Our trip to Colasanti's




We started our day with a Hay Ride around the field at Colasanti's






Next, we arrived at the first maze, made out of Hay Bales. The first time we went through the maze, they sent us in partners looking for animal pictures they hid before we arrived. Each group could only find the picture that matched the one they were given.

 





The second time through the maze, they had to balance a golf ball on a spoon as they traveled through the maze.  







 While they were waiting to travel through the maze of trees, the students played a game of pumpkin bowling.






The students were excited to go through the last maze to search for their own pumpkin.










After lunch, they visited the Petting Zoo. I wonder if they can remember all the different animals that live at Colasanti's? 


























It was an AWESOME day !!! Some of the students even took a quick nap on the way home. The teachers will take their nap when they get home.  :)

The Big Crunch


The Big Crunch
 On Thursday, October 24, the students and staff participated in; "The Big Crunch !" We had some apples donated to the school from the Jump Start Program. We passed out an apple to each student and staff member and Mrs. Uttley counted down 3,2,1 and we all took a bite from our apple at the same time. These apples were donated to Prince Edward to help us promote healthy eating.

Curriculum Expectation: Health and Physical Activity:  Students will investigate the benefits of nutritious foods and explore ways of ensuring healthy eating.
















While we were all outside, the whole school joined Mrs. Uttley and danced to some familiar music. We had a great time eating a healthy snack and getting some exercise.

Curriculum Expectation: Health and Physical Activity:  Students will participate actively in creative movement and other daily physical activities.
