NELSON BIATHLON
Using our newly acquired cross country skiing skills, the Grade 2s and 3s of Nelson raced around the gym and traded in Beijing Olympic biathlon guns for scoops and bean bags.

NELSON ALPINE SKIING
It was all about team work today! Grade 2 and 3 boys and girls lined up on the alpine skis, grabbed on tight & tried to move as in-sync as they could!

Instead of 40 lb rocks, we grabbed beanbags and did our best impression of curling.

This week, Nelson begins our Winter Olympics competition with the sport of curling! Our version is done on the floor of the gymnasium with bean bags, but if you’d like to check out what the real sport is all about out, click on one of the videos below!

The Nelson Olympics started on Friday with an opening ceremonies orchestrated by the one and only Mr. Gurniak. After parading down the stage and through the gym in our classes, we were able to sit back and relax in our classrooms to watch the rest of the Opening Ceremonies which included choir performances and various exciting videos of the Olympic Games. The Nelson Olympic flag was raised, the torch was lit and we all recited the Olympic Oath (as seen below).

Nelson students in grades 3, 4, 5, 6, & 7 participated in our annual Cross Country competition on Thursday, October 7th. Students ran around the whole block, ending with a sprint towards the finish line at our playground. Division 9 Grade 3s had lots of fun racing for the 1st time against other grade 3s and all did an awesome job!
