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.

Chickering has been struggling with high temperatures for over a decade. This past summer air conditioning was installed in all of the classrooms. To learn how this all came about we talked to Mr. Hill, Chairman of the Dover School Committee, who was instrumental in convincing the citizens to fund this project. Sit back and enjoy our Podcast.
