October 20, 2018 – Lakeshore School

Welcome to Kindergarten! September was a busy month for the Kindergarten class.
We started the year with a play day at Lake Ontario Park. Some of the students got to ride a school bus for the first time, which was very exciting! We played games with the older students, went in the splash pad, played at the park, and had a picnic.

We went to the Kingston Fall Fair where we learned about Blacksmiths, agriculture, and turkeys. We got to pet goats, cows, and visited the Police horse!

We learned about the changes that happen when the seasons change from summer to fall. We began learning our shapes, colours, and numbers and played lots of games.

We began learning about letters and what sounds they make. We do a craft for every sound we learn!

What a fantastic month!

The Kindergarten Class!

It has been a very busy September in the Grade 5/6 Class!

Our highlight for the month of September was The Amazing Race Kingston. We were split into three groups and given a set of clues and a map. As a group we had to navigate around downtown Kingston to different landmarks.

We got a picture with the Kingston sign, made a wish in the fountain at Confederation Basin, toured City Hall, saw some artwork at Martello Alley, and visited different statues and memorials. After the race we celebrated with some ice cream and gelato in the park! We had a lot of fun learning about the history of Kingston.

In class we have been learning a lot too! In Social Studies, we compared different types of government. In Science, we learned how to use a scale and a graduated cylinder to accurately measure the mass and volume of different solids and liquids. Gym focused on soccer skills which prepared us for the junior and senior soccer tournament.

October is going to be another busy month. We are looking forward to fishing, camping trips, volleyball, going to the Corn Maze, and working on our Science Fair projects.

We can’t wait for some more adventures at Lakeshore School!!
