Holiday Reading Log is also due this week if participating in the draw!)


Happy Holidays to You and Your Family!
