Chinese New Year By: Ada and Emily
Have you ever heard of Chinese New Year? If you’ve heard of Chinese
New Year, this is the year of the DRAGON. Chinese people celebrate Chi-
nese New Year. During this wonderful celebration, families dress in red
and the children send blessings to their parents and elderly. When they do,
the parents and elderly will give them a red pocket filled with money. Be-
fore Chinese New Year, families gather around for a big feast. Some fami-
lies will eat dumplings. In China, the children will stay up all night. During
Chinese New Year, the most common foods are chinese turnip cake, taro
cake and nii gao.
Happy Chinese New Year!
INCLUSIVENESS AND CARING
Hey Fairview! Remember last month's theme????????
Well, you guessed it: Inclusiveness!!!!!! At the assembly, lots of people received awards; maybe you did too. This
month's theme is CARING. We hope you guys know how to care for others.
Here are some examples :
-Helping others when they need it most -Share with students
-Help others when they are hurt in any way -Don't make fun of people
-Don't bring any nuts to school
-Tell your friends to wear all their warm clothing given to them
So, if you want to be caring, you can follow these examples. If you are caring,
you can get an award and a BEE ticket. Most importantly, you make someone
happy!

. New Years- Goals and Resolutions By: Aaisha A. . 'n Xenab R. . (Madrigal Agents – shhh!)
Woah! The year’s over already??? It was just yesterday when we walked into 2011- now it’s already 2012??? *Gasp! *, I'm so sad!!!--wait, no, I'm not!!!
It's a New Year---YEAH!!!!
A new year, a new time, new chances, new opportunities! And most importantly, new
goals and resolutions! What??-- You don't what a resolution is?? No worries-- a resolu-
tion is a synonym for the word goal! Wow! So, what are your goals and resolutions? Are
you asking me? Well, I personally don't and can't keep resolutions, so I never make one!
Need some ideas? Sorry, but we can't help you. Here's a tip though: try to make a goal or
resolution on something you need to improve on. For instance, if your not handing in your
homework, maybe that would be something you should work on. Another example is one
for home: being more responsible by helping your parents or taking care of your younger
siblings. There's a lot of things you could work on— things everybody could work on.
Don't forget-- nobody's perfect-- but if we all set more goals, we can make the world
a better place.
Report cards by: Aliyah
The report cards are coming so do your best. Work hard to try and get an A+ or A-. I think that
Fairview P.S. is doing great, so keep it up!
The report cards are coming on Friday, February 10, 2011.
Remember to complete your goal-setting on the bottom of page 3 and have your parents fill in their part
too!
Mr. Webb shows he cares by
cleaning up to keep us safe.

PAJAMA DAY By:Christine and Hania
Pajama day was the first time you could wear pajamas to Fairview. It was the last day of school before winter break. Lots of people were wearing their paja-
mas. It was for the Buzz Bowl, too. They could earn points for their team. The
winning team was the Stingers. They got to watch a movie with popcorn!!!
People enjoyed wearing pajamas. It was a lot of fun!!
GRADE 5 field trip To Jack Smythe
On Friday December 16th 2011 the grade 5's had an awesome field trip
to Jack Smythe Field Centre. The field trip was about cooperation with others and playing games
about how to cooperate with others.
First, we had to go on a long and tiring hike. Then when we got close to
the end of our hike, our teacher gave everyone a seed and we had to keep our hands still so that a chickadee would take the seed from our hand. Then, when we got on the top, we played other
cooperative games.

Different books in your interest
So come down to the library to have some reading fun!

The Dogfield Comic Strip
Sounds familiar, right? Yes, this does sound
like Garfield doesn't it, now?
Well, this comic strip cartooned by Moazzam
and The Dogfield Team
was inspired by Garfield. This comic is just like
Garfield,
just with a fat dog instead of a fat feline.
Of course,
we can't forget Jon and Odie's twins:
Rob and Codie. Codie is a cat.
Rob is the same as Jon.
We hope you like
the comic!

Fairview Buzz Bowl This year Fairview Public School had a Buzz Bowl, classes were divided into 5 teams. The Stingers,
the Yellow Jackets, the Worker Bees, the Bumble Bees, and the Hornets. The Stingers came in first
place for the first Buzz Bowl. They got to watch a movie (A Bug's Life) and eat popcorn.To kick off
the second Buzz Bowl, the P.A.L.s (Playground Activity Leaders) were checking if you brought a fruit
or/and vegetable in your lunch. There is also Twin Day coming up, where you wear the same clothes
as your friends. A special thanks to Ms. Graham and Ms. Turtle for hosting the Buzz Bowl. Fairview

WHAT’S THE BUZZ? Have you ever wondered what all the students here at Fairview Public School talk about? Well then, this is the place to know. At this time of year, all the students just love beating the cold in ways like playing basketball, soccer, pump, and some can even do mind-blowing yoyo tricks. As you all know, we all really enjoy showing off all our dodg-ing skills at dodgeball once every week. Fairview has many different ideas, whether its dodgeball or yoyo's. Fairview is a great place for fun! Written by: Mohammed A.

ZIPLINE!!!!

COOL SCIENTIST AT FAIRVIEW FOR GRADE 1 STUDENTS
If you remember her name was Chris.
She had set up centres where students explored various energy sources:
One of them included solar power where solar panels made electricity to spin a
wheel. Paint was squirted on the spinner and made a design. (This was a stu-
dent favourite.) We explored light bulbs that conserve energy and do not pro-
duce heat vs. the old kind that can burn your hand. At another centre, stu-
dents explored how to conserve energy. It was a great learning experience.
