Late Blog

Hello Everyone. Sorry about the late posting. My father's in town, and my boys are home from their university terms, so I was very busy serving "goodies", chit-chatting in front of the fire, and making up beds.

We're looking forward to some special activities with the Grade 4's in the next couple of days. A "thank-you breakfast" for the BI Staff happens tomorrow. The last of the Science mini-plays are being held in the library.

The visit to Louis Brier was successful and heartfelt. Thanks to Morah Ellen for heading up the Israeli dancing presentation.

Hope you're enjoying the snow. Drive safely.

Castle Day

We have budding engineers at work building medieval castles.
This is a creative conclusion to our novel study, Castle in the Attic.
Watch for these 3D creations - including towers, crenelations, loopholes, drawbridges, and even secret chambers!
