Plasticine Crèches

The Afternoon Kindergarten class made plasticine crèches!

Playschool is Celebrating Christmas!

There is a lot going on in the Playschool class this week as we get ready for Christmas!

 

Students read Christmas stories.

Ms. Williams reads and acts out La Nativité: Bébé Jésus, Marie et Joseph, L’Ange visite Marie for the students.

 Students get to play with Santa’s beard, as they manipulate shaving cream to give Santa a new look.

  Roll the die and see how many dots to place on the picture.

Children learn about hygiene and taking care of others, as they get to bathe their own baby Jesus.

Centennial Greenhouse

The Centennial Greenhouse is all decorated for Christmas. The Kindergarten class visited there on Monday this week.

 

The Kindergarteners saw many different things that they really liked at the green house, but these were their favourites!

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!
