Happy New Year! First Senior Buddy Visit of 2014!

Yesterday we visited our senior buddies.  Ryan and Tyler read Snowballs.  Together we created our own snowmen out of beautiful stuff.  For a special treat, we made snow ice-cream. Here is the recipe: 8 cups of fresh snow (not yellow :D , 300 ml can of condensed milk and one teaspoon of vanilla. Mix and serve immediately.  Try this recipe before the snow melts! To end our visit, we played snowman bingo!

Our Christmas Senior Buddy Visit

Today we sang our Christmas concert songs and made Christmas ornaments with our senior buddies.    We made Santa fruit skewers. To end our visit, we sang Christmas carols and wished our buddies a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 

Good News

Today we had an assembly to celebrate raising $1109.00 for the Terry Fox Foundation.  We had an extra recess and our teachers did a flash mob to Boot Scoot and Boogie. 
   We have been researching provinces and territories of Canada. Here we are colouring with oil pastels our huge Canada map.  It's looking awesome!

Special Guests

Mr. Laroche visited our school last week. He is Juno Award winner for sound effects.  He invented a box with a drum and a microphone.  Mr. Laroche spoke French and English to us.  He made lots of interesting sounds and played the harmonica.

                 Mr. Bouchard came to our school today. He is a famous Canadian Metis author. He has wrote 74 books.  His message was that anyone can become a good reader, you just need to find that one book.  Also, stories from your grandparents are better for you than television because they use your imagination.  He showed us and played flutes to tell us stories about Raven, Crow and his dad.  Mr. Bouchard taught us about the Seven Teachings.  If your grandparents run out of stories tell you, ask your teachers or go to the library to find new stories.

First Senior Buddy Visit

  It was so nice to meet our new senior buddies and see our buddies from last year.  We decorated gourds for our senior buddies to have in their rooms for Thanksgiving.  It is a nice little keepsake!  We brought pumpkin tarts to share. They were so tasty!

Third Annual Farmyard Friends

    Three Grades 1/2 Multi-age classrooms created an exciting Farmyard Petting Zoo with twenty one booths of activities and information. Our first stop was to learn The Chicken Dance by the barn.  That was really fun! They incubated chicken and duck eggs for their learning in science this term. Money raised goes to our village project in Enelerai. It was a blast!  Thank you for all your hard work students! 

Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Today we went to East Gate Lodge to walk for Alzheimer's.  We raised over $400.00 to help find a cure for Alzheimer's.  After the walk, we had a BBQ hot dog, bag of chips and a drink.  We played a memory game.  Three people from our class won a prize! It was a great day!
