Sunnybrook School

Nature’s confetti- sending us into a long weekend!

INTO THE WOODS opening night was a success! What a show! All the students did a fantastic job! They should be proud. Looking forward to going back “Into The Woods” tonight!

The Grade 5 students making scribble machines in their inquiry unit. They use the design process to create and test their machine.

SKI DAY!!! The weather was perfect and we had such an amazing time. Thank you to all of the volunteers for coming out for this spectacular community event .

Happy Lunar New Year! We learned about the Year of the Snake in assembly yesterday and celebrated today in the classroom. Thank you to Mr Coote for the yummy lunch and to the parent volunteers for the classroom visits.

Five Sense Festival! The JK students led their parents through various stations to demonstrate their learning of the five senses!

Some snapshots from a couple of the clubs this week. Activate club had to dodge the lasers! The cupcake club made wonderful designs and the art club made rock pets and clay tic tac toe games.

French performer, Njacko Backo presented today and it was FABULOUS!! The students (and even the teachers) had a chance to drum with him. The audience sung in French and danced energetically to the songs. Njacko told us a folklore story that his mom used to tell him, teaching us about trust. It was such a wonderful community event!!

What a beautiful winter concert celebrating community and inclusion. The students did a fantastic job preforming, dancing, singing and enjoying every moment. The day after the concert was Care and share where the students made cards for local seniors and donated food to the Thorncliffe food drive. Thank you to the whole community for the generosity.

CTV visited Sunnybrook school to launch the Toy Mountain toy drive. This initiative was started by Nathan and Evan 4 years ago! Many of the students were interviewed about the importance of the campaign. This will be aired on Monday Nov 25 on the CTV 6pm news.

The average Canadian lives off of $75 worth of groceries a week. The grade 5s took on this challenge and headed to Loblaws to see if they could budget food for a week. Many students were over budget and had to either cut items off or justify where the extra money is coming from. Those who were under had to allocate the money to either RRSP, savings etc. A great hands on math activity about financial literacy. At the end of the field trip the students donated $43 to the food bank.

SUNNYBROOK BIRTHDAY BOOK DAY!!!! One of Sunnybrook‘s favourite days has arrived. Students got to pick out a book for the library in lieu of their birthday, complete a literacy activity with their parents and also visit the action Café. Thank you to the community for such a wonderful event.
