Blue Sky School

On Tuesday September 24th we went on a field trip to Ikea. We started our day with breakfast with students from Sir Guy and then we played some card games, Friends trivia, and talked. Then we were sent off in groups to complete some measurement challenges. We split up into our groups then we were given a list of seven different exciting measurement challenges to complete within a two hour time frame. We learned so much information that will help us excel in the future. Each group completed as much as possible then met up to debrief with the whole group. This activity was so much fun, I hope there will be more fantastic activities like it.

It was very refreshing and crisp (in other words really really cold). After a few jumps in and out, the...

In grade 2, I started getting in trouble all the time because I didn’t really like school. I thought there were more fun things to do, so I did them. I got in trouble for that. The teacher was making the kids do normal school stuff like writing, math, French and reading. I would talk when I wasn’t supposed to or just play around at my desk instead of working. When someone would find me doing those things, they would send me to the hall. I would play hockey with a pencil and paper ball. That was better than being in the classroom. I would always stay outside longer than I was supposed at recess to and hide in my locker instead of going to class. Then, either my teacher or another teacher would see me. They would assume that I was just misbehaving. Really, I didn’t want to go into the class and do my work. I didn’t think I could do a good job at it. I felt bad about myself. They would say, “Go to the office.” I told myself I didn’t really care. Everyone started thinking I was ...
