Halloween at Nelson

Posted on October 28, 2024 by Ms. Watt | 2 comments

I hope everyone is looking forward to celebrating the spooky season at Nelson on Thursday! It’s going to be a busy, exciting day!!
If your child would like to wear their costume at school, please have your child arrive at school wearing it so they are ready to go at the bell for the festivities. No masks and weapons allowed. They are more than welcome to come with a change of clothes so they can change out of their costume after the assemblies and keep it clean for Trick or Treating or other activities Thursday evening.
I will keep them safe and dry in the classroom.

We will be having a Halloween assembly at 9:15 during which we will be performing a dance to Ghostbusters with Div. 8’s Grade 3s! You’re welcome to join us at the assembly to watch us perform. I will also be taking a video of it for families that are unable to attend. I’m so proud of the work all the work your kids have done learning the dance during the past few weeks. A video with the dance moves can be found on our class website.
After recess, we will be walking to St. Michaels care home to sing to the residents there. Its a tradition I continued on with after Mrs. Lentz retired from our school and we have been doing it now for over 20 years! The seniors love seeing the kids in their costumes and look forward to our visits every few months.
After lunch we will be joining the other primary classes for a Spooky Dance in the gym. Ms. Wen’s class will be leading the primaries in different dances and there will be lots of time to free dance as well.
For the last hour of class, we will be celebrating Halloween with some free time in the classroom. If your child would like to bring something to share with the class during our afternoon party, you’re more than welcome to but its absolutely not required. Please ensure it’s individually bagged or packaged.

Any questions, please contact me at stephanie.watt@burnabyschools.ca
As always, thanks so much for your support!

Orange Shirt Day 2024

Posted on September 29, 2024 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.
On Friday, Division 9 participated in a beautiful assembly where students from our class helped present a territorial acknowledgement.
On Tuesday we will continue our learning by speaking about the story Shi-shi-etko that was read during the assembly. In the story, Shi-shi-etko collected “memories” for her memory bag in order to remember her home, her land and her family. Students will be asked to imagine having their own memory bag to store things that help them remember their home. They will draw and label these items and explain why these items are special to them.

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