Winter Fest

Today we held our school annual Winter Fest for the primary students.  It is very much like the Halloween Howl, but without the costume parade in the afternoon.  Each primary class takes turns going to the gym to compete in the relay races.  We spent the afternoon with 4 other classes (two grade 2 classes, a grade 3 class and a kindergarten class).  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.
