Happy Weekend!
Wow, what a way to end the week. Science Fair was a huge success and I received great feedback from the judges! The kids should feel so proud of themselves for following through on their scientific process, experimenting and trying something new.
We hope you have a great weekend of rest and for some, we’ll see you bright and early tomorrow at South Sound Stride!
Also, if anyone was able to visit Grade 3 projects and took photos, can you email me? We would love to create a collage and share on the blog of our Science Fair day.
Thank you all again for your support with your child’s learning and exploration in science!

Grade three visited the Bodden Town Mission House and gained a wealth of knowledge about Cayman’s traditional houses, food, folklore, education, travels and religion. The Grade three class was also visited by a local entertainer (Michael Blackburn) from the Pauze Entertainment Group – a local christian rap group. He spoke about his life growing up in Cayman, the differences in his childhood and Cayman today, what aspects of Cayman folklore led to him pursuing music and the importance of being a christian in a changing world.
