The players talked about where they were from, their favourite rival team, if they had been traded, pre-game rituals, favourite music, and more! We also got to meet the Barrie Colt's mascot, Charlie Horse!
VIDEO STARS
Today, during technology time, Mrs. Maltby made a video of our class dancing. We learned about special effects. She taught us that not everything we see on television is real. This is so cool. Unfortunately the file was shrunk when went it was emailed to us so it is a bit 'fuzzy' right now. Have a sneak peak and check back again, we will try to upload the original file.
