Proud Students

As I went to the various classes this afternoon students wanted to show me their work.  They are very proud of the work that they have done, as you can see.  I welcome parents to stop by your child's classroom to see the wonderful things that are being done daily.

Enjoy the great day!

Until tomorrow.

Recess Fun

Several students were keeping Ms. Knecht company at recess, while a lot of other students were making use of the SCSA nets that are now on our field.  What a beautiful day!

Hopefully it will be the same for our Terry Fox Run tomorrow at the Elphinstone Secondary Track at 9:20 am.  I look forward to seeing many parents there.  For your information, the K students will be doing their walk/run at GES.

Have a great afternoon and evening.

Soccer & Castles

At lunch today our intermediate students enjoyed playing soccer with the new balls (purchased with money from our recycling program), while our primary students took advantage of the weather to build sand castles along a river. The primary students were back in class by the time I got down to their creation.  Nice job boys and girls!

Juggling

Mrs. Hourigan's class had their first juggling lesson in PE today.  I have included a few pictures of this activity.

Ukes

The Grade four class was having their first ukelele lesson when I stopped by the music room this afternoon.

They were doing a great job!

Have a good evening.
