Meanwhile, the KB Kindergarten class has kept up their learning with fun activities in their classroom and came up with some of their favourite things about Kindergarten and why they like it so much.

The top spot for the KB class is ‘Centres,’ where the class gets to draw and play with toys, lego, blocks, animals and playdough.

“Centres is the ultimate best thing in the whole school,” they said.

As well, crafts are popular with the class including the weather report and seasonal murals, drawing, the coin project and making robots. Other fun adventures the KB class enjoys are French, dance party, snack, recess, free choice, music, special guests and playing on the big playground.

Nature School is a favourite with all of the Kindergarteners. They enjoy hiking to Windsor Park, visiting Mystic Vale and their ‘Secret Garden,’ and searching for treasures at ‘Treasure Beach,’ as well as playing capture the flag, eagle eye and sardines!

The Kindergarten classes would like to thank Ms. Jessica Dempsey for sharing her expertise as one of our resident GNS storytellers. Our Kindergarten authors enjoyed the opportunity to write this news story with Ms. Dempsey’s guidance, as part of their IB PYP Unit of Inquiry into storytelling.
