An Entertaining Play!

Today the students of room 4 were entertained by some of their classmates, as some of the girls in our classroom performed a short play of "Little Red Riding Hood". The students had a director and a narrator, and organized the costumes and the practices themselves. We were all very entertained!

The Final Day of Our Outdoor Education Challenge! Mud, Water and Sand Day!

Thankfully the forecasted thundershowers have held off, and we are able to be outside for our final day of the outdoor challenge. Today we have new sand, water and mud for the students to use along with their imaginations for creative play. Not all students chose to partake in the mud play, but those who did sure looked like they were having fun!

The weather was much more cooperative today! Everyone had a relaxing laid-back day of fun.

Soggy but Smiling! Day 3 of the Outdoor Challenge!

Today was another soggy day, but it did not stop the students of Room 4! We started our day with a walk to the Leo Mol Garden to do a colour match scavenger hunt with plants and flowers with the Kinders and Room 8.

Once we were back at the school, it was time for some fun in the puddles!

There were lots of water-logged worms on the path. Ben found one that was HUGE!


This afternoon we worked on a team-building activity where we collaborated to build a large sand castle complete with a moat!
