Strategic Moves!

 What better way to end the week than learning to play chess? The kids learned about the Medieval connections to the game, and the development of the Sultan's Vizier into the Queen that we know today. There are a couple of good sites online for kids to play beginner level - http://www.kidchess.com/index.html and http://www.chesskids.com/newcourse/index.htm

This afternoon, we are going to attempt - as a whole school - to break the Guinness Book of World Records record for the greatest number of people turning a cartwheel at the same time! Wish us luck! Before we do that, we are having a gymnastics demonstration. Lily W., Emma C., and Lily V. will be showing us their skills!

Congratulations Laken! Her team won the Board championship for The Battle of the Books! Way to go! French Battle of the Books is well underway. Our battles begin the last week of this month.

Some important dates for next week:

Monday - Easter Monday - no school - enjoy your family time!

Thursday - Read to Succeed at the Bracebridge Public Library

Journal for next week: Le meilleur prof du monde (The best teacher in the world) - Don't forget! If your journal is usually handed in on Tuesday, it's still due Tuesday!
