In the past week our Grade 5 Indigenous students went on drum making field trips!

Students in Grade 2 through 5 put together teams, choreographed and practiced dance routines to present to their peers during recess over the last couple of days. There were lots of laughs, ooing, ahhing, and cheering in the gym! Sandy Hill is lucky to have such a talented group of students!

The Sandy Hill Grade 5s split into two teams and went head-to-head last week! Both teams performed well in front of the Grade 2s and 3s demonstrating how they conquer their learning targets, and to inspire the younger students to play when they reach Grade 5. 

Game ended with a nail-biting tie of 6-6! Way to go Suns!

Sandy Hill Elementary was transformed into a Winter Wonderland on Friday with games, a photo booth, facepainting, concession with popcorn & candy, family pizza, raffle baskets and so much more!

One more week of skittle ball! 

This is a picture of the teams combined but it was an optional game (one team had a bye) so not all of our team members were present. We’ve been having a blast and sure appreciate our coaches, Mrs. Fetterly, Mrs. Riddell, Mrs. Jones, Madame Hawkins, and Coach Smith.
