The Library has been overrun by pirates! The last two weeks we have been learning about pirates. The students used their mapping skills to do an excellent job of their treasure maps. I was also very impressed with the guided drawings they did of their peg-legged buckaneers! There are some great How-to-Draw websites. Make sure you have your parents' permission before you look for them! Check out this link to learn how to draw a pirate: http://www.videojug.com/film/how-to-draw-a-cartoon-pirate
MAY DAY
The big event this month is May Day! All of the classes are learning about this unique New Westminster tradition as well the history of the Royal City.
This year, there is a May Day contest for grades one to five to win a free lunch for their class. Have a look at the May Day blog to learn more about New Westminster and the contest:
YEAR END
The last day to check out books is Thursday, June 9th. We are doing inventory at the end of June and need to have all the books back on the shelves by then.
Please make sure that all overdue books are returned and all lost books are paid for.
THE ROYAL WEDDING
How many of you got up (or stayed up) to watch the Royal Wedding?
I watched the ceremony in my pyjamas and tiara while drinking tea and munching on scones. Luckily, my day off is Friday, which left me time to help with the McBride staff Royal Wedding Fish and Chip Lunch in the library. Even our Superintendent, Dr. Woudzia was able to join us as we watched the wedding on the SMARTboard and had our Cockney King's lunch.
All of the "Royal" books are now quite popular!
And so are the hockey books - Go Canucks Go!
