Happy May long weekend 2nd grade crew families,

I hope you all had a fabulous weekend together. Huge thank you again to the parent association who provided us with lunch on Friday for our PD working day, it was  delicious!


We had a lovely but busy short week this week. One of our highlights from our week together was our gymnastics unit. Our learning intentions for this were:

Physical Education (Gymnastic Unit and Canadian Climber)

  • I can climb up, across, and down safely using different body parts.
  • I can balance on different parts of my body in still and moving positions.
  • I can move in different ways (like crawling, hanging, sliding or jumping) on and around the equipment.
  • I can control my body when I move on the climbing equipment.
  • I can hold a balance on a narrow or uneven surface.
  • I can land safely on two feet after jumping or climbing.
  • I can notice where my body is and how much space I need to move safely.
  • I can follow the pathways and use the space around me respectfully.
  • I can use the climbing equipment safely and wait my turn.
  • I can check that I am using strong safe, movements.
  • I can share equipment and take turns with others.
  • I can encourage my classmates and work together during activities.
  • I can try new moves and keep going even if it feels tricky.
  • I can listen to instructions and follow the rules during gym time.
  • I can notice when I feel proud of myself for trying something new.


























See you Tuesday friends!

We were super excited to have seen the mural finally come to LIFE in our gymnasium. We know that there was a lot of work that went into this masterpiece with Justin and Mrs. Scarrow (and the teacher committee), we also appreciated that ALL students voices at Andrew Sibbald had an opportunity to contribute to this.  "I am happy he recognized that Justin added the parts we wanted to see in it." Norah "I liked that he added holding hands with each other, and the different colours because we all have different skins."
