With the sun on our side, we played, we laughed, we even sweat; all for a day of fun and memories with our dads.
To start the morning off, our casa class shared their excitement with directresses: Miss Anne, Miss Jeanette, Miss Robyn, Miss Randa, Miss Natasha, Miss Kathy, Miss Jennifer, Madmoiselle Dupuis, and Madmoiselle Manon, our friends and of course our dads.
After a brief explanation of how the games would play out, dad’s set out on a canoe race, with a total of three groups, all from different classes. The competitive nature was out in full force!
From there, dads and their children set out on the most challenging obstacle race of their lives…with hill terrain races, noodle relays and hoop jumps, they were in for a tough ride…
But they pushed on successfully, and moved to the next station… TUG OF WAR!
In teams of three, each group of men (divided again by classrooms) pulled and tugged their way to either victory or peril… it was a close call, but it was Miss Natasha’s classroom who prevailed the victors!
Next up was the most challenging match of all… a tri-nomial cube learning game that the children use in the classrooms… let’s just say the dad’s couldn’t figure it out without our kids there to help!
Lastly, the children surprised their dads with gifts, hugs and kisses, and a song they had been working on just for this special event.
Afterwards, our elementary students and their dads enjoyed an afternoon together… canoe racing, sumo wrestling matches, pizza and rootbeer!
All in all, a day to remember for all of us here at Manotick Montessori!
Stay Tuned for more events!
