Collecting Our Colours!

The Grade 2 & 3s have been learning a lot over the past few months about healthy living. Most recently, about eating healthy fruits and vegetables of all colours of the rainbow! Last week we created a fruit bowl full of collages of our favourite fruits!

He Saw It!

6 MORE WEEKS OF WINTER!!
Wiarton Willie and his American friend Pennsylvania’s Punxsutawney Phil both saw their shadow, meaning more cold and blustery weather. To see what Nova Scotia’s Shubenacadie Sam did after not seeing his shadow click on the video on the right of the screen!

What will Wiarton Willie See?!

Tomorrow is Groundhog Day and our class has overwhelmingly predicted that our groundhog in Ontario, Canada will not see his shadow and it will be an early spring! Ms Shi, myself and Joaron have bravely predicted 6 more weeks of winter after Wiarton sees his shadow. Can’t wait to see! Will the other groundhogs behave the same?
