Number of the Week

Posted on September 22, 2025 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Each week 3-4 clues to a number are posted both in the classroom and on this website. Clues to a new number will be posted each week on Friday morning. You will have the opportunity to submit your answer in our classroom before Monday’s Calendar time. One correct answer will be pulled out of a hat for a prize and then we’ll work together on additional math activities in the classroom based on the number.
Good luck Grade Threes!!

Orange Shirt Day 2023

Posted on September 29, 2023 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Orange Shirt Day is an event that started in 2013.
It was designed to educate people and promote awareness about the Indian residential school system and the impact this system had on Indigenous communities for more than a century in Canada.
The date was chosen because it is the time of year in which children were taken from their homes to residential schools.
This week, Division 9 students participated in Orange Shirt Day in a couple different ways. We. tried to put ourselves in the shoes of Phyllis Webstad and created art based on what t-shirt we would want to wear on the 1st day of school and discussed how it would feel if it was taken away. Today, a beautiful assembly was presented by Ms. Boyes and Nelson’s Indigenous Cmte. We ended with saying “Huy ch q’u” (“Hi-ch-ka,” giving of thanks, with our hands held in front at heart leave with palms open and facing upwards).

Nelson students, what was your favourite part of the day and how will you ensure that other students at school always feel like they matter, they are cared for and they are important?

Imagination Islands

Posted on November 22, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Div. 8 students designed and planned their very own islands! They were asked to be as creative as they could and have islands that were rich with landforms. They could add places for the inhabitants of their island to work, play and live. They used a paper plate and craft materials to create a 3-D map of the island. Click on the pic to see their wonderful creations!

Imagination Island

Taking too long?

Reload document

Open in new tab

Hello families! Division 8 students have sketched their very own islands, including at least 4 landforms we have been learning about, and will be creating a model of their islands on a paper plate next week!
I will provide the materials above (paper plates, plasticine, pipe-cleaners, toothpicks, card board, construction paper, tissue paper…) but students are welcome to bring their own art or craft supplies that are available to them!
Feel free to bring figurines to inhabit their island as well.
Any questions, please ask!
Thank you for your continued support, Ms. Stephanie Watt

Save the Turkeys!

Posted on October 24, 2022 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Poor turkeys don’t want to be eaten on Thanksgiving, so Division 8 students were given the task of disguising their turkey! Using anything they could find around home, they dressed their turkeys so that they wouldn’t be found and put on the table for Thanksgiving dinner.

The turkeys are now safely hidden in our classroom. *whew!*
