2010 Sports Day



On May 18th, students, teachers and staff participated in our annual Sports Day event. Everyone felt great excitement and enthusiasm as we cheered our classmates and colleagues in sprinting events in the 100 metre, 4x100 metre relay and 16x100 metre relay races. Hot, sunny weather and clear blue skies contributed to a fun-filled and memorable event.

Grade 6 Scavenger Hunt Winners!

Last month all grade 6 classes participated in a Spring Scavenger Hunt in and around our school campus.  Students worked together in teams to find listed objects and answers to English questions in a limited time.   Students were instructed to use good manners and to ask for permission before borrowing anything.

The scavenger hunt was a great opportunity for students to use their skills in cooperative learning, communication, and especially, resourcefulness. 

The most successful teams and the hardest working students planned, collaborated and moved quickly to earn as many points as possible in this activity.  Everyone agreed it was a lot of fun and a great opportunity to learn more about our school environment.  Thanks go to our office staff and our Directors for answering the students' many requests and questions that week.

Here are the winning teams from each class:

 Class 601 - Jessie, Apple, Janice, Gary and William

Class 603 -  York, Bruce, Ben, Candy and Cindy

Class 605 -  Alan, Ivy, Dino, Howard and Sean

Class 606 - Jenny, Apple, Fanny, Ben and Peter.

Class 607 - Phoebe, Small, Jordan, Bella and Rita.

Also:  Class 604 - Neil, Robert, Jerry and Nana

Class 601 student, Bobo, shows off the Mercedes Benz car keys that earned his team 25 points!


Congratulations to our winning Spring Scavenger Hunt teams!
