Today was a very exciting day for the students!  They observed immediately upon looking at the agenda that it was a fun day with plenty to look forward to, most notably our visit from Richard Wong, a physicist at the University of the Fraser Valley.

We started the day with Bible, looking up multiple verses in the Bible related to our topic of how God created everything and that he speaks truth to us.  The children are getting much quicker at looking up verses in the Bible now that they know where almost half of the books are!

Then we had Handwriting, and the Grade 4's worked on cursive H and I while the 3's finally got to try their hands at cursive!  They started with the easiest ones - e, i, l, and t (all lower case).

Then on to grammar where we discussed sentences with the Grade 3 students, and specifically the difference between interrogative and declarative sentences with the Grade 4 students.

The students had an early recess and then we had our visitor arrive!

Dr. Wong (a.k.a. Richard) focused on the spectrum of light, and how different types of light affect how we see colours.  Ask your children about the spectrometer that we used, and the different colours they saw depending on which light they were looking at.

After lunch we had the October B.U.G. draw (pizza B.U.G. lunch will be NEXT Friday, November 8th - students who won this will have emails sent to their parents), and then Art, where we finished our Spider Spirographs and Name Art.

The day ended with chapel and we sang 'Trading My Sorrows', 'Jesus Loves Me' and "Hey, Jesus Loves Me!"

Have a wonderful evening everyone, and whatever your family does tonight, I pray it will be enjoyable and safe.  :)
