What a great way to start the week...

Students collaboratively built this amazing structure.

(a school)

Student created graphs of their 'Most favourite' and 'Least favourite' holiday wish list.

These students were not afraid to get messy with shaving cream.  Tomorrow shaving cream will be added to the large textile bin.



Many students were using the large tweezers to sort beads. 

Physical Education is every Monday. 

Please send appropriate shoes with your child. 

Balancing -- Physical Education

A favourite time for our students is Physical Education with Ms. Murray.  Our students receive Physical Education twice a week, once with all 90 students participating in a variety of free choice centres, and on the other occasion each class will have a skill learning period using different centres with only their homeroom peers.


Some of the students favourite activities are:

• broom ball with nets

• ball area (contains a variety of basketballs, scoops, rackets, chickens, beanbags, nets and containers) 

• noodles (building, spaghetti and meatball game)

• tricycles, wagons
• hurdles and an agility ladder to jump over
• a mini slide with tumble mats for rolling and somersaults
• hoola hoops
• dancing with music
• plus many more physical opportunities using the manipulatives in a variety of ways

This week Ms. Murray introduced three new activities -- to practice BALANCING
