with Ms. Lai & Ms. Loungsay
Division 12 had a busy day decorating eggs with natural materials and gems and building spring pictures with loose parts! We also had an Easter Egg Hunt organized by the PAC. It was definitely a fun filled day! Hope everyone had a great Easter long weekend!
Our class ended our Winter theme unit by building homes for some of our forest animals. Each group chose their animal(s), gathered materials and then built the home together. We were so impressed with how everyone worked collaboratively and helped each other out! Great teamwork, Division 12!
Last week was an exciting week! We moved into our new classroom and we are loving our new learning and playing space. It was also kindness week! To show our friends how much we appreciate them, we brainstormed kind words to describe our friends. We also drew a portrait of our friends. Look at all the details and effort we put in to show our friends how much we like them!

Last week our class made some treats for the birds in our Parkcrest park. Ms. Paul brought in suet mixed with seed mix and we covered our pinecones with the mixture. We then went outside and hid the bird treats around our park for the birds to find!
During our nature walk, we found an owl pellet! Pellets are the undigested parts of a bird’s food, such as hair or bones, which are regurgitated (coughed up through the beak). We all thought that was pretty cool!
Merry Christmas Families!
Thank you for all your support and thoughtful gifts. We wish you all a holiday filled with warmth, love and happiness. We look forward to seeing everyone in 2022!
In discussions about Remembrance Day, we talked about what peace means to each of us. We talked about how lucky we are to live in a country such as Canada. Students were asked to reflect on what they are grateful for in their lives.
We had a virtual school assembly today. We stood and paused for a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served and continue to serve Canada in times of conflict and peace.
During the assembly, two of our students brought our class wreath to the gym, as part of the wreath ceremony. We created our poppies by stamping red paint with a heart shaped sponge, and then adding buttons!
