Terry Fox Run


We are so excited to be doing our Terry Fox Run tomorrow! Please remind students to wear good running shoes and clothes! Below is more information regarding the event. 

Tuscany School will be participating in the Terry Fox Run this year on the afternoon of Wednesday, September 22nd. Students will be taking part in a virtual warm-up video in their classrooms to kick off this event followed by the run around the school and community field during staggered times throughout the afternoon. 

Terry’s goal when he started his Marathon of Hope was for every Canadian to donate $1 for cancer research. Inspired by Terry’s goal, Tuscany School has set a goal for our Terry Fox Run this year to raise “A Toonie for Terry” for every staff and student to donate to The Terry Fox Foundation for cancer research. Please consider sending your child with a Toonie on the day of the run to donate to this important cause. If families would like to donate online to The Terry Fox Foundation, donations may be made on our school’s fundraising page.

 On Friday we went to the coulee! We had so much fun on our colour hunt, practicing counting through collecting objects in nature, finding signs of fall in our journals and reflecting on senses of seeing, hearing, touching, and smelling.  In math, we practiced collecting and counting objects in french.  In science, we have been looking at insects and labeling them.  In FLA, we have been working on Daily 5, where students cycle through reading to self, reading to others, word work, working on writing, and listening to reading.  In PE,  we have been working on locomotor skills with skipping and ball handling. They are practicing communicating well together and taking turns.  In art, we explored print making by using fall leaves to create prints!

 In FLA, students have been doing a wonderful job wrapping up their caterpillar stories! They have created some beautiful art to go with their story!  In math, students have been getting lots of practice with subtraction and conducting a survey!  In science, we introduced concepts of 'sink and float'! Students made predictions on what objects would sink or float and had a discussion about why they did or didn't.  In social studies, we talked about Acadien history in Canada. Students acted out acadien settlement, ways of life, and conflict.  In P.E students enjoyed playing lots of field games and jump roping.

Highlights of this week! Nov. 8-12

This week we shared in remembering our indigenous and non-indigenous veterans who served for our country. Here is a video we created as a school to honour them.  For this video, we practiced the poem 'Brave Soldat' as a class and prepared poppy art to show alongside the verses. We then recorded ourselves reciting the poem alongside Mme. Pelletier's class. See our video here.  To honour our indigenous veteran's day, we talked about indigenous people's role in serving our country, with specific attention to the cree code talkers.  In math this week, we continued to practice counting to 100, and started working on counting by 2s, 5s, and 10s!  We also looked at sorting objects based on their attributes, and practiced counting groups of numbers.  In social studies, we are talking about belonging with a focus on logos and symbols.  For example, what does a poppy symbolize? What do logo's tell us? What is the purpose of a logo? Students then worked on creating th...
