Upcoming Events

Dear Parents and Guardians,

It has been a wonderful week of inquiry and creativity throughout our

school as numerous students brought in cardboard box games they

created at home and at school. The ingenuity and collaboration that

went into many of them is something to be admired. Well done to all!

Parent-Teacher-Student conferences have been changed to Novem-

ber 5th in order to accommodate our upcoming IB/CIS visit taking

place on Oct 29-31st. We apologize for the change in dates and hope

it has not caused too many difficulties.

Students will soon be taking home Raz-Kids information. Raz-Kids is

an online reading program that can help students read at home and

makes reading more enjoyable for all involved. A special workshop will

be organized in the near future to help parents become familiar with

the program.

We hope to see everyone at the Celebration of Cultures this coming

Thursday! Have a great weekend.

The Moon

Festival

These are the lions dancing with Ong Dia

Recently at school we had a moon

festival in the MPR and grade 1, 2

and 3 performed something special

to celebrate the occasion.

Grade 1 performed a song, small

dance and a mini play, the song

they used was a Vietnamese song

that was sensational!

Grade 2 sang a traditional Vietnam-

ese song and a dance that is unfor-

gettable!

Grade 3 performed the dragon

dance with Ong Dia trying to tease

the dragon, with a little music.

The Vietnamese people believe that

Ong Dia is the god of the Earth that is

a little chubby and he is very cheeky

and naughty.

Then we had an announcement from

Mr. Peterson and ended the assem-

bly.

And that was the end of our moon

festival assembly.

Clean Up Your Mess!!!

There was a boy called John Mac. He

never cleans up his rubbish and all the

cleaning ladies get very tired. Every day

one of his friends would say, ‘’Clean up

your rubbish!’’

John would say, ‘’Ok one minute…’’

But he never cleans up. One day all his

friends had an idea. They thought of trick-

ing John into cleaning up his mess but

how? They thought and thought and one

of them Joey Miller (John’s best friend)

told everybody his plan. On the next day

Joey met up with John then Joey said,

“My big brother never cleans up his mess’’

he cried ‘’and a really big monster came

and said, you better clean up your mess’’

‘’I don’t believe you, your just tricking me,’’

replied John.

That night John went to sleep he heard a

noise and woke up but it was the middle of

the night and he was still sleepy so he

went back to sleep and then he heard it

again, ‘’Who’s there?’’

John cried and then a big monster

came, ‘’Clean up your mess and if you

don’t you’ll get pay back!’’

‘’Ok’’ he got a fright but then he went

back to sleep.

At school at lunch time John ate his

lunch and said, ‘’I’m going to clean my

mess today and see if I don’t’’

‘’Wow’’ everybody sitting on John’s table

were in amazement and he continued

that and every cleaning lady was very

happy and so was John.
