Grade One Day :: Red Group

Today was our Grade One Day! We came to school for the whole day!


We had no time to waste.  We went to grade one right away! We met all the grade ones and we met the teachers Ms. Vatcher and Ms. Whiffen! They read us a book named Pirate Pearl by Phoebe Gilman.

Then we learned about treasure maps. We colored our maps and made some spots that show where you have to look for a treasure.  We call them landmarks.



We had to stop our map making because we had a visitor.

Her name was Ms. Hickman and she talked to us about recycling, litter, composting, and ways to keep our earth healthy.  Today was World Environment Day! Did you know that?

We came back to our kindergarten classroom for our snack.  After snack we finished our treasure maps.  We crumpled them up into a pretend snowball and then we sprayed them with tea bag water to make them look old.

Then we got ready for lunch.

We went back to pod one to eat our lunch with the grade ones.  After lunch we went outside to play with all the boys and girls.  We had to be careful.  Only two friends had a boo boo but they were brave.

After playtime was over we went to gym and music class.

It was a fabulous day!

Kaelie loved hanging upside down on the climber!
Corinne liked sitting by herself for lunch because she was shy when she was sitting with the grade ones. She also liked watching Arthur at lunchtime.
Sophia liked hanging upside down with no hands on the climber.  Mrs. Fennemore says that is dangerous with a capital D!
Nathan liked having lunch with the grade ones.  But sadly he couldn't have school lunch like the grade ones.  Mrs. Fennemore says he will have to wait until he is a real grade one boy for that! He also liked it when he played tag with his friends.
Lily was a little nervous but she sucked it up and had fun after a little while. She liked it when she saw her friend Rigel from up her street.
Olivia liked having lunch with the grade one boys and girls.
Julianna liked going to gym best.
Michael liked playing Hide and Seek outside with his friend Noah.
Xavier liked it when he had snack with the grade ones.  He met his bus friend Nic in grade one.
Logan liked it when he saw his friend Nathan outside at lunchtime.
Angelina liked meeting a new friend in grade one.  Her name was Amelia.
Samantha liked going outside at lunch but she didn't like it when she was hurt.
Anya liked it when she played outside on the climber.
Elsa liked it when she hung upside on the climber and she also liked it when she spun on the climber.
Aiden liked it when he played outside.

Mrs. Fennemore said we had a great day!  We are ready for grade one!

Our Grade One Day :: Blue Group

 Today was our grade one day! We came to school for the full day!

We worked so hard. First, it was Bridget's birthday! We sang the birthday songs to her. Then, we picked the helper. Next, we practised our poems.  Finally, we went to visit grade one.

We sat with the grade ones and Ms. Vatcher and Ms. Mullins read us a story called The Balloon Tree by Phoebe Gilman.

We blew up balloons and stapled them to the wall to make our own Balloon Tree!

It was snack time so we came back to kindergarten for snack.

After snack we asked questions to the Student of the Week and then we made a story for the Student of the Week.

Finally it was lunch time! We went to the grade one classroom to eat our lunch. When we were finished, we went outside to play with the grade ones.
