Primary Christmas Concert a Big Success

Our Primary Christmas Concert last night went really well and all of our students did an awesome job.  I have included a few pictures here, but more can be viewed on the Flickr Photostream to the right. A video of the Primary Choir's song, Christmas in Colour, will be included at a later date.

I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Getting Ready for Christmas Concerts

Mrs. Hourigan's Class practicing today.

Mr. Sullivan's class practicing.

With only two weeks before our Christmas Break there are lot of festive things happening around the school.  The gym is closed except for practices for the Primary and Intermediate Christmas Concerts and the classroom doors are decorated for the season.

Mrs. Duncan's class is on a field trip to the Gibson's Curling Club today.  It should be good fun.

The Primary Christmas Concert Dress Rehearsal is tomorrow at 10:45  am.  If there are parents/grandparents that are unable to attend on Wednesday evening we welcome you to attend tomorrow's dress rehearsal.

Until later.

Teaching in Mrs. Hourigan's Class

Sideline European Handball.

Tangrams-- the students really enjoyed this activity.

Most of the students working away.

Hi level of activity in ther gym.

I taught in Mrs. Hourigan's class today so she could coach the GES Girls' Volleyball Team.  For PE we included Mrs. Fitchell's Grade 6 students-- we had an excellent game of sideline European Handball.

It has been a busy day, as when I am not in class teaching I am supervising. 

Today is the last day of the Receipt Race.....I wonder if Mr. Sullivan's class will make a comeback?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Until next week.

It has been a busy day with a morning meeting, teaching Mrs. Murray's Math group, as well as supervising at recess and lunch.  I really enjoyed getting into the classrooms to see what was happening.  If you check the other staff blogs there will be other examples of some of things that go on at GES.
