What a wonderful day JK & SK had celebrating Winter Fun Day!! We started the day playing outside in the sunshine and then headed inside for some winter-themed activities. We visited the library where Brigitte read some stories about yetis and had some fun yeti games to play and we visited the Makerspace where each child created their own edible snowman. After snack and little free play time, we ventured outside again for a special Treasure Hunt. The kids were split into 4 teams and each team had to solve 6 clues to find a variety of outdoor locations where they could collect their team’s colour ice cube gems. Each team completed their quest and found their gems!! After lunch, we cozied up for a special movie afternoon. It was really special to have the whole school to ourselves today and many kids were overheard saying, “Best Day Ever!!”… how can we not agree!!! Check out the photos below of some highlights…
An update on our Tu B’Shevat-inspired science:
Over the past 3 weeks, we have observed how our little seeds have rooted in their bags, sprouted and then grown in their planters into little plants (or in some cases, not). As with all science experiments, we have had varying results: some plants have not grown since transferring whereas others have multiple blooms. Today, the plants will be coming home where we hope the kids will continue to care for them and observe their growth…. and if they end up “getting lost” along the way that’s okay too 😉
