Cherry Blossoms

As cherry trees are bursting with pink and white blooms all over the city, the kindergarten students created their own cherry blossom paintings.  To add a fluffy texture to our paintings, we used cotton balls, held by clothespins, to paint the cherry blossoms.

First, we painted our backgrounds and trees.

Then, we used cotton balls to add the cherry blossoms.  We used darker pink colors first, and then used the lighter pinks on top. Some students chose to add white cherry blossoms as well.

Come see our hallway bulletin board!

Feb 28th Pink Shirt Day

On February 28th, we encourage everyone to wear pink.  By wearing pink, we are promoting kindness and friendship, and standing up to bullying.  The original story behind Pink Shirt Day can be found here:  The Pink Shirt Day story

The kindergarten students created their own pink shirts!

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.
