Students enjoy creating their own unique designs from the pattern blocks! These usually happen with small groups working together.

Lunar New Year
We have been preparing for our school’s celebration on this upcoming Friday. Students have been practising a poem that they will perform (What Colour Were the Dragons?) and they have been writing their own poems about dragons. They have made their own dragons (to be used as props for the Assembly) and made scales to add to the school dragon which will be encircling the corner of the Office in the hallway. They created beautiful water-coloured lanterns which will be strung up in the gym for the Assembly. Right now they are hanging in our classroom.
Please ensure that your child brings a bowl and spoon to school on Friday in order to partake in the potluck luncheon which has been become one of our yearly, and most yummy, traditions.
Gymnastics!!!
Students have been really enjoying our time with Coach Rachel, our gymnastic instructor, who has been with us for seven school days. It was such a treat to watch the students overcome some fears and nervousness and to develop a good basic introduction to the gymnastic equipment.
Students were placed into teams and they then rotated through the four stations of equipment. Our grade twos had another opportunity to show their developing leadership skills by leading their groups.
Here are some photos showing the equipment:
