Today we celebrated Winter Fest. It is a school tradition that the primary students (K-3) do every year around this time. If you remember the Halloween Howl, it is very much like that but without halloween costumes. Each primary class takes turn going to the gym to compete in the relay races. We spent the afternoon in the gym with 3 other classes (a grade 3 class, a grade 2 class and Ms. Baldry's K/1's that we've mentioned before). It was so much fun! There are 8 events to compete in.
1.) Snowshoe Race (with the help of a partner you have to walk with the paper snowshoes from one end to another)
2.) Sleigh Ride (sitting backwards on a potato sack two other team mates pull you from one end to another)
3.) Snowballs Through Tunnels (students pass a "snowball" aka volleyball through the legs of the team)
4.) Snowball Toss (toss a wiffle ball into the snowman's hat)
5.) Knock the Penguin Off (toss a wiffle ball at the penguin on the iceberg)
6.) Snowboard Ride (students ride on their stomachs on the roller board and pick up a marshmallow and return back to their team)
7.) Biathlon (students "ski" with J-clothes, then drop to their stomach and try to throw 3 beanbags into a milk crate)
8.) Hockey Finale (the students take turns shooting on nets with the teachers as goalies)
Mrs. Morrison tried to get as many pictures as she could but she was also busy setting up equipment for the relays.
What a lot of fun you seem to have in your kindergarten class!! I love the idea of all the games you play in for your Winter Fest. It is like the Winter Olympic Games!Which games were your favourite?
ReplyDeleteI am all the way over the other side of the world in a country called Australia. In a city called Sydney. My Kindergarten class have not started school yet and are still on summer holidays. I think they are excited and maybe a little nervous about starting in a new place. I wonder if you felt the same before you started school.
I will set up my blog and maybe you can give us some ideas and thoughts about how you felt when you first stared school.
I love reading what you all get up to! Keep up the great work!
Dear Mrs. Dudley,
ReplyDeleteThank you for looking at our blog. We liked the Winter Festival. We really enjoyed shooting the hockey balls when the teachers were in the nets. We also enjoyed throwing the pretend snowballs and rolling on our tummies to get a marshmellow.
Some of us were a little scared to start kindergarten because we were all new and didn't know anyone. But guess what? Kindergarten is NOT scary. KINDERGARTEN IS FUN!!! We look forward to reading your blog!
