Dancing In The Park

Today, we went to Dancing In The Park. It was so fun! We did lot of dances, like the Macarena, Sing, Sing, Sing, and the Hokey Pokey. The grass was wet, and it was really sunny. There was lots of people wearing green shirts because that's the colour of our school shirts. - Tyler

Today at Dancing In The Park, we did a dance called the Maya Maya - it means 'water water'. It was a really good dance. Everybody got to play tag, except when they were dancing, and everyone had fun. Everybody started to sweat because everybody was dancing and the weather was really hot. - Dylan

Today was Dancing In The Park. Every year in Phys Ed., the students in Grades 1-3 spend a few weeks learning different dances. After they learn the dances, the students get to perform the dances with many other schools in our school division at Dancing In The Park (we joined a number of schools at Centennial Park, while other schools in our division go to the park at Bunn's Creek to dance). Each grade got to do four dances, and all the grades danced together for another ten dances. It's one of our favourite days of the year... especially if the weather holds up and there are no mosquitoes! It wasn't looking good yesterday, but the weather cooperated and gave us a warm, humid, and breezy day with some (awesome!) cloud cover to help keep us from getting too hot. Here are a few shots of us, as well as Ms. Hanna, our fearless leader (and Phys. Ed. instructor) - she always does a great job of teaching the dances to the students, and organizing all of the students (and teachers!) in Grades 1-3 to get us there and back! Thank you, Ms. Hanna!
