Being Thankful

The Kindergarten is thankful for so many things. Last week we went outside and also down to the creek to find things that the Lord made that we were especially thankful for. Then we included them in our Thanksgiving Books. Here are some of the wonderful things we found:

The bridge,

ducks,

the creek,

throwing rocks,

grass,

the playground,

and climbing bars!

There is just so much to be thankful for!

Playschool's Thanksgiving

Playschool makes Thanksgiving meal - we make chicken and gravy, potatoes, carrots and yummy stuffing. We cut our vegetables very carefully!

Children help to set the table - see our place settings!

Yum! Our tummies are full and thankful to the Lord for good food!

Kindergarten Takes the Bus

For "Bb" week, the Kindergarteners went on the Burnhamthorpe Bus! We took the eastbound bus, arrived at the Mill Road Loop, sat for six minutes and then came back again! Boy we had a blast!

Working and Eating Cake

In the Junior Room, the year started off with a birthday!

The children enjoyed a birthday cake treat as they worked.

Welcome Back!

We hope that everyone had a fun and relaxing summer. We are excited for the start of a new school year and hope that you are too!

Have a safe and fun summer!

Grams and Kilograms

When learning about grams and kilograms, we lined up all the boxes from
heaviest to lightest. It was colourful, fun and educational!!

Quilts

One of the most exciting things that the Grade 5’s did this year was to make quilts! It was a long-ranging project, but everybody stuck it out and did a great job. We started in September, took a break during December, and finished in early spring. Each of the students assembled the pieces on sewing on machines and then sewed the binding on by hand. As you can see from the photos, the final products are really terrific!

Earth Day

On Earth Day (back in April) we contributed by cleaning up all the litter
around the school and church property.

Our Dinosaur

We drew a dinosaur on the pavement in chalk. From head to tail, it took up
the whole length of our play yard.

As you can see, a child is not even as big as one leg of this giant beast!

Library Cards

We show off our personal public library cards. It was a proud day when both girls received their own card.

The Primary Room goes Hiking at Rattlesnake Point

We had a FANTASTIC time at Rattlesnake Point last Thursday! We hiked in the woods and we explored the caves!
