First Triathalon

The first triathalon that Paulina entered and participated in was a real thrill. She started out swimming a good length of the pool (in a straight line like everybody because each child had their own lane). Then she quickly transitioned into the biking segment where she gained some momentum. Afterward, she left her helmet with her bicycle and went on to run the final leg of the triathalon. It was a long run and she found it very trying after having just swum and biked. Nevertheless, Paulina completed the Tri-Fun race with pizzazz running in and around the pilons to the finish line. The announcer caught on to Paulina's spirit and reported that "Paulina looks like she is slaloming - she must be a skiier - what a great finish." She was then presented with a medal and walked to wind down.

Paulina's School Art Display "Visual Voices" at The Living Arts Centre

The Living Arts Centre hosted a wonderful display, "Visual Voices" of many Art pieces created by Primary/Junior students throughout Peel including some from Paulina's school. Paulina's class is doing a study of Water Lillies at the grade 1 level. It looks like the Grade 5s have mastered it.Take a look!

Social Studies

Paulina had an interesting time creating a Theatre for her Social Studies class project. She drew and coloured a scene from the Disney movie, Frozen onto thin tissue paper (so she had to practice care using pencil and marker). This was the theme of her Theatre and she worked thoughtfully and diligently to create just what she wanted. Paulina then presented it successfully in class in French, saying C'est un cinema dans un grand cite.

Writing Journals

Paulina practices her writing in her English writing journal as you can see here from early on and she progressed well as you scroll down.

Paulina has moved into writing in a larger journal as you can see below.

She also likes to write things, phrases, and in this case lyrics to the song from the Disney movie, Frozen.
