Hello, 5B families!
We have enjoyed an exciting “Catholic Schools Week”! It was wonderful to see so many of you at the Student Led conferences as well. Here are some more highlights.
Students have creatively used their math, design and art skills to create their own “Chinese News Year”-themed division board games celebrating the year of the dragon.
We had an exciting “Face to Face” musical retreat in the gym.
It was a nice surprise and coincidence when Face to Face ministries gave a dramatic retelling of the biblical story of Jonah—the very story we have been studying lately!
This week we did Division tests #2 and #3, as well as our Spelling Test on our list of homonym words.
This week also included games, dance breaks, special surprises, prizes, and even a playground switch! We also had a “bring your stuffie to school day”!
Also, we were happy when the “Principal for a Day” winner was chosen from our class! Amelia represented our 5B class with grace and generosity. She was joined by Michaela, who acted as administrative support staff.
On Friday, we enjoyed the independent schools’ grade 5 basketball jamboree. The girls travelled to St.Margaret’s and the boys played their tournament at SMUS. It was a wonderful afternoon of sport!
Another athletic highlight was when we watched the grade 7s play volleyball against the teachers on Thursday at lunch time!
Check out the St. Patrick’s Facebook page for more photos of the week.

Students, please review your division quizzes with family at home. Also, please make sure to choose a Bible story to get ready to retell; you will perform the story on February 22nd.
