Mr. Bishop’s Grade 6 class and Mr. Hutton’s Grade 5/6 class planned and ran Glencairn Public School‘s first Spark-a-thon for the year, and boy was it ‘Spark’tacular!

During the middle block of the school day, students and staff enjoyed the sunny day as everyone came together and played. There was tug-o-war, sack and three-legged races, Lego building, parachute games, crafts and an obstacle course, to just name but a few. It was great to see students helping and encouraging each other, no matter what age, to participate in all activities.

With the supervision of their teachers, the students organized everything from activities and games around the playground, right down to the equipment needed and number of students located at each station. There was even an appearance by Spark and Spike, the school mascots! The rest of the schools’ students enjoyed moving from one activity to another.

A big thank you to all the Grade 5 and 6 students who organized the event. It was great to see such leadership and teamwork skills!

 

What a great day to be outside!
