We Can Measure

We have been learning how to measure linear objects. After measuring books, toys and other objects around the classroom, the students decided that they wanted to measure a student. They chose one larger unit and one smaller unit. Soon, they discovered that it took a lot longer to measure him using the smaller unit (e.g. the snappy cubes). Reflecting on the problem, many students decided it was best to use larger units to measure larger items. The student we measured is 61 snappy cubes long, or 8 markers long.

Valentine’s Day

This week, we celebrated Valentine’s Day! It was a wonderful opportunity to talk about kindness and generosity. Many students brought treats and cards to share.

Many students dressed up for Formal Day and got their photos taken. At lunch, there was a school-wide dance party!

The day before, we baked cookies! We rolled out the cookie dough and cut out shapes using cookie cutters – hearts, circles, ovals, and lips! And baked them in the oven.

We baked over 50 cookies and shared them with the staff.

On Valentine’s Day, we decorated our cookies with icing and different coloured sprinkles.

In the afternoon, we had a hoot creating our owl treat bags!

These bags were full of treats by the end of the day.

Torch Relay Run

Last week, our school had a torch relay run to celebrate the opening of the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Each class chose a torch bearer who led us on a run around the field. Thanks to the leadership students for organizing the event.
