Square Dancing - Grade 1M

Grade 1M had SO much fun this week as we learned to square dance with Mr. Bob Dallman - a square dance caller for over 42 years! Here are some pictures of us. Head couples, promenade, bridge, and flutterwheel were just a few of the amazing things that we heard and did!

Remembrance Day with Our ELIM Grandbuddies - Grade 1M

On Friday afternoon Grade 1M had the privilege of spending time with our ELIM Grandbuddies and doing a Remembrance Day craft together. We also had the honour of listening to Mr. George Gunn - one of our Grandbuddies - talk about his experiences as a WWII veteran. He even brought the official uniform that he wore as a Canadian soldier and all of the medals that he received - just for us! Even without the treat that we got it was an amazing afternoon!

Firefighter Brian Visits Grades 1V and 1M

Today we invited Mr. Brian MacGillivray into our classroom to teach us about fire safety. Firefighter Brian is a firefighter with the Vancouver Fire Department. He told us all about the ABC's of fire safety, smoke detectors, how to safely leave a burning building, how to make a fire plan to get out of our homes in case of a fire, and when to STOP, DROP and ROLL. Firefighter Brian also showed us some of the awesome (and noisy) equipment that he uses when he is working hard to fight fires! We even got Fire Chief hats to remember the day!!

Grade 1M Visits With Our ELIM Grandbuddies - October 4, 2011

Grade 1M had a WONDERFUL time meeting and greeting our Grandbuddies from ELIM (the senior's residence beside the primary campus)this afternoon. We spent lots of time talking with our Grandbuddies about what we were thankful for. We wrote these things down on autumn colured leaves and then we pinned them all on our THANKFUL TREE! Now - we can't wait to visit our Grandbuddies again next month!!
