The Prince and the Pauper: Lights, Camera, Action!

Nurturing Healthy Friendships
One of the most crucial lessons we’ve been learning recently is all about healthy friendships. It’s essential to surround ourselves with positive influences and be there for our friends in good times and bad. Remember, being a good friend means being kind, empathetic, and supportive. Let’s keep practicing these valuable life skills.

We’ve also been exploring what the Bible has to say about thinking positively and having empathy for others. The Bible offers timeless wisdom that can guide us in our journey to become better people and better friends. Keep an open heart and mind as we delve into these valuable teachings.
Building a Strong Community
A strong community is built on the foundation of strong friendships and a sense of togetherness. We’ve been discovering various strategies to strengthen our school community and make it a warm and welcoming place for everyone. Stay tuned as we put these strategies into action!

Post-Mission Congratulatory Note:
Agents, you’ve done splendidly cracking the cryptic conundrums within the literary enigma that is ‘The King’s Equal’. Your nimble minds also navigated through the numerical mazes of place value and remembered the ancient art of long division. Each day, you prove your detective mettle, and for that, you deserve a firm pat on the back.
On the Horizon, Upcoming Assignments:
Prepare for a riveting week ahead, detectives. We’ll be delving into the art of crafting personal narratives, painting with words the tales of our unique adventures.

October 31 Fall Colour Dress Up
In the back alleys of Highroad Academy, a light emanating from room 6 beckons—a year draped in the enigmas of learning, where we dare to stretch our boundaries, diving deep into the perplexities of the unknown. My name’s Mr. Wolfsen, and I’m your guide in this tangled web of mysteries. I’ve got your back as you venture forth, trying to piece together the puzzles of self and seeking your role in this vast, sprawling city we call Chilliwack.
As the first pages of our tale unfold, we’ll lay out our gear, our instruments of investigation. Every item in its rightful place, every tool ready at our fingertips. After all, detectives are only as good as their toolkit, and knowledge, dear students, is our sharpest weapon. Welcome to The Case Files of Mr. Wolfsen’s Grade 6 Sleuths. Dive in, the mystery’s just getting started.
School supplies:
In the world of young detectives, every item tells a story. So, ensure each piece of gear—those student supplies—bears your prodigy’s name. The streets of Grade 6 can be treacherous, and it’s easy to misplace a vital clue. Before they step foot on the scene on that first day, help your young sleuth unpack and set their tools of the trade in order. The thrill of the initial days can be dizzying. Being prepared with their gear in check aids them as they navigate the maze of new lockers and desks, cutting through the thick fog of the first-day frenzy.
Need a blueprint? Check the blog—it’s got the lowdown on how our young agents will be arranging their kits this year.
Setting Up Your Detective Toolkit: School Supplies 101.
Classroom Location:
Your junior detective’s base of operations? The elusive Portable 6, nestled right next to the grand archives known as the library. It’s where they’ll be piecing together the puzzles, one clue at a time. Keep it under your hat.
Access Points to Portable 6: Navigating the Detective’s Lair
Your young sleuth will make their grand entrance through the door facing East. It’s more than just an entrance—it’s the first step into the world of mysteries. Once inside, they’ll scrub away the traces of the outside world at the handwashing station, ready to dive deep into their day. Next stop, the locker area, where every detective keeps their personal stash of secrets. While they generally make their exit through the same East door, there’s a twist.
If you, the detective-in-chief, drop by to see how your junior agent is doing, give a knock on the door that faces the setting sun—that’d be the WEST. We value our privacy in this line of work, but we always welcome a familiar knock.
Come Tuesday morning, the EAST door is where the action is. If you’re feeling lost in this world of mystery, look for a sign—it’ll guide you right.
