Mrs. Turcotte's grade 1 class were working hard in their Math centres this afternoon.

Here are some grade 1 students who are hard at work: building bird feeders in Science, practicing word wall words and creating adorable penguin art.

We are so excited to welcome our students back to school today! A huge thank you is going out to our students and parents for working so hard to make last week a success! If you borrowed an iPad or a Chromebook from the school, please send it back with your child today. ... This sweet little pre-schooler has the right idea...happy 2021!

Thank you to everyone who has returned their iPad or Chromebook borrowed from our school for our online learning week. If you have not yet returned your device, please send it back with your child tomorrow so we can get them ready for our students to use here at school. Thank you!

Sorry folks! We've been working on figuring out what happened to the videos we shared before break, and learned that there is a limit to the number of views each day. If you find that you aren't able to access the videos you want to watch, please try again the next day. This is an unfortunate glitch as we work to highlight our great Fine Arts programming at our school. We are working on a better solution moving forward. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we learn new ways of doing things.

Here are some pictures of our grade 3 classes hard at work yesterday afternoon. In Ms. Skahl’s music class, they were learning about quarter notes and eighth notes. In Ms. Oar and Ms. Trueman’s Social Studies classes, they were learning about Ukraine. Mrs. Dana’s Social Studies class was starting their unit on India by locating it on a world map, and Mrs. Wahlstrom’s students were creating artwork using pastels.

The Grinch may have made his rounds this afternoon, but our hearts are 3-sizes bigger from the love you share with us throughout the year. We wish you all a break filled with happiness and peace, and look forward to getting back to learning together in January.
