Grouse Mountain Field Trip

Posted on May 21, 2019 by Ms. Watt | Leave a comment

Last month the Grade 2s, 3s and 4s in Division 7, 8 & 9 traveled by school bus to Grouse Mountain for a day of adventure in the snow!!!

(Click on the smiley above to see pictures of our adventures!)
First, we walked through the winter wonderland of Grouse to have an interactive experience all about bears with bear artifacts, stories and we learned the similarities and differences between the 3 species of North American bears: the grizzly, black bear and polar bear!
Next, we stepped into an authentic Pacific Northwest Longhouse and had the privilege of having Kwel-a-a-nexw, Grouse’s Squamish First nations elder, take us back in time to discover the traditional way of life of our First Nations people.
After enjoying our lunches in the Grouse Mountain cafeteria, we had a guided snowshoe tour along the Light Walk trail before jumping back on the gondola and travelling down to our awaiting school bus back to school!

V is for VACATION FROM SCHOOL

Posted on June 21, 2018 by Ms. Watt | 1 comment

V ~ VACATION from School at Suncrest Water Park! We spent our morning playing in the spray park, on the playground and relaxing on our blankets with our friends. Cool, windy weather unfortunately had us heading back to school after lunch, but we got a quick side visit with Ms. Lawder at South Slope.

On Monday, May 7th, we will be visiting our neighbour school, South Slope Elementary, for their spectacular musical, Alice in Wonderland.

On Tuesday, May 8th we will be visiting Burnaby Village Museum for the day. Although we will be taking a bus there, we are looking for parents to join us and help lead a small group around the village.
Please let Ms. Watt know by commenting on this post or writing in your child’s planner if you are able to join us!

Thanks again for your continued support! 🙂

St. Michaels Visit

Posted on March 20, 2018 by Ms. Watt | 6 comments

On Thursday morning, we visited Saint Michaels with Miss Gatenby’s grade 1s for our 1st time this year & sang for the seniors.
I’m so proud of how everyone performed and were so respectful in a much different environment than you’re used to. Way to go grade 2s & 3s!
After entertaining, we were all spoiled with snacks and brought goodie bags back with us to school!
