All the Grade 4s took part in a coding workshop this afternoon and worked with the programming language Scratch, building an animation story, choosing characters, creating what the characters say (they chose a comedian to tell a joke), when the character tells the joke, and a laughter soundtrack. Ask your kids to tell you all about it!
After recess, Clairlea staff and students took part in a community Terry Fox Run. How many laps around the school and neighbourhood did they run? Better ask them! Thank you for the generous support (way to go Matthew!) for the Terry Fox 2017 campaign. Some students gave so generously from their own pockets (wow!) and some students are still interested in donating. You can donate online or send in a cash donation until next week. Thank you for your support!
Orange Shirt Day Reminder - Every Child Matters
Just a reminder that Friday (tomorrow) is Orange Shirt Day at Clairlea where we continue the ongoing discussions around residential schools. We remember the First Nations children who were removed and isolated from their families and forced to attend government-sponsored religious schools. Looking forward to seeing you all in orange tomorrow. My shirt is ready.
I heard a lot about the coding! Love seeing the excitement. Thank you!
