This term the Grade 2s have been putting together their penguin projects. They have learnt all about penguins and were itching to write down all the knowledge gained. They had to write about each stage of the penguin life cycle. They then compared it to, and wrote about,  their own life cycle. It has been such a joy to see them create[Read More…]

The Grade 2s are feeling so fortunate to have had two lovely days for our field trips this term. The sun was shining and there was hardly a cloud in the sky. Our ever faithful moms and dads dropped us off at the Seaforth parking lot and from there we walked to Boulders Beach. We filled our brains with fun[Read More…]

Sometimes we get[Read More…]
