A Busy Few Weeks!
The Grade 1/2 students have been very busy this winter. We enjoyed visiting Little Cat Creek and trying out the snowshoes! It was lots of fun! We learned about predators and their prey and followed tracks in the fresh snow. There were lots of animals exploring and hunting at Little Cat!
We had a great time celebrating Chinese New Year and the 100th day of school. We made Lego projects that used 100 pieces of Lego, did 100 Math questions, and wrote a journal entry about what we would be doing if we lived to be 100 years old!
March Break!!
We cannot believe that it is the last day of school before March Break!! We are super excited to sleep in tomorrow morning! The last week before March Break was Spirit Week! Our class planned out the days for the Spirit Week. We dressed up as our favourite character, had some crazy hair, wore some…

Skiing, Valentine's Day, Olympics and 100 Days of School, Oh My!
It is hard to believe that we have been in school for 100 days! We have done so many things over the last few months!
Ski Trip
A few of us went on the ski trip! We had fun exploring the different hills and skiing our way down the runs!
Valentine’s Day
We exchanged Valentines in our class. We hung out with the grade 1/2 class at school and we built different sculptures and baked some Valentine’s Day cookies.
Olympics
We have been learning about the Olympics in class. We have talked about the different sports, the athletes, and the provinces they train in. The Kindergartens to Grade 6’s competed in a house team Olympics outside. We competed in obstacle courses, snow soccers and made snow sculptures.
Little Cat Creek
Throughout February we went to Little Cat Creek. We went snowshoeing through the forest
Speeding Down the Slopes...
The week of the 11-16 of February was special for the 5/6’s because on Wednesday, February 14th, we went to Calabogie Peaks to ski!
We took several cars for the 2 ½ hour trip and then got our ski gear on and flew through our tests. Everyone got a group lesson, going down the easiest trail with a ski instructor who would stop and teach us as we went. At 3:00, several people went home, but it was an overnight trip, so those staying enjoyed an hour of skiing without other school groups around. After skiing, a few students went to the pool and hot tub to relax, and we had a delicious taco dinner. We all went to our rooms and suites for a good night’s sleep before the next long day.
In the morning, there were a dozen options for breakfast with croissants, yogurt, granola, bagels, cereal…you name it, it was there. At 8:30 am sharp, everybody was waiting at the lifts, excited to go up for another day. For lunch, we had a sandwich bar with many options. After the refreshing feast, most kids went out to ski until 3:00. Then, the second wave of kids went home for the 4 day weekend.
Thank you to the parents who helped and the teachers who came along and organized this fantastic trip. Everyone had so much fun!!!
February Fun!
WOW!!! February was a very busy month with Groundhog Day, Valentine’s Day, 3 Little Cataraqui Creek trips, the 100th Day of School, the ski trip, Family Day, and squeezing in time for classroom learning!
We learned about hibernation and animals that adapt to winter during our visits to Little Catarqui Creek. We pretended to be animals and made warm homes for ourselves in the snow and in trees so we could stay warm for the winter. We learned about what changes occur in animals to adapt to the colder weather. We enjoyed some warm tea with each visit while enjoying the beautiful weather. We can’t forget about feeding the chickadees!
