Museum of Anthropology

Dear Parents and Students,

We had a fabulous day at the Museum of Anthropology. The children reinforced their knowledge about Potlatches and got to hold and learn about special ceremonial regalia doing presentations about them and sketched carvings and learned about the different realms. They enjoyed exploring the whole museum, discovering beautiful and interesting artifacts held in deep drawers and looking at ancient totem poles and magnificent mask and canoe carvings, traditional clothing, blankets, jewelry, sculptures, dishes, statues etc. not just from the aboriginals in Canada, but from every continent in the world. What a day! We thank our parent volunteers for accompanying us that day and for all your support making this field trip happen. Here are some photos we would like to share!

Work and Play

Hi All,

Here are some great photos of Division working and playing over the last few months. It is so wonderful to see them interacting with each other so well, exploring, learning, and sharing. In this album, you will see photos of them during the dance assembly where they rocked their number and had skating lessons in January, the Valentine’s day Party and working on the Cardboard Challenge in February, playing basketball during some free time, a birthday photo, their trip to Burnaby South to see the Science Fair, their art submission for Arts Alive and pictures of them sharing their group stories. What great memories! : )

September and October Snapshots

Hello Everyone,

Wow! It’s incredible how time flies! We are in November already and Division 6 has been very busy indeed. Typically, by now I would have already had several posts up and students commenting on blog posts. Unfortunately, we are still waiting for the students’ passwords and usernames from the technology department in order to start. Normally, we would have them by now, so hopefully we will receive them soon.

I want to share with you some great snapshots of happenings of our first two months together. Enjoy!
