Field Trip To Kolodka Farm

We saw alpacas. It was cool. We got to go on a zip line and a nature walk. I liked the zip line and I liked when Ms Martens gave me an extra push. It was fun. Alpacas are cute. - Matteo

 It was fun going on the zip line and the nature walk. We saw alpacas and we got to spray the alpacas. This keeps them cool. We got to play and we did a craft. - Logan F.

We learned about alpacas. They are different from a llama. They are smaller. They are from the same family as a camel. They come from the Andes Mountains in South America. I liked the zip line and seeing the chickens and seeing the bunny rabbit. The nature walk was fun. - Aylie

I liked the nature walk and the zip line. We learned about the alpacas. They spit green sticky stuff.  I liked the chickens and the bunny. We made cookies and used alpaca hair to make a craft. We also ate lunch at the farm. - Liam P.

The Caterpillar Cupcakes

Me, Jill and Aylie made the cupcakes all together with Mrs. Penner because it is fun. It was really big when it was finished. It was awesome and cool. -  Riley

We made cupcakes and we put them all together to make a big caterpillar. We got to put the filling in and we got to ice them. The legs were black licorice. Me, Kimberly and Abby got to make the cupcakes. - Andrew

Milk Spirit Week

Pajama Day was awesome and cool. I wore hockey pajamas. It was so wicked. - Riley

For Jersey Day we wore jerseys. There were Jets, Canada and Bomber jerseys. We had an Oreo dunking contest. Andrew, Adam and Leeya got to go into the contest. - Abby

On Thursday it was Wacky Day. Some people wore two shoes on one foot. Everyone had really, really wacky hair. Some wore their shirts backwards. It was fun. - Aylie

Monday was Pajama Day and Tuesday was Jersey Day. Wednesday was Cowboy Day and Thursday was Wacky Day and Friday was Beach Day. On Cowboy Day we had a Moo Off and Tuesday was the Oreo Dunking contest. It was really fun doing the contest. - Andrew                           

                                  

Mentos Fountain

We put Mentos into tonic water. You need a certain kind of Mentos and do not shake it before. It goes up like a fountain because the Mentos don't go well with carbon dioxide. - Avery

Our New Books!

We bought 28 books for $90.00 and read for 13184 minutes in February. Some of the books we bought are called "Yes Day", "I'm A Shark", "Geronimo Stilton", "Gilbert In Deep" and "Splat The Cat". I like the books. - Jill

I like the "Harry Potter Lego", "Yes Day" and "Flat Stanley" books. I also like the hockey book. I liked picking the books. - Adam

HAPPY EARTH DAY!

Each student in the grade 1/2 classes spent the morning making an Earth out of Rice Krispies and cleaning our school playground. They did a great job and collected many bags of garbage! Thanks for working so hard and taking care of our Earth. I'm very proud of you! - Ms Martens

Truffula Trees

The truffula trees are from the Lorax story. The Lorax speaks for the trees. We made our own trees with pipe cleaners and pom poms. - Nathan

We put plasticine on the plate and then we put truffula trees into the plasticine. We used pom poms. It was fun. - Desiree

We use pom poms and pipe cleaners to make the trees. They look awesome. We should protect our trees. - Kimberly

PINK DAY!

There were lots of people wearing pink because they were standing against bullies. The soccer team was called "Pinkies." - Ayden

Pink Day was cool and I won a pink t-shirt. Pink was awesome. We wore pink because it was anti-bullying day. - Riley

I won a pink t-shirt and we all had to wear pink. We wore pink because we didn't want to get bullied. - Charity
