Dear Midnapore Families,
National Indigenous People’s Day
I am very excited to share that our Midnapore School Land based learning activity was a huge success. Our Grade 5’s demonstrated incredible leadership today by facilitating all our groups where they supported students around our medicine wheel conversations with transitions. All students in our school took part in this land-based learning activity and personalized their responses to allow for thoughtful reflections for their next transition. Great job Midnapore school and thank you to our Grade 5’s.
Staffing changes
As the school year ends, it is a time for reflection, gratitude and the next chapter. Although we are very excited for them, we are going to be sad to say farewell to Jen Reyes, Rhea Qi, Christine Petersen, Brittany Plunz, Maya Ikuta, Amanda Evans, Ms. Somi and Ms. Stewart. We are grateful for working with each of these incredible educators. We will follow up next week with an introduction to our new staff members who are joining our learning community.

Mandarin Program Update
The Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in Ms. Gallant and Ms. Qi's classes have been having lots of outdoor gym when the weather is beautiful! We are learning how to work as a team and focusing on kicking and running skills through kickball games. This week, students also learned different Indigenous games. One was called "Animal Muk" and the other was "Shoe Shoe". Both games invited students to sit in a circle and used common items like a shoe or only their body to play. Students are looking forward to the last week of school, which will be filled with tons of excitement and fun!
入春以来，风和日丽时，齐老师和格兰老师的一、二年级的同学们常在室外上体育课。他们在学习怎样玩踢球游戏。这是一个类似于棒球的体育运动项目。学生们通过这类游戏学习了团队精神，也练习了许多技能，包括踢球，接球，奔跑等。本周，这两个班的同学们还有机会尝试了两个原住民的游戏：一个叫“Animal Muk”，另一个叫"Shoe Shoe"。同学们坐成一个圆圈，用鞋子或自己的身体来玩这些游戏。下周是暑假前的最后一周，学生们都热切的期盼着下周丰富好玩的假前活动
