Friday, September 18th

Fridays are busy half days at Cranston School!  We started with PE with Mrs. Kenna and Mr. Van's class!  We enjoyed relays and ball passing activities!  Then we came back to class to focus on some reading time.  Next came Music with Mrs. Mc Bride where we practiced our Terry Fox "Fight" song as well as one of our favorites, Nothing More!

When Mrs. Zwack came back from her meeting, we worked on our pinwheels for Monday's Pinwheel For Peace celebration.  We added many peaceful words and images that we hope will be spread by the wind around the world in an effort to create "Whirled Peace!"

Our Friday outdoor activity was "Compound Games."  Today we learned five new games that we can play at recess.  Our first game was a wall ball game called "Donkey."  You throw the ball at the wall and jump over it when it returns to you. IF you don't jump over you get a letter - D. You play until someone spells out Donkey.  The second game we learned was on the Fours Square.  It is called Four Square Dodgeball.  We learned a skipping game and song "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear."  Our final game was Pac Man tag on the lines in the compound.  Check out some of the pictures of our games.
