Phys Ed
This week kindergarten students participated in a dance residency called "Movement with a Message". Students enjoyed learning new moves and loved sharing their creative style with their friends. Students worked on providing each other feedback and practiced sharing compliments. Please ensure your child is dressed in comfortable clothing they will be able to show their moves in. 



Science (STEM Challenge)
Friday mornings wouldn't be the same without a STEM challenge with our grade 2 buddies! PM kinders rocked the Easter egg launcher  challenge. 

Challenges Included:
1) Build a device that will launch an Easter egg into a bucket 3 times in a row.
2) Can students create a launcher with a different design?
3) How can a launcher be modified to throw an Easter egg further?
