29 Feb 2012 - What shall we do on the extra day this year?

04 Mar 2012

Once every four years in February, we're rewarded with a little gift: an extra day at the end of the month before our parents have to pay rent.
 
In short, the purpose of adding an extra day to February every four years is to sync up the 365-day Gregorian calendar with the solar calendar, which is 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds long -- the (near) exact amount of time it takes the earth to revolve around the sun.



We have decided to do some fun activities on the extra day this year

Multi-Skills with Dave

'GRANDMA CAN YOU RAP?' performances




TEAM WORK:  Can we prevent the other class mates from cutting and eating a piece of chocolate?




Who's up for rounders?




What better way to finish off our fun filled day than with our favourite games.




Did you do anything special on the 29th of February 2012?
