Our Visit to the Morris & District Centennial Museum

A Trip Back in Time! 🕰️

We had a great time visiting the Morris and District Centennial Museum! It felt like we were stepping back in time as we explored all of the interesting things from our local community’s past.

We took part in a fun scavenger hunt, where we had to search through the museum and find different items. We also made a special little craft gift box to take home. One of our favourite parts was getting to enjoy some delicious home baking!

There were so many cool things to see throughout the museum. Some of our favourite displays were the old-fashioned schoolroom, sports memorabilia, old tools, and rooms from a historic home. It was interesting to see how people lived, worked, played, and went to school many years ago.

We had a fun day learning about our local history while exploring and spending time together. It was a great way to discover what life was like in the past! 🏡📚

Happy Halloween!

🎃 Pumpkins, Math & Halloween Fun!

We had a spooktacular time celebrating Halloween! One of our favourite activities was designing and carving our own pumpkins. We got to be creative and turn our pumpkins into all kinds of fun and unique creations!

We also had fun with pumpkin math! We counted pumpkin seeds, measured our pumpkins, compared their sizes and weights, and solved different math problems. It was a fun way to practice our math skills while using real pumpkins!

Of course, Halloween wouldn’t be complete without dressing up in our favourite costumes! 👻🕷️ We loved seeing all of the creative costumes our classmates wore.

It was a fun-filled day of creativity, learning, and Halloween spirit! We had a boo-tiful time! 🎃👻

A Maze in Corn

 

Terry Fox Run 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

We proudly participated in the Terry Fox Run! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️ It was a special day because we learned about Terry Fox and his incredible determination to help find a cure for cancer.

We walked, ran, and cheered each other on as we made our way along the route. We encouraged our classmates and kept going, even when we got tired!

The Terry Fox Run helped us understand the importance of determination, courage, and never giving up. We learned that one person can make a huge difference and inspire millions of people.

We were proud to come together as a class and be part of Terry’s dream. 

Giraffes Can Dance! 🦒💃

 We kicked off the new year by reading Giraffes Can’t Dance by Giles Andreae. The story reminded us that everyone has their own strengths and abilities, and that sometimes we just need to find our own way of doing things.

We connected the story to our New Year’s goals, thinking about something we would like to learn, improve, or work toward this year. Students shared their goals and talked about the importance of trying our best, believing in ourselves, and not giving up when something feels difficult.

A great reminder to start the new year: We can all find our own way to shine! ✨🦒

Every Child Matters

 

🌈 A Bad Case of the Stripes!

We had lots of fun reading A Bad Case of the Stripes by David Shannon! We learned about Camilla, who loved lima beans but was afraid to be herself because she worried about what other people thought.

After reading the story, we talked about our favourite foods and why we love them. We used our senses to describe what our food looks, smells, tastes, feels, and sounds like. Some of us had some very yummy ideas!

Then we got to be creative and design our own colourful stripes on printed faces. We used our imaginations to create all kinds of wild and wonderful patterns. 🌈

This activity helped us practice descriptive writing, sensory language, reading, and art while also reminding us that it is important to be ourselves and celebrate what makes us unique! 🌟
