As you may know, in Grade 5 we study Canadian Government. It works out nicely that we have a Federal Election happening right now and so, get to see the election process in action! Ms. Gretzinger recently approached several politicians in West and North Vancouver and we are very fortunate that one is able to fit us into his busy schedule! Liberal MP Don Bell speaking with to all of the grade fives on Friday from 11:30-12:30. We ask that on Friday, you arrive in your P.E. kit, but bring #1 dress to change into before Mr. Bell's presentation. Please take a look at his website and try to think of some questions to ask Mr. Bell on Friday.

Girl's first soccer game.

We were outside waiting for the bus in the cold. And "The bus ditched us." Ms. Hawes called the bus company and they arrived at Morven. We were waiting and waiting and then it started raining! Within ten minutes the bus arrived! We sang our cheer. Heres how it goes. "Brrr, it's cold in here , there must be some Cavs in the atmosphere!" When we arrived at Southridge we missed our first soccer game. And then we won our first game!!! HOORAY! The next game was tough and we won 1 to 0!!! Our last game was the toughest. We scored one then they got it back. And they shot one then we shot one! So it ended out in a tie. We had a great time! GO CAVS!
