Last Thursday our Glee singers put on their own version of the new hit show to rave reviews. Led by our own Mrs. Morris, the singers recreated her class as they were working towards putting on a school show. The class gets their first ( and only) boy member and the fun begins. The boy played by Grade 7's Kibe McMillan were in fact acting out Kobe's own story or being the only boy in Glee.
There is the inevitable boy/girl drama, new girl arriving to class from a foreign land called Saskatchewan, girls wars and a teacher who likes to spend too much time at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It was great fun. Amanda Peterson showed a real flair during her solo and the ensemble group can really belt out a tune.
Thanks for a great show!

Science Fair Rocks
Approximately 150 young scientists predominantly from Grades 5 and 6 strutted their stuff yesterday as partners displayed the results of their investigations in our Multi-purpose room. There was everything from solar powered cars to hovercraft, product testing to tests of acidification. All were being judged by school trustees, members of the community, Woodhaven science teachers Mr. Teliani and Mrs. Schaber and yours truly.
The result was a huge demonstration of learning! As I travelled around judging with the two science teachers they kept telling the Grade 6 participants don't forget this, you will see in again in Grade 8 or 9. The kids didn't set out to study advanced curriculum, but their interests took them there.
Not only were the kids learning science, but because they worked in pairs, they had to cooperate to reach their goals. They also had to present their work to judges which required an understanding of how to present 20 hours of work in three minutes and do so in a mature fashion. All of this was done with style and class.
Thanks to Mrs. Dilling and Mrs. Denet who led the way for us. It was a fantastic day and its great to hear the kids say, "Do we get to do this again next year?"
Cheers
