Design a Club

In the story “The Reptile Club” Rory makes a poster to advertise his club to other kids.

Use a blank piece of paper to design a poster for a club you would like to start. Maybe it’s a club you would like to have at school next year or maybe it’s one you can start right away with your family!

Try to include:

1. The name of your club

2. What day the club meets

3. What time the club meets

4. Where the club meets

Share a picture of your poster with Mrs. Fraser at sfraser1@ugcloud.ca to show it on the website!

Research Reptiles

What is your favourite reptile?

Rory had many reptiles in his club including a gecko. You can learn about geckos (and many other types of reptiles) by visiting UG2GO and clicking on Pebble Go.

Blue Spruce Puzzle Challenge

Over the past few months of school, when we read a Blue Spruce book, I would have a rebus puzzle each week for the kids to solve. Here are all the puzzles that we have solved so far.

There is a brand new one at the bottom! Try and solve the puzzle with your child. The answer will be posted next week! All the pictures together will spell out a special message!
