with Ms. Lai & Ms. Loungsay
We painted the backgrounds and experimented with changing paint colours. We added white or black to make a colour lighter or darker, and mixed some colours together to make new colours. Then we made flowers and added them to our paintings.
Let’s hope these flowers bring on some warmer weather ahead! These are now on our bulletin board in the hallway.
For those who celebrate this festival, I wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous lunar new year! Gung xi fa cai! The kids enjoyed a variety of activities, including making lanterns and writing the Chinese numeral characters.
Our Christmas event was a hit! There was singing in the gym, hot chocolate and apple cider, and gingerbread men decorating contests in our classrooms. Families got to take photos with two elves. Many of my students brought their younger siblings, so there were quite a few toddlers joining in the fun too.
A big thanks to our music teacher, Ms. V. for doing so much organizing, and to our wonderful parent volunteers! Volunteers baked over 250 gingerbread men! What a fun night!
