June18th Triathlon Practice
Triathlon: We will be having a practice round next Wednesday. The swimmers will be meeting at the pool at 2:45 and swim until 3:30. The Bikers will meet at the parking lot at 6;30 and they will do the route ending around 7:00 and the runners will meet then and run the route. Parents will find out where and when to meet on the 22nd. We are in need of a bike for Keira to ride and practice with this week and next. If you can help please let me know. I am also looking for a small shorty wet suit for Beau for swimming. If anyone can help out with this please let me know.

Wednesday we have a practice:
Swimmers: please meet at the pool at 2:45. Don’t enter the pool until everyone is there. It will cost a toonie. If parents could meet to pick them up at 3:30 we will be able to demonstrate what is to happen on the day and where to meet.
Bikers: Please meet in the pool parking lot at 6:30 with your bike and helmet. I am hoping that several parents will be able to join us. We have someone volunteering to drive a lead car to keep us safe and we also need someone to drive a car behind us as well. Keira is needing a bicycle to ride for the next week so that she can practice before our big event. If you have one please contact Jalyn Sorg and she will make the arrangements.
Runners: if you could meet in the pool parking lot at 7:00 we will explain how it works and we will run the route. We will be finished before 7:30 if everyone arrives on time.
Thank you once again for all your support!

Last week we had a very exciting end by blasting off our rockets before lunch on Friday and then let one more off before the end of the day. We had a lot of excellent astronauts at the launch site!!!!!
Library Books: The library is wanting all of their books back so please look through the house and make sure they are all returned as soon as possible as they are trying to pack the library up so that they can get the library at the middle school ready for us. If you have books that you have had out and not been able to find please visit the library and settle up the amounts owing so that the books can be replaced over the summer. They are welcome to take any books from my bins to read over the summer and for right now so there will be no shortage of material to read!
Flat Stanley:
We have had 7 Flat Stanley's returned and they have been on quite the work experiences. One had the chance to work with delivering babies, another worked at a mill, the fire station, ICBC office and the bank. We are looking forward to having other Flat Stanley's return. It has been interesting so far!
Space Seeds: This week we will be checking our space seeds closely. Several of the seeds have sprouted. They were in the space station for 22 months and we have the opportunity to help with a NASA space station experiment. We have planted tomato seeds and will report back how many germinate. They gave us two sets of seeds. One that was in space and one that wasn't . We won't be told which ones are which until we hand in our results. Pretty exciting stuff.
Qualicum Beach Triathlon: All the children that wanted to go into the Triathlon are now registered. We have some very unusual names this year. If you were not able to send in your money for the triathlon earlier, please send it in when you can. Thank you.
