We had a wonderful start to the school year! September was full of school events. In our classroom, we read stories and played games. We are learning how to write our names “the kindergarten way,” starting with an upper case letter followed by lower case letters. We are learning routines and school procedures, and most importantly, we are having fun!
Thank you Division 11 for participating in Jump Rope for Heart this year! Our school discovered fun ways to get active and learned about helping others while raising money to beat heart disease and stroke. A very special thank you to Division 3 for organizing this year’s Jump Rope for Heart program!
It was a hot and fun Sports Day at Parkcrest! The teams did so well working together and cheering each other on! A special thank you to the Grade 7s for organizing all the stations.
The students had so much fun ice-skating, many of them ice-skating for the first time! Here are some photos from our two ice-skating sessions at the rink.
Thank you again to all parent drivers and volunteers for making this trip possible. ❤️
In early May, our grade 6 & 7 leadership students led a variety of Jump Rope activities.
We had a lot of fun trying out different types of jumps and tricks with our skipping ropes during our division Jump Event date. For many kindergartners, this was their first time attempting to jump rope. We set small goals for ourselves, and when the skipping was too difficult, it was okay to do some simple jumps. We also set our team goal of having fun, safe exercise, and jumping for healthy hearts!
The goal was to fundraise for Jump Rope for Heart, the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. Thank you to parents and the community for your donations! We have met our school goal and we will soon get a double recess!

On Wednesday, we celebrated the 100th day of school! Each student finger-painted 5 gumballs for our gumball machine. We saw that 20 students x 5 made 100 gumballs!
Students also painted 100 gumballs on their individual gumball machines.
We did 100 jumps in one day! We did 25 jumps, four separate times.
We also built our own 100 chart with 100 items! We made 10 rows of 10 items.
Ask your child to count by 10s to 100!
Welcome to Division 12’s class blog! Our first month of school has flown by, and our new kindergartners have settled nicely into their routines.
Last week, we participated in the school Terry Fox Run! After our virtual Terry Fox school assembly, we did some stretching, and then went outside to run some laps on our field.
Thanks to students, families, and friends for supporting our Terry Fox fundraising efforts this year. It was a fun day!
