It was great to see so many of the students – present and former – along with their families at our celebration last Friday afternoon / evening! The children seemed to really enjoy the wide variety of games, the food (popcorn, cotton candy, cake, and hot dogs), the face painting, and the prizes. We were very lucky that the weather held off for us. I hope you all had a chance to check out the displays of the decades (in the gym) that classes had made.
Our class made the posters for the 1960’s and the 1970’s. In the two weeks before the carnival we discussed important events from these two decades. Students made Canadian flag-socks as they learned that our current flag became official on February 15, 1965. We also enjoyed music from these decades during our activities those first two weeks. Many of these songs the students actually knew as they have been re-used in more current movies.
A huge thank you to all those who helped us out by volunteering at a station for the carnival! I think it was a great success and will be a great memory for the students as they progress through their school years.
