5th Grade Retreat

First Day

Today we were going for the 5th grade retreat for the 5th grade Exhibition. I was excited! When we got to the Children's Cultural Center Belgrade we were divided into 3 groups and we each had to go to all of the stations 6 of them. We had snack, lunch and recess. The first station we had was Mrs.Tracy's. There we talked about group cooperation and we also played a game called human knot. I enjoyed that station. Then we went to Mrs.J's station there we talked first about our values later about what children in the world face(that is what our exhibition is on). We came up with lots of ideas. I enjoyed this station as well. After that we went to the station where there was 3 Power Points with pictures from different PYP schools around the world and we had to tell what we saw. That was Fun! Then Finally we could get our snack. Then we continued and went to another station. That was Mrs.Suzanne's station. There we brain stormed and looked at the small Q cards Inquiry.  I liked this station! After that we had lunch (pizza) and then recess in the snow. Than we went to another station with Mr.Moran. We talked about topics for the exhibition and about questions on Q cards. Next we went to Mr.Paul who explained where we could find information on the Internet. Then I was quite tired and after that we went back to school.Today was great! 
Second Day

Today we did mostly the same as yesterday; stations and it was very fun.But the most I enjoyed playing cooperation games with Mrs.Ivana. We first played a game when we took a hoop and put out our right hand fingers and then we had to lift the hoop up and then we had to sit in each other lap and after that we were divided into teams and we were blindfolded and we had a captain and we had to go through all the obstacles blind folded and with the captains signals but not talking. I enjoyed that and also when Mr.Paul showed us how we could present information at the Exhibition. That was fun and also Mrs.Suzanne's station where we had to reflect on how we feel about the exhibition. That is the 3 things I enjoyed the most. I think I know wich topic I am doing. After these 2 days!

Overall the retreat was great!!!!:)
