Halloween

Our Halloween party was so much fun this afternoon.  Thank you to all the volunteers who helped make it such a success.  The 2nd graders rotated around all four classrooms and enjoyed a different Halloween themed activity in each room.  They wrapped mummies, hunted for eyeballs in spaghetti, and created a variety of crafts.  Hope you enjoy the photos...

Field Day

Buddy Field Day was a complete success.  The 2nd graders were excited to see their buddies again so soon!  The class rotated between 4 activities beginning with The Galaxy, where students had to work in teams to get 'Luke Skywalker' (a pingpong ball!) from one end of the galaxy (multi-purpose room) to the other using short lengths of half pipe.  Team work was also essential for the bridge challenge where students had to create a bridge with blocks, all balance on it, then move the bridge forwards while all still standing on the blocks.

Botanic Gardens

The weather looked like it cleared up beautifully for the trip to the Botanic Gardens.  The students enjoyed getting first hand experience of the plants and insects they have been studying in Science.  Here are a few photos:

Buddies

We were so excited to meet our 6th grade buddies today! The students got to know each other by asking questions and using the information to create a superhero!
