April’s Fool….

April’s fool for many is marked on the first day in April, famously known as April Fool’s Day, and identifies those who have been easily fooled! As the month progresses we forget about this trickery and look forward to the month ahead. We look out the windows of the LLH, hail the first signs of warm weather, and with a spring in our step exchange pleasantries about the amazing yellow beacon in the sky. We believe spring, and maybe summer, is actually here. However, many the fools would argue that the “fooler” is in fact April, and WE have been duped yet again! For in a few short days, we will be searching frantically for that heavy winter coat!

The LLH this month welcomed Sonia Garrett from the Mulgrave community! Sonia presented her first published book, “Maddie Makes a Movie” to the Grade Four and Five students. A dynamic and engaging presenter, Sonia used drama to hook her audience. It is not surprising that students lined up to get their hands on her book! It is definitely a must read!

Who knew making and measuring could be so fun? The launch of our pom-pom maker station was a hit! The makermobile featured all the little bits needed to make furry fun creatures come alive. Students came in droves to “make”, and even with the added challenge of having to “measure” they happily pursued their individual creations.

Finally, the long-awaited Reading Link Challenge took place on April 25, 2018. Students in Grade Four and Five participated by forming teams, reading a selection of books, and preparing themselves for a trivia challenge. The enthusiasm, excitement, knowledge and collaboration was overwhelming. The teams showed no mercy!
