The Halloween Contest

Chickering Student Radio

In our Halloween contest, we had lots of fun making flyers, voting on the pictures, and recording the podcast. We learned how to use Audacity and we were very creative with our thinking. Ms. Winters said that when she was a really little kid her Grandma would always give her a giant chocolate bar. Ms. Winters also likes to change up her pumpkin’s design every year. Hope you enjoy this episode.

The PTO has an auction every two years. This year the auction’s theme is Mardi Gras. Since students may not attend, to learn more, we talked with Mrs. Gemelli, chairperson for the event and two parents who attended, on March 24, 2018.  We hope you enjoy learning about this year’s Mardi Gras auction.

2018 Chickering Winter Olympics in Review

Every 4 years, Chickering School has their own version of the Winter Olympics, when the real Olympics are taking place.  Ms Riordan and Mr. Fraser, our physical education [P.E.] teachers, used our P.E. or gym equipment, to replicate the actual Olympic events. The events include:  Biathlon, Cross Country Skiing, Curling, Luge, Skeleton, and Speed Skating. To recognize these activities they appear as follows:

. Biathlon – children “skate” on styrofoam, then shoot a basketball or yarn ball into a basket
. Cross Country Skiing – 2 children “skiing” together
. Curling – children use a hockey stick to push donut-shaped rings into a circle
. Luge – sitting on scooters and being pushed by another student
. Skeleton – lying on the scooter
. Speed Skating – children “skate” on styrofoam

Ms Riordan  and Mr. Fraser asked us to review and edit about 500 photos from our Olympic events … this took a very long time! We hope you enjoy our photo review of the Winter Olympic.

Sr. Romer, our Spanish teacher, asked the reporters to create a video showing a sampling of fourth graders explaining, in Spanish, their identities. We selected four students from Mrs. Atkinson’s, Mrs. Grady’s, and Mrs. Kraeutler’s classes.  We hope you enjoy viewing this video.
