Summer Break Wishes From Mrs. Herbert

   

Wishing all the Grade 1/2 Busy Bee families a wonderful, safe, healthy, and rejuvenating summer break!! 

Thank you for all the wonderful work and support from home to build these little learners! It takes a village to raise such amazing little people! They have grown so much and in so many ways! You should be proud of your little one! 

To our 2025-2026 Busy Bees...Congratulations! You did it! I wish each and every one of you the very best and continued success next year!! Thank you for letting me be your teacher and learning with me. I am proud of you for all you have learned to do this school year and the wonderful character traits you are instilling in yourselves. I just know you will go on to do great things, when you put your mind to it! Have a great summer!! 

We welcome all our little learners back to school on Tuesday, September 8, 2026 for a fresh start to a new year!!

SPCS Play Day!

The weather cooperated so perfectly so we could participate in our school wide Play Day!! It was warm but we got to cool down with some great games organized by Mrs. Hobson and Mrs. Boyd with our 7/8 class to run stations and our 6/7 class as the team leaders. 

Also, we enjoyed a school wide picnic with a hot dog and cake lunch organized by School Council! Thank you to those wonderful parents that helped make that happen! 

We had a blast and finished up with some freezies as a treat! What a great way to end the day and prepare us for our last day of school tomorrow!

Learning Buddies Year End Celebration!

Today, we celebrated the end of the school year with our learning buddies! We wanted to say thank you to them with a special card we made and indulged in a little 'make your own' ice cream sundae party. 

We so greatly appreciate all the learning buddies have helped us do this year! We are a bunch of smarties thanks to them! 

Have a great summer to Mr. Glover & Mr. Steinmann's Grade 5/6 class!  

Penpal Video Conference Meet & Greet

Today, we had the pleasure of meeting our penpals from Little Falls Public School. We have been writing back and forth since Christmas time and having a blast getting mail from our new friends. We invited them to a video conference so we could see them in real life! We sent them a care package to open today with a treat for each of them! And we got a special delivery to have to open as well from them! It was fun to see our penpals and maybe one day we will get to meet in person! Thank you to Mrs. Brodhagen's 1B class for working with us to be better writers and make a friend along the way. 

South Perth's Steps for Seniors

We braved the wet weather to put some Steps in for Seniors!

ONE CARE provides a range of supportive care services that enable seniors and people with disabilities to enjoy better quality of life as they age at home. ONE CARE Home & Community Support Services is a community based, charitable, not-for-profit health organization providing supportive care to families in Huron and Perth Counties and surrounding area. All of the money you raise as part of Steps for Seniors 2026 will help raise funds to support the purchase of new vehicles for our transportation program in Huron and Perth Counties.

There is still time to donate to this link to contribute to a great cause! Thanks for all your support!

A little wind and rain didn't get our spirits down knowing we are helping those in our community!

As Good As Gold - Learning About Integrity

Throughout the year, we have been learning about many different character traits. This month, we have been focusing on a biggie! We have been learning about integrity as we feel it encompasses many of the other character traits into one. We have read books, listened to some songs and watched videos all about this concept to help us understand what this big idea means. We caught on pretty quick but certainly expanded our thinking too! We brainstormed all the ideas we have been learning about and have posted in our classroom:

We read these books:

And some great songs and videos we watched about integrity are:

  

We are working hard on focusing on making good choices and going to try our best to demonstrate integrity as our goal over the summer to start off next year to a great start!

Camp Bimini Year End Class Field Trip!

We had so much fun on our adventure to Camp Bimini! So much to see, do and explore! This really was a great trip for Busy Bees that like to see, touch and do! 

Thank you to the parent volunteers for coming along! We really appreciate having that support to makes these trips possible. And we also want to thank School Council funds to make this a much more cost effective trip for each of little Busy Bees! 

Here are a few pictures from our trip...
