It is hard to believe that it is already March. The time seems to be passing so quickly! Over the past few weeks, the grade fours have been working together with our grade five teacher Mrs. Sampson. As a part of our work in health, we have been learning about the Calgary Board of Education's Code of Conduct. Our focus was on the learning outcome: personal well-being is supported through positive relationships built on communication, empathy and respect. We looked a a student friendly version of the document and learned all about our responsibilities in being welcoming, caring, safe and respectful. The students had a fantastic time creating skits to illustrate examples from the document. We have some talented actors in grade four!

Despite the rain, the grade fours had a fantastic time on our field trip to Heritage Park. It was wonderful to experience all of our learning in Social Studies first hand. We sheltered from the rain in a tipi, felt beaver pelts as we learned about the fur trade and rode a train like the ones that helped to make settlement in the West possible. Seeing the first settler homes, the "soddies", homes that housed families with sixteen children and sandstone buildings helped the students to better understand what life was like for early settlers. Most are happy that they are able to go to a school with hundreds of students and one grade per classroom rather than a one room schoolhouse of the past!

It was a very exciting day at Andrew Sibbald today. It is hard to believe that today the school participated in its 19th Big Brave Event. It was incredible to see so many students participating this year. The students were able to raise over $73 000 for The Big Brave. Today's event was such a fantastic celebration of the students hard work. Their efforts will help to send over 500 children to Camp Kindle. A huge thank you to all the families who helped to make this event a success.

This week, the students were engaged in The Andrew Sibbald Summer Games. Throughout the week, they took part in a variety of challenges where they worked together in a different physical tasks. They showed positive teamwork as they encouraged one another to achieve a common goal. We were excited to finish off the week with our pancake breakfast and sports day.
