Class 5- All Things Green & St. Patrick's Day

Class 5 was beginning to learn about St. Patrick's day today. We learnt about the colour of Ireland.GREEN and discussed about different things that are green. Each child had a turn expressing their own self while talking about green things that they like the best.

Today Class 1 and 2 engaged in a social activity which enabled us to enhance our sharing skills, while playing and having fun with each other! Furthermore, we gained a better understanding of body parts and the vocabulary behind them through using our fine motors to carefully place them in the correct spot. We even had fun being silly and mixing the body parts around to make a funny looking potato head. Overall, we had a fun yet great learning experience shared with one another!

Class 3- Concert Practice

What a pleasure it was to watch my little friends practice their dance routine for the upcoming concert with Ms. Deanne. My friends had their listening ears “clicked on” and all little eyes were glued on Ms. Deanne as she demonstrated and directed them. They were fully engaged and having a blast! First, they practiced Ms. Deanne’s Class 3 “Hip Hop” routine and then they moved to their Ballet routine. Everyone worked hard on their little “Pizza feet” also known as, “First Position” in Ballet terms. There were some beautiful Plies, pointed toe kicks and of course, lots of smiles and laughter.
