Nicholas was our star student this week!
We kicked off the second week of Advent by leading the school assembly.
Each morning we gather as a school to pray and get our hearts ready for the birth of Jesus. Listening to the children sing "Violets in the Snow" is a very moving experience. Please feel free to join us if you have the time.
This week was concert week so we did lots of preparing to make sure the show was amazing. It takes many helper to put the Christmas concert ready for our Pope John Families!
Finally the big day came and we lined up to head to the gym.
The students did a great job on stage!
The angels celebrated their wonderful performance after it was all over.
Then they got a bit goofy!
The shepherds celebrated their performance too!
They they go a bit goofy too!
In between Christmas concert preparation and performances we managed to get a few work items done. One of our centres this week required great team work to build this beautiful floor puzzle of the Christmas story. It took all week to complete with each group contributing to building the completed puzzle.
We also managed to do come packing for our pretend trips to Iqaluit and Meteghan in social studies.
Friday arrived and it was time to "Show What You Know" in spelling.
We ended the week off by watching an Alberta Ballet performance.
We had a wonderful week!
