First Week Photos!
Elementary Phys ed
It was so nice to see all of our students get back running cross country, playing soccer and frisbee and having fun together.
UE Culture studies underway!
Upper Elementary classrooms are buzzing with excitement as kids work together on their first Culture projects of the school year. The Year Fours are learning their way around an atlas for their Mapping unit, while the Year Fives are creating giant cardboard displays of the layers of the atmosphere. The Year Sixes are taking things seriously; researching about our Canadian Government, but they still like to play with Lego. Just check out their awesome version of the Parliament Building!
To keep all this fun rolling, Carroll is busy sanitizing our tables and chairs! Good, clean fun in Upper Elementary!!
