Activity Day

Mrs. Rand picked the best weather of the week for our Activity Day! It was such an awesome time as the kids were able to visit 36 different stations at their own pace. Activities were inside the gym, on the tarmac and the field. We certainly had a full day of fun!

Here are our thoughts:
I got my face painted with a butterfly. -Charlotte

I went on the obstacle course. I got gold. It is very fun. You go up the steps, down the slide and then up bars, then across the bridge, down the green slide and back to the person and then you are done. -Brody
I liked the water balloons. You had to pass it to your partner and if it popped on your partner it would be a good game. -Marshall

Thanks to all the parent volunteers, grade 5 helpers, Robert Andrews students and BHS staff who made the day a huge success. A ginormous shout out to Mrs Rand for her planning and organizing of this great day. Not only did we have a day of activity, but we also had a delicious hot lunch which we devoured. Thanks to Mrs. Salem and her parent helpers for keeping us nourished and ready for the afternoon. We loved having families join us throughout the day to share in our excitement.

Yummy Hot Lunch!

Hot lunch is always a highlight at school. It also means parents do not have to make lunch for a day. We were very excited to hear the 12:15 bell. We have been busy doing animal research with Mrs. Dent Scarcello for IBL (Inquiry Based Learning). Ask your child which animal they are learning about and some facts they have found out. Measurement continues to be a focus as we are comparing things in our classroom. We reviewed our facts to 10 with a card game called Pyramid. Maybe you can play it at home.

Here are our thoughts:

With the sunshine and warmer winds we are happy to be outside. The week was filled with snow, blowing winds and sunshine. Hopefully spring weather will be here to stay. Thanks to all our volunteers for helping with our hot lunch days. It takes a lot of organization and effort to coordinate a day like this. We appreciate it.
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
