The Christmas County Spelling Bee - Video!

Alright, so I've finally uploaded the video of The Christmas County Spelling Bee.  There are some wierd unintended effects throughout, and it jumps around a little, but I never claimed to be a film editor of any kind.  

Enjoy!

Grade 5/6 reads their stories to the 1/2 class

Prior to Christmas Break, Grade 5/6 wrote Christmas stories and read them to their reading buddies in Grade 1/2.  The stories were a nice complement to the nativity scenes that the Grade 1/2 class made for Art.

Chapel - Blessed are the Meek

We had a very nice Christmas chapel where we explored the word 'meek' and talked about how Christ was born in the full 'meekness' of humanity and the importance of this.  It was a nice precursor to our Christmas celebration and vacation.

The Christmas County Spelling Bee

On Tuesday evening OCS performed the Christmas County Spelling Bee for a 'sold out' crowd.  I've never seen the gym that full before and the kids and teachers did a fantastic job. 

Grade 5/6 working with Electricity

The students from grade 5/6 worked together to discover how electricity moves through circuits.

A sneak peak at some of the structures that the Grade 1/2 class designed in their recent Science unit.

The 12 Days of Giving: The Orangeville Foodbank

Our students collected goods for the foodbank as part of their 12 Days of Giving.  They didn't stop there, they went to the Foodbank to help out for a morning.  The staff go on Monday afternoon.

Costume Day

Unfortunately I forgot to wear my costume today, but everyone else seems to have picked up my slack.  Nice job, gang!

Chapel - Blessed are those who Mourn

We had a very moving chapel today where Ms. V. shared her story of God's comfort during a difficult time of loss in her life.  This was nicely tied into our commemoration of Remembrance Day tomorrow with a time of prayer for those who mourn.
