Gr. 4-6 students competed in their first house challenge of the year this morning. Dressed in their house colours of  green, blue, red and yellow, they took turns facing off against one another in a tug of war contest. Everyone gave it their all, but it was the green team that came out on top, winning 1st place and 100 bonus house points. Congratulations!  The grade 6s will also be giving their house captain speeches this afternoon and the teams will be voting on who will represent them this year on student council.

Did you know…..Tug of war  was once a royal sport practiced in ancient Egypt and China, where it was held in legend that the Sun and Moon played tug of war over the light and darkness. Interesting!
