Operation Christmas Child

We donated 39 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes!! Woohoo!! Many thanks to all at Olivet, teachers and families, for their generous support of Operation Christmas Child!

 

Each classroom collected donations for their students’ age group and organized the donations into individual shoeboxes.

 

 

 

The older students helped load up the van with shoe boxes and unload at St. Andrews.  The students enjoyed their time there and got a little better idea of the scope of this project.

 

Open House

 

You can drop in to visit the Grade 1-6 classes from 9am to 12pm this week.  Please make an appointment with Sandy if you would like to visit the Kindergarten Class. You can take this opportunity to visit the classroom your child will enter next year.

 

We're promoting Wednesday, November 21^st to the public as an open house day when people can come by during the morning or evening to get to know Olivet. Please invite your friends and neighbours; we have plenty of open house invite cards and brochures. Inviting them to our Facebook page is another great way to get the word out.

Terry Fox Run

Last Friday the students participated in the Terry Fox Run. Our run took us from the school to the creek. They ran 1.5km. The students thought about how difficult it would have been for Terry Fox to run 40km a day! The students had a great time.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back to school!

We hope you had a great vacation and are looking forward to the start of the new school year with us.

Mississauga Marafun Marathon

 

This is the first year that Olivet participated in the Mississauga Marafun Marathon.  Olivet is proud to announce that fifteen of our students ran the 2 km Mississauga Marathon along with some parents and teachers! Everyone was in fine form and we gathered (all 34 if us!) for a celebratory lunch! The sun smiled on us and the temperature was perfect. Many thanks to the parents for their support of this our first Olivet Marafun Marathon!!! See you next year!

Measurement

 

The students are learning about measuring distance and objects in meters.

Their measuring took them to out to the field and down the hall so that they could measure larger areas.

What is your favourite part of school?

The Kindergarteners often take polls with the staff and other students to determine the answers to such questions as “What is your favourite part of school?” 

As you can see, recess won by a landslide!

The students look very official as they question us and mark our answers down on their clipboards.  They tally up their results and make a bar graph.

Flying Planes

The Grade 5 and 6 class learned about flight and built their own cardboard airplanes.

The younger students helped measure the planes’ flying distances.

"Uu" Week

Mosaics

Summer Vacation

Have a safe and fun summer vacation! Congratulations to our graduates.

"Be strong and of good courage."

Symmetry

 To help the Primary Class understand the concept of symmetry the class did an experiment using paint and paper.

The paint was poured onto one side of the paper, then the student would fold that piece of paper in half to see what would happen to the other side.

 The results were quite interesting!

The Grade 1 and 2 class show what they have learned about symmetry on this bulletin board.
