Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory Play at Bastion Elementary / École Élémentaire Bastion

1971

Greetings all and especially Bastion dramatists!

Mme. Reid and myself suggest that the best way to get to know this classic story is to read the book - you will love Roald Dahl's writing.  We have many of his other excellent titles in the library too - F DHA.

If you are wanting a visual as well, Mme Reid suggests the YouTube clip below and asks you to avoid the newer, Jonny Depp film - it bares very little resemblance to the original story.

Note, re the version below dear parents and students that some viewers may find the scene when they are travelling on the chocolate river disturbing. 

This film is not available on iTunes nor Netflix, but there are also clips of the songs from the movie below on YouTube. Email Mme. Murrells-Allaway (smurrell@sd83.bc.ca) good links you find or respond in the area below this post.  Enjoy!

Meet the Teacher Night, Tue., Sept. 20th, 2016

Come join us back at school for the Meet the Teacher barbecue (5-6:30pm). 


Myself and all of the staff are looking forward to meeting your families. 


We also need to celebrate Bastion Elementary's 50th birthday!  That's right.  Mr. Jakobsen tells us the doors to this amazing school opened in 1966.


Drop by the library to enter draws for five $10 gift certificates at Bookingham Palace, Piccadilly Mall.  The draws will be at 6:15pm.


Students enter by writing down their favourite topics they like to learn and read about - in turn, you help me buy high interest books!


Parents if you would like to enter, you must find out the web address for the Bastion library database and the address of this Ardent Librarian library blog .  In turn, you know of two great web resources for learning and reading - book mark them as favourites; write them in agendas; post them by the computer; & share with friends.


See y'all tonight!  Ms. Murrells-Allaway.
