Axe Capoeira, Sports Day, Speeches and Dioramas

These are the volunteers who came to teach us the Brazilian martial arts & dance program Axe Capoeria. 

For Science, we did dioramas of the biomes that we researched for our inquiry projects. We finished on Tuesday. Here are pictures of some of the biomes.

These are pictures of students delivering their speeches during the annual McBride Speech competition. Everyone did a great job delivering their speeches to an audience of around 200 parents, students and judges.

(Sorry about the blurry speech pictures!)

May Day and Track Meet

On May 25, 2016 our school participated in the May Day celebration at Queen's Park. Grade 4 did the May Pole dances and Grade 3 did the Folk dances. 

This is the top of one of the poles used for the May Pole dance. The decoration represents New Westminster.

Two students dressed up for May Day.

On May 27 we had our annual track meet. At the track meet, students come together to run multiple races. Students can win ribbons based on how they place.

Of course, we still had lots of work to do during the other days.
