Field Trip

Rooms 5 and 6 had a great day at WinSport and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame on Thursday.

For many students it was their first time ice skating. Despite nerves, everyone did an amazing job! It was a joy to see so much determination and resilience. Students went from swimming on the ice, to standing, balancing, gliding and turning. Everyone was smiling, laughing and cheering each other on.

Canada's Sports Hall of Fame is an amazing museum celebrating athletic achievements in Canada. Students were able to see artifacts and have some of Canada's greatest sporting achievements explained to them by our amazing guides.

There has been a great deal of interest in ice skating from students. Over the next week we will be putting together an information package for families who are interested in finding places to skate closer to home. As soon as it's prepared, we ill post it on the blog!

A giant THANK YOU to our parent volunteers on the day. It wouldn't have been possible without you and it is very much appreciated.

THANK YOU to all the students of rooms 5 and 6 for representing themselves and Taradale School so well. Staff at WinSport and Canada's Sports Hall of Fame complimented your manners, enthusiam, and the respect you showed for the facility, equipment, staff, and each other. You should all be proud of yourselves.

Thank you for a great day!

Links to online learning websites

Hi everyone, Below is a list of websites families can use at home for extra practice on core subject areas. Please have a look and see which websites work best for you. Until the CBE determines how we will proceed, it is important for students to be reading, writing, and practicing basic math skills. Try to spend some time each day working on each three. Please keep checking the blog and email. As soon as there is more information for families, the CBE and/or Taradale School will let families know. I will follow up with blog posts passing along any pertinent information. Please stay safe, everyone.

Math Games - Roll an Array

Roll An Array: 1. Each person chooses a colour to colour their array. 2. Roll twice dice, for example 3 and 4. 3. Colour in the array for either 3x4 or 4x3, wherever you want to place it. 4. Take turns rolling and colouring your arrays. As space runs out, you will only be able to colour arrays for space that is left. If you roll and array and their is not enough space, pass your turn. 5. You are done when all squares are coloured. Thanks to Sonia and Vamika for their picture! Here is an example of a completed game (thanks for Japneek and Prajna):
