Beach Education...


We spent a fantastic day at East End beach staying safe while having fun at the beach.  As our children get older, more in-depth surf knowledge is taught, culminating in students learning how to identify hazards such as rip currents, ways to keep themselves and others safe, and what action to take if they get into trouble.

The marshmallow challenge...

Room 8 students showed some great cooperative learning skills!  Learning to work with each to solve a problem, and yes of course this was lots of fun trying to build the tallest skyscraper using only toothpicks and marshmallows!
