Dear families,
It was an action-packed week with our trip to Queen's Park, the concert last night and OPAL Play Day today. I hope you had a chance to discuss with our trip to Queens Park with your child. It was quite something to stand in the legislature and look at the empty seats where so many important decisions have taken place and will take place. Students also participated in a mock debate where they addressed the speaker as they made points for or against homework. For those who participated in strings, band or the small ensembles at last night's concert, it was truly wonderful to see the focus and talent of each student shine (even in the melting heat!). Today was OPAL Play Day. Students had much of the afternoon to be creative with ropes, tires, cylinders and other loose part. they instinctively made meat pulley systems, obstacle courses and forts with lots of learning and problem solving. I'm sure they would be happy to tell you more about it. Homework The PSA video project is due next week. I told students to make plans with their group partners either in person or using technology to work on the project. I'll repost the link to the project details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HMDiocxf3k7b-_YZtc8EvSGbHqy7y9YShdMog5L35jk/edit?usp=sharing Next week will be completing our STEM project challenge “Can you cook a pizza in its own box?” Today students went in the sun with their solar oven prototypes and we measured the voltage generated by a solar panel placed by their oven. The day for cooking pizza and s'mores is to be determined by the weather but it will likely be at the end of next week or early in the final week of school. I’ll let them know early in the week so they can plan their pizza ingredients. Ultimate Frisbee on Monday: Students on the team please bring a hat, sunscreen, water and lunch. It will be a fun day at the Trinity Bellwoods field. We'll be sure to remind students to apply and reapply lots of sunscreen. On a another food-based project note, Mme Gooden has a neat plan (below) for Monday for students not in the ultimate Frisbee tournament. Bon weekend! M. Quigg Good day Parents and Guardians: We will be having one of our Kindergarten parents, a chef named Ms Shayma Saadat, come in to help us make Bread Pudding on Monday, June 18 from 9 am to 11 am. This is will be a little hands on but in large part a demonstration and tasting. Ms Saadat has generously offered to donate all the ingredients and the recipe will be nut free. We will be celebrating Eid, the end of Ramadan and introducing students to other cultures. Please let me know if your child should not partake of the breadpudding. Please be sure to check out The recipe is enclosed. Please find below a message from Ms Saadat. Here is the recipe for the pudding. We need 2 full hours to make, bake and eat the pudding. I will donate the ingredients and my time to your class, with pleasure. By the way, this is my article which was published for CBC today - http://www.cbc.ca/life/culture/sharing-cultural-heritage-on-eid-ul-fitr-through-food-1.4703113 Shayma is a Food Writer and Chef (www.ShaymaSaadat.com). SHAYMA SAADAT - SPICE SPOON - FOOD WRITER | Website | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | CBC Interview | PERSIAN SAFFRON BREAD AND BUTTER PUDDING By Shayma Saadat WWW.SHAYMASAADAT.COM Invariably, anyone who has gone to university in the UK will have some sort of Proustian memory associated with bread and butter pudding. This recipe reminds me of my days as a student at Cambridge, and with the addition of heady cardamom and vermillion Persian saffron, I feel it is an homage to my culture and heritage. This is a festive dish, fit for Eid – the celebration which marks the end of Ramadan for Muslims. Enjoy this dish, and I hope you make it your own. Sincerely, Mme Gooden, Dawn 4/5e et Maternelle École Lord Lansdowne
