WEEKLY UPDATE: NOVEMBER 25, 2018
We had another fun and busy week at Robina Baker! The Grade Fours had the Bennett Centre into the classroom; we kicked off our Devon Christmas Elves Campaign and we had our Wellness Afternoon (see photos below). I had the opportunity to spend some time in all of the classrooms. We are so impressed with all the learning and hard work that happens in our building every single day.
Can you believe it is just one month until Christmas! We are working hard on our Christmas Concerts. Be sure to mark your calendars and enter our Comfy Couch Contest - details below. We will also be doing another Christmas Paint Event - stay tuned as details will be released shortly.
Wellness Afternoon
What a great way to end the week! On Friday afternoon all students participated in the Wellness Afternoon. Students went to four different types of sessions - body, mind, food and fun. Sessions included: Smoothie Making, Mindfulness, Healthy Snack Making, Yoga, Positive Affirmations, Board Games, Totem Art, BOKS activities, Funny Animal Videos, Cooperative Games and Play Zone. See some photos below, but click on THIS LINK for many many more from the day.
ASSEMBLY - NOVEMBER THEME : NUTRITION
Grade 3s - Nutrition presentation
Thank you to our grade 3s from 3A & 3B for doing a fun nutrition presentation. It coordinated perfectly with the healthy food awareness and challenge we are working on with our students to be mindful of what they eat.
See this week's agenda below to find out everything we did in this week's assembly!
Students of the Week
Congratulations to this week's winners!
BOKS KID OF THE WEEK!
Each week our BOKS coaches will collaborate to choose our BOKS kid of the week. This is a student who perseveres, gives their best, is a good role model for others and never complains.
Congratulations to this week's winner!
Christmas Elves Campaign
The Grade 3 classes, as part of their Global Citizenship unit in Social Studies, will be organizing the Christmas Elves food drive - doing the collection, delivery, and sorting of the food that is donated. The food needs to be delivered to the Christmas Elves on December 8th so we are asking that all donations be brought to the school by December 5th.
This year, the students can begin bringing in donations to their classrooms on November 26th. We will have two special days, on November 29th and 30th, where students can trade in donations for tickets. These tickets will be put into a draw giving their family the chance to win the Comfy Couch for one of the Christmas Concert performances.
We have been in contact with the Christmas Elves and this is their food “wish list”. These are just some of the needed food items but any food donation is greatly appreciated.
Thank you so much for your support!
