Thinking Third Grade

Our school was full of excitement as students arrived in wonderful costumes for our Halloween celebration! From spooky outfits to colourful characters, their creativity helped make the day extra special. The celebration officially opened with a school assembly led by the Grade 4 students. They proudly shared their learning from their unit about maps—a fantastic way to begin the festivities! After the assembly, students made their way around the school, visiting trick-or-treat spots to collect treats and goodies. It was a wonderful opportunity to celebrate together and enjoy the Halloween fun.

Today was America Day, and our whole school celebrated with exciting activities and talks from our respected guests! In the morning, the Grade 3 students joined Mr. Davis to learn some basic American football skills. They practised throwing, catching and dodging, and learned how to score a touchdown. It was a fantastic way to get moving and try something new! Next, Ms. Daria led a lively dance lesson, teaching the children how to jive to songs from the 1950s. Our Grade 3 dancers had a wonderful time stepping and swaying to the music! Lunch brought a taste of America, with chicken and fries followed by pumpkin pie prepared by one of our Grade 5 parents. Thank you for this delicious treat! We were also honoured to welcome representatives from the American Consulate. Their visit made our school celebration extra special. What a wonderful day of learning, dancing and celebrating together!
