Don't Stand By, Stand Up!

Last week was Anti Bullying Week and RBCS did a lot of talking about bullying.  We learned how important it is to stand up to bullies, how to do that, and even shared how we ourselves have been bullied/bullies ourselves.

Our class watched many videos and commercials about bullying, and took a pledge to Stand Up Against Bullying. You can find the pledge here.

We ended the week off with an assembly organized by Student Council.

Home Roots Concert

 

On November 1 we got to watch a Home Roots concert, where two brothers played there acoustic guitar and electric guitar in the Music room.  The grade 8s, 4N and 4Z clapped and stomped to the beat of the music. We all had fun at the Home Roots concert. The two people were brothers but they didn’t look alike. There were lots of songs.  One of them was called “Ontar-i-o”.  We hope that you will get to see them too.  If you get to see them you will have lots of fun.

Happy Halloween

Our class all dressed up for Halloween!

Pumpkin Carving

Today we had a really exciting morning carving pumpkins.  Our groups and helpers scooped out the pumpkin guts and seeds.  It felt so cool, gross, tingly, slimy, and cold! First we weighed and measured our pumpkins and estimated how many seeds were inside. We counted the seeds, drew on a face, and cut out the design.  Then we drew names to see which group member would get to take the pumpkin home, and one group even flipped a coin to find the lucky winner! Next Mrs. Naylor took our picture with our pumpkins and we took one big class picture. We will keep the pumpkins at school until Halloween.
