Weekly Prayer
Dear Lord,
You are compassionate to those in need and heal the sick in body and mind.
Look kindly on those who are fearful at this time.
Help us to put away all thoughts and actions that separate us from you and from one another. Give us grace to live our lives confident in your promise that you are with us always.
Amen.

Music - In the key of Mrs. Blanchard
Dear Students and Parents
Did you know...
Music is also connected to Science and Math?
Below are the first and second episodes of The Edmonton Symphony Orchestra SOUNDS INTERESTING series about the acoustics at the Winspear.
I have also attached some trivia questions.
Have fun learning about the science of sound with our very own, Edmonton Symphony Orchestra.
Thank you everyone!
Yours in music,
Mrs. Blanchard

Last week was a sweaty one. Our triathlon training was certainly a challenge especially with the Grade 4's voting to have me in a wetsuit. This past week has also had a lot of rain so here is a fun workout challenge for you especially if the weather isn't great.
The chair challenge: Take an ordinary chair (preferably one without a footrest) and time how long it takes you to step over it 15 times, go around it 10 times and go under it 5 times. Check out the video demonstration here. My time was 2 minutes. What's your best time?
As always, we will continue to have our Google Meet at 12:30 on Tuesday and Thursday. Use the nickname 'spindlerpe'.
You can check out any of our past workouts on Google Classroom. Just use your grade level's code:
Grade 1: d3wb5yu
Grade 2: cscak3i
Grade 3: kzeyil2
Grade 4: ilcnb6u
All the best,
Mr. Spindler
