Wednesday, November 2nd

Phew! It's been a whirlwind of a day today!  We practised our presentation for the Remembrance Day Assembly, had a visit from Mr. Long, the storyteller, participated in a Mystery Skype with Michigan in the morning and had a surprise visit from some Surrey Eagles hockey players.  In the afternoon, we had French with Ms. McQuillan and then yet another Mystery Skype with New Zealand. The school was called Masterton Intermediate School.  Guess what day it was in New Zealand?  Thursday! It is also summer there.  We learned about time zones and the international date line. They also danced an indigenous dance for us and showed us their money and talked about their favourite athletes and sports.

Reminders:
- band instrument for tomorrow
- work on your reading journal
- blog about the Mystery Skype (where, similarities, differences etc.)
- Social Studies project due on Monday
- Friday is a Pro-D (Curriculum Day)
