Locker Decorating

For Halloween, the students got a special bag that had all kinds of spooky items in it that they decorated their doors with. The students were able to use as much time as needed but were assessed on their creative juices to obtain one clear winner. Here are most of the lockers.

Catching up with the Month of October...

October has been a busy month here at Fisher Park... so much so that I have been lacking in posting on a regular basis. Here are some things that have been going on the last three weeks.

Monster Exchange has been completed. The students had a fun time during the lead up and drawing of their peers monsters. Their hard work, proof reading, editing and publishing their descriptions was fantastic. Well done everyone.

 
We were given a special performance by a witch with a scientific specialty. After some elbow grease with an actual liver... and some other additives... the pumpkin came to life to shoot out some bubbly goo.. Yuk.
