Getting into the Christmas Spirit

As the holidays are quickly approaching, the second grade students started took a break from their regular work to inquire into the art of Christmas ornament making. Instead of choosing one type of ornament for the whole class to make, we let the students do some research to find an ornament that they liked online and could be made within a very strict timeline...one hour!

They quickly got to work. They were only given 10 minutes to find one design they liked, and would also be able to make with the limited resources in the class. Most were all set to go after 10 minutes and were busy gathering materials from around the school and even some from outside!

Working carefully with scissors, hedge trimmers and hot glue guns, the busy little crafters crafted away! Just narrowly meeting the 3 o'clock deadline and big event for lighting up the Christmas tree!
Check it out in the school entrance area the next time you're in the school! Some of their ornament designs might even end up being chosen for this year's Christmas market!

Field Trip to Suma Athletics Park

Last month on the day before DSK's Oktoberfest, the students in Grade Two joined together with those from Grades 1 to 6 to have a fun day out at Suma Athletics park.
