AHOY MATEYS!

 Our pirate theme was a big hit last week. We were digging for buried treasure in the sand box, drawing maps, sailing on the pirate ship, cooking pirate food in the galley and searching for hidden treasure in the classroom!  

KINDNESS TREE

 We have been focusing on kindness for the past few weeks. Every time someone did an act of kindness we put a heart on the kindness tree. When we reached 100 acts of kindness we had a small party!

BOXERCISE!

 We have been training with Borys the boxercise coach. Here are some photos:

School Marathon fundraiser

 On January 23rd the whole school participated in a "marathon" around the school yard. Each child ran between 1 and 3 laps of the yard so that the total distance ran was equal to a marathon. We raised lots of money for the school and thank you to everyone who participated.
