Happy Birthday, Roald Dahl!

On Tuesday, September 13th, people all over the world are celebrating 100 years of Roald Dahl.

To help celebrate, we are having a yellow colour day.  All students and teachers are invited to come to school wearing Roald Dahl's favourite colour... yellow.

As well, we encourage everyone to have fun exploring The Official Roald Dahl Website.  There you will find photos, book descriptions, and character sketches as well as video and sound clips and a virtual tour of the Roald Dahl Museum and Story Centre. 

You can learn from the master storyteller himself about the craft of writing at

You can try your hand at making some revolting recipes at http://roalddahl.com/create-and-learn/make/revolting-recipes

Most importantly, take time to enjoy one or more of his fantastic stories today!

to wash around you like music..."

Congratulations on being the first class where everybody remembered to bring their library bag!  Now that is showing respect and responsibility.

Design a Bookmark for the Library Contest

Calling all artists!  

You are invited to submit a design for a library bookmark. We use a bookmark to hold our spot when we are reading.  This is a super way to care for our books.  

You can pick up the blank paper at the library.  The contest ends Friday, September 2.  Please write your name and class on the back of your bookmark before handing it into the library.

The winning designs will be printed for use in the library.  

Have fun being creative!

Here are some of the winning designs from last year...

New library bags for PK and K

“The more that you read,

the more things you will know.

The more that you learn,

the more places you'll go.”

-Dr. Seuss, I Can Read With My Eyes Shut   

The Start of a New School Year

Open a book

And you will find

People and places of every kind;

Open a book

And you can be

Anything you want to be;

Open a book

And you can share

Wondrous words you find in there;

Open a book

And I will too

You read to me

And I'll read to you!
