5C's Christmas PJ Party - December 15th

Yesterday we had our Christmas class party. Our party was a pj party. We all had loads of fun. We also traded Christmas cards with our buddies in 2N.
After that we came back to the classroom and traded Secret Santa gifts. We all received great gifts. We also donated food to the Greater Vancouver Food Bank.
We watched the movie Santa Buddies, starring our very own Sophia. We had a vast amount of cookies, hot chocolate and popcorn!

Merry Christmas from Class 5C!!!Posted by: Cameron, Carson and Jaxson

Winter Concert - December 10th

This morning we performed our Winter Concert Dress Rehearsal for the school. We had a blast and are really looking forward to performing for our parents tonight!

Festive Store - December 1st

5C went to the Festive Store today. We had so much fun looking for gifts for our families, pets and other special people. There were lots of wonderful presents to choose from. The helpers were fantastic and we even got to meet Santa!

Mrs. Claus gave us mini candycanes when we left the store. The candycanes tasted like peppermint. We had a terrific time at the Festive Store! Merry Christmas!

Canwest Spelling Bee, Third Round: November 12, 2009

As soon as we walked into the Library and took our seats, it was pretty safe to say we were all a little bit nervous. It was a great feeling hearing the little ding of the bell and knowing you'd be safe until the next round.
















In the end, seven of us were still standing and will be moving on to the next round at Morven in early December. I think everyone had a great time enjoying the experience and they are looking forward to trying again next year.

Congratulations to Alex Z. and Peter who will compete in the fourth round!

Hallowe'en Party - October 30th

On Friday, October 30th we had a spooktacular Hallowe'en party! There were lots of fun activities such as "make a monster" and making cool masks.
We had yummy food brought in by our moms! We had some spookiful edible bugs made by Mrs. Filewych and a giant watermelon brain with a lot of fruit made by Mrs. Park.
Mrs. Brown's haunted house was soooo scary it made our insides churn! Over all, it was a spooky, frightful and fun Hallowe'en party!

Autumn Lanterns - October 28th

Today we woke up 10 minutes earlier than usual to collect different kinds of leaves from our yards. We brought these leaves to school while they were fresh.

We got some colourful candle wax and arranged the leaves and the candle wax on sheets of wax paper. Ms. Clark and Ms. Meglaughlin ironed the wax paper sheets together for each of us. If we wanted, we could add the candle wax, too. After, we made the borders and handles. It was a lot of fun making the autumn lanterns.

Pumpkin Carving - October 26th

Today, the class of 5C had the honour of carving pumpkins for the Capilano Harvest Festival. We were all very excited when the truck that brought our pumpkins arrived.














We carved fun, scary and intricate patterns onto the joyful jack-o-lanterns. Five parents came to help us enjoy the fabulous festivities of the pumpkin carving.


































Overall, it was one of the most fun things 5C has done this year!
